How Do You Edit a Smart Object in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 12:46 am

A smart object is a layer in Photoshop that contains image data. You can edit smart objects in Photoshop by double-clicking on the layer in the Layers panel. This will open the image in a new window.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that editing a smart object in Photoshop can be tricky and may not always produce the desired results. If you are not familiar with Photoshop or are not confident in your editing skills, it is best to avoid editing smart objects.

Make your edits to the image in this new window, and then save and close the window. Your changes will be applied to the smart object layer in the main Photoshop document.

If you need to make further edits to the smart object, simply double-click on it again to reopen the image data in a new window.
