P: Want to change Layer Comps inside a Smart Objects

That's a different request, which already has a topic.

As an extension of this feature, I'd really like to be able to record which Layer Comp of the SO is displayed in the parenting PSD via the parenting Layer Comps panel.

This will make the feature a lot more useful and I think quite a few folks would benefit from it.

Currently, the only way to get close to this is to duplicate the SO and then record different states for each SO in the parenting LCs.

* This may have changed in the very recent release for PS 2015, I haven't had time to look into it quite yet.

Because it was implemented as a feature already. You can select which layer comp you want to display from the SO.

Why is this tagged as "Implemented" when it is not? I still cannot save the state of the smart object inside a layer comp in my main file.

+1 on need to make smart object layer comps saveable in the parent doc's layer comp.

Anyone know of a good scripting work-around in the meantime?

Great update, and thanks to Thibaud+Josh for the "make copies of smart objects" workaround.

Of course, +1 for the ability to do this without duplicating smart objects 🙂

Hey TVV,

Yeah, that's what I've been doing. It's the only approach that I can see for now.

indeed. i suppose it's a good step in the right direction, but I fail to understand how useful the new feature is if it can't be stored in layer comps.
So...are we supposed to make copies of the smart object and play with the visibility ?

As of June 18th '14, it looks like almost have what we need. :)

Photoshop CC 2014 now offers the ability to select a Layer Comp inside of a Linked Smart Object (child PSD), from a parent PSD. This is a nice and welcomed improvement for sure.

*What we still need:*

A way to record individual/unique Layer Comp states of a Smart Object (child PSD) from the parenting PSDs Layer Comps Panel.

So close!...But not quite there based on what I'm seeing as of today.
