Select the <strong>Smart<\/strong> Object, then choose Layer > Rasterize > <strong>Smart<\/strong> <strong>Object<\/strong>. Right-click the Smart Object in the Layers panel and choose Rasterize Layer.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, how do you turn off Smart Objects in <strong>Photoshop<\/strong>?

This will open a new window in Photoshop displaying the contents of the smart object.

Jump back to Photoshop and paste it, choosing Shape Layer when the options pop up. Then delete the Smart Object if desired.<\/p>\n<h2>How do I make a smart object directly editable?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>No matter when you receive the error \u201cCould not complete your request because the smart object is not directly editable\u201d, the simplest solution is to open the wrong image and unlock the image layer in Photoshop. After that, you can delete, cut, or modify image selection.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do you deselect in Photoshop?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Deselect Area With a Keyboard Shortcut in Photoshop On Windows, press Ctrl+D to deselect the selected area. On Mac, press Command+D. Photoshop will immediately deselect the selected area on your photo.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Why does Photoshop import as smart object?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Smart Objects are layers that you can edit in Photoshop nondestructively; that is, changes you make to the image remain editable and don&#8217;t affect the actual image pixels, which are preserved. Regardless of how often you scale, rotate, skew, or otherwise transform a Smart Object, it retains its sharp, precise edges.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Why is my smart object not directly editable in Photoshop?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The image layer involved in the selection is locked \u2013 The most common reason why this issue occurs is when the selected image layer is locked or partially locked. Follow Method 1 for steps on unlocking the selected image layer.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Why can you nondestructively scale a smart object?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Smart objects offer many advantages, but one of the biggest is that they allow us to resize images non-destructively. Normally when we scale an image to make it smaller, Photoshop makes it smaller by throwing away pixels. And once those pixels are gone, there&#8217;s no way to get them back.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I turn a smart object back to a layer?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"width:100%;height:420px;\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Wveg7LMDFgc\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do you ungroup objects in Photoshop?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Click on the group of layers that you want to ungroup.
