Allow extraction of smart object items.
Currently you can rasterize the smart object - or manually drag the layers from the smart object back into the document - but it would be great if I could just select "extract objects".

And what if the smart object has been resized? Then you can give the alert:
This smart object has been scaled, would you like to extract the layers in their original size or in their scaled version?
[Original] [Scaled]
[ x ] Scale effects

    How many years do we have to wait for these basic and simple characteristics. We need more productivity.

    Addition of 'Master Artboards' in Photoshop. So we do not need to create so many smart objects.
    In addition the smart objects must be converted with Ctrl + G and open with double click in the same document.
    If you resize the smart object, each pixel layer * becomes another smart object.
    * No text layers, no layers of shapes, no layers of settings, ...

    Note: Excuse my English. Is translated.

    I did script which can manage it. Download here: http://bereza.cz/ps/

    • Puts content exactly on the same place.
    • Works with multiple layers simultaneously.
    • Respects selected composition in the smart object.
    • Scales content if the "SO" has different size.
    • Also scales layer effects.
    • You can choose if you want remove SO or hide it (change true/false in the top lines of file) Anyway it sets gray color tag to SO and you can easily filter extracted SO.

      So I think I found a workaround for Batching this script...if you load it into Scripts event manager with whatever other actions you would like and you make sure to save it at the end it should work...So far so good today.

      There is this script, but it leaves a copy of the old object behind which adds an extra step. http://blog.kam88.com/en/expanding-sm...

      I would also really love native support for expanding smart objects!

      Sometimes I create a smart object of a layer to preserve the pixels of that layer(s) if I start playing with things that might affect it if it were still pixels in a regular layer like changing the canvas size.

      I would like to be able to change the smart object back to layers in the file rather than having to go into the smart object edit mode and copy/paste back into the parent .psd.

      I am currently using the captain awesome script...however it cannot be used in batch actions...which is annoying when processing large groups of images

      Photoshop: It would be great if Photoshop had the ability to expand an embedded smart object in the file it was embedded into along with maintaining clipping path information from the embedded smart object...if anyone has a solution for that it would be great if not then Adobe...make this happen
