Question

Same Transformation as Smart Object

Hello Guys,

 

is there a script which can transform a layer (e.g. Layer 1) the same way like a smart object without opening the smart object and paste layer 1.

 

Thank you for your help,

 

Sebastian

Your question does not seem to make sense to me.

Please explain what you actually mean, maybe post screenshots including the pertinent Panels. 

 

Why don’t you use Layer > Smart Objects > Replace Contents instead of opening the SO and pasting?

    Sorry for this.

     

    I have a document with many layers. 

    The top layer is a SO and called TRANSFORM.

    Now I would like to copy the transformation settings of my smart object to a rastarized layer in the current document.

     

    Thank you for your help,

    Sebastian

    1. New smartobject via copy (from original TRASFORM SO)
    2. Edit this smart object
    3. Duplicate your layer to smart object doc.
    4. Close-save smart object doc.
    5. Rasterize smart object.
     
     
    upd.
    You can also pull out the transformation parameters for the smart object with a script and apply them to the layer. But this is a complicated script. I have no ready code. Need time.
