Hi, I'm trying to send a web banner to a friend, the file works great for me but when she opens it the links work but the image source is broken. How do I correct this for her to use on her website? I understand the problem is with the source file being on my computer but how do I share them correctly? Thank you in advance

Hi @Kacey5ED6 

 

If you placed images as linked Smart Objects, then you can use File > Package to send all of the files properly to your friend.

Websites do not display PSDs, so she will most likely need to flatten a copy and save to JPEG, GIF, or PNG.

You must have created a layer that incorporates the source file as a Smart Object, by placing a linked file. In your image, right click the smart object and choose Embed File. This will make your file size bigger, but will include the image in the actual file. IF you like the smart object and all your effects and don't intend to edit any further, you may find "Rasterize" a more efficient (file-size-wise) option, instead.
