Hello, I need help plz , I work on a Photoshop file inside After Effect, and let's assume his name is file1 .. After a period of time I discovered that there is something wrong in file1 that must be modified in the Photoshop  again ... which I want to know is there an automatic way for the changes to be transferred directly from Photoshop To the After Effect file .. Or do I have to save the changes in Photoshop in new file and work on it again on After Effect? thanx ..

Select any Photoshop layer in your comp, press Ctrl/Cmnd + e and Photoshop will open. Make your changes but do not add any other layers and save the file. The changes show up immediately. 

 

If you must add another layer then save the file under a new name and import the file adding only the new layer to the Project Panel.

As long as the layer structure doesn't change, AE will automatically reload all changes once you reopen the AE project. only if you add or delete layers or shuffle them around will things get chaotic and you may need to manually replace/ relaod individual layers.
