    It looks like you're placing your artwork in side a Smart Object. A Smart Object is a container for other artwork. If the wine labels are all using the same Smart Object, then I would expect the labels to be the same. What you can do is make a copy of the Smart Object that is different by selecting one of them, right-clicking to the right of the layer name in the Layers panel, and selecting in the contextual menu "New Smart Object via Copy." It will make a copy of the Smart Object, but it becomes a different Smart Object. Then you can double-click on that new Smart Object and place your label. You'll need to repeat the process for your 3rd label.

    Hi @Chavi3690 it appears that the Smart Object layers were all duplicated from the first original one. They were then renamed. That means that all three are pointing to the same original source. You'll need to create three separate individual Smart Object layers not copy/duplicate one.

    Easy to fix - double click to open one of the Smart Objects (lets say the left one). Save As out of the psb source file to your desktop.

    Next exit the Smart Object.

    Take the right and mid one individually and right-click the layer/rasterize smart object.

    Then right-click again and convert each to a Smart Object.

    Double-click the mid to open then go to your desktop file and open that.

    Move the layers from the saved as file to your mid PSB source file (delete the original layer) and save.

    Replicate process for the right.

     

    This will create three individual Smart Object sources.

    thank you so much!
    I have a few questions though-
    1. what do you mean by saving out of the psb source?
    2. is there any chance I can send you the file and you will change it? that
    can be a huge help!!!!

    @Chavi3690 when you double-click and open your Smart Object it either opens in a psb or vector format (depending on the file type). Save that source file to your desktop using Save As and renaming.
