Question

Photoshop - replace multiple smart objects - find by name

Hi Adobe support community,

Is there a way to replace multiple Smart-objects in Photoshop by selecting one map  on my harddisk (with all the files that needs to be replaced)

Is It possible that Photoshop can find then the same name as in the Smart object and replace the files by name. So multiple Smart-objects need to be replaced with new images in one map on my computer. I Want the script does a find and replace thing.

I hope someone can help me, now I replace all the smart images one-by-one. 

- Select smart object - Replace content - search for the right name and so on for 10 times sometimes in a photoshop file. It is very time-consuming.

I hope someone can help me, you can also send me a message here.
The Screenshot shows all my layers that need te replaced.

For further questions please don't hesitate to send me a message.

Kind regards,

Eline Kouijzer

You seem to be using the term »map« repeatedly – do you mean a »Folder«? 

 

Could you please post a screenshot of both the image’s Layers Panel and the replacement files in the File Explorer? 

Do the Smart Objects have multiple instances in the document? (Avoiding double-replacing would seem prodent to save time.)

Hi, Thanks for your reply.
Attached an screenshot of my Folder on the computer. The tiff files need to be replaced in the photoshop. Left is the folder and right are the photoshop smart objects that needs to be replaced. 

Some of the smart objects are instances, but I cannot use an instance for reflection.tiff and for Specular.tiff. These are two different files.

Another point: Is the folder with the replacement images located at a definitive relative position to the image? (Like there always being a Folder named »renderings« next to the Folder that contains the psd or some such set-up …)
