Would be great if phtoshop would  allow to create styles from filters and editds applied to a smart object.   Would make Styles  actually usable and helpfull.    Also would help to get rid of lots of tedious routine

Marking a Feature Request as such would make it »actually usable and helpful«. 

 

What »routine« are you talking about? 

Which edits are you likely to apply to a Smart Object aside from the Smart Filters? 

Have you considered using Scripts or Actions to automate those tasks?

I marked my post an "idea"   .   Isn't it basically a  feature request  or I should do it somewhere else?

 

Edits are  levels, invert, match color  end so on.     For example I'd like a "style"  that turns  16 bit height image  into a notrmal map.    That works only in 32 bit  mode properly  and needs  emboss, levels and gamma fix   separatly for red and green channel ( the blue I don;t need) .   

 

Scripts and Actions are cool but takes time sometimes. Not very convenient to manage .  I don't know how to write scripts really.  The actions often is a mess that takes too much time to debug .      I'd like something like a subgraph  in Substance Designer  saved as a Style within a nice Style panel  and working live over a a group stack of height representing layers.      An ideal solution weould be just support of  "filters" done in Substance Designer probably  but my guess it will never happen.

Are you sure? Because it’s listed as »discussion« (see screenshot). 

 

Match Color? Does that even work as a Smart Filter?

Do you mean they take time to create or to run? 

The management probably depends on how well you organize them. 

 

For edits that can actually be performed as/with Smart Filters (which can include Adjustments like Levels, Curves, …) you could also set up a template file and use »Replace Contents« to switch in new imagery or drag&drop the Smart Filters.
