Rasterizing a smart object inside a frame - Photoshop

Question

I was able to rasterize a smart object inside of a frame to edit it. I can't find a way to do that in the newest version of photoshop. Only option is to edit the smart object in a seperate window which is a bit time consuming. Any ideas?

I also get the not allow cursor. But did you try to actually click with the "not allow" cursor on the SmOb?

Yes I get a popup stating it can not be done without you merging the group.

The group would be the frame mask and layers pixels transformed by the layers associated layer transform. Frame layer content are Smart Objects and all smart objects have an associated layer transform. Photoshop would need to apply the Frame mask to the layer transformed pixels and make the results the merged raster layer. You would no longer have a frame layer. You would just have a pixel layer

Adobe Frame layer are not well implemented. I wrote I removed the Frame tool from my tool bar I also disabled it shortcut. I have never had a problem framing images layers. Adobe does.

Are referring to the smart object in a frame created by the buggy Adobe Frame tool. Its still a smart object layer with a strange Frame mask. You should be able to double click on the layers content thumbnail in the layers palette it's not in the normal left position the strange frame mask is there. Also check the Properties panel you may be able to edit the content there or from the Layer menu there is no need to rasterize it to edit it.

This one is a RAW smart object so ite will edit in ACR if the object is a vector object it will edit ine Illastrator of rhe olject is a layers image it will edit ine Photoshop.

Why do you want to rasterize it. Is not an option from the layer palette fot that layers Edit Content is.

Even in CC 2019 you could not rasterize a framed Smart object rasterize was grayed out. You had to remove the frame then Rasterize Smart object was possible. Adobe frames only frames smart object. Adobe Frame tool uses place and place has problems that is why the Frame tool has problems. I removed the Frams tool from my Tool bar Photoshop never had a problem framing images the frame tools was not needed. The implementation of the frame tool is floored to boot.
