Hi,

I have photoshop 23.0.0 and am not finding the quick actions in discovery or in the properties.

How do I correct this?

Thanks

    I did not intentionally make it a "Smart Object". I simply dragged the image from my desktop onto the Photoshop page. Should I have the athlete image on its own Photoshop page and then copy/paste it over to the original page?

    Dragging from the Desktop (or Finder or Windows File Explorer) to Photoshop makes it a Smart Object. Dragging from one Photoshop file to another does not. You can right-click it and rasterize it.

     

    If you want to keep it as a SO, double-click the icon to open the .psb, make the edits, then save and close the .psb to return to the .psd.

    Do you have the Background layer selected or another layer?

    Also, you might to collapse the other sections if your panel is too small.

     

    Share a screenshot if you don't see it.

      I do not see "Quick Actions" either and I have updated my Photoshop. The Properties selection was toggled. Here is a screenshot.

      Hi Phil,

       

      You will see Quick Actions on the Background layer and on pixel layers, not on Smart Object layers like the one you have selected.

       

      Is there a reason you have made this a Smart Object? If not, you can rasterize it.
