Linked smart objects are very powerful, but they're only available in Photoshop CC. So to follow along, you'll need <a href=\"https:\/\/prf.hn\/l\/dlXjD2w\" title=\"Get Photoshop CC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Photoshop CC<\/a> and you'll want to make sure that your copy is <a href=\"\/basics\/update-photoshop-cc\/\" title=\"Learn more\">up to date<\/a>. Let's get started!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"sub\">What are linked smart objects?<\/h2>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n.adslot-2 { display: inline-block; width:300px; float:right; margin: 6px 0px 12px 20px; }\n@media (max-width: 767px) { .adslot-2 { display: none; } }\n<\/style><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- 300x250 photoshop basics top responsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle adslot-2\"     \n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7310008691\"\n     data-ad-format=\"rectangle\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<p>Smart objects have been around since Photoshop CS2. But in Photoshop CC, Adobe introduced a new type of smart object known as a <strong>linked smart object<\/strong>. Before that, the contents of a smart object were always embedded in the document. This meant that there was no way to share a smart object <em>between<\/em> documents. Any changes you made to your smart object in one document would not appear in any others.<\/p>\n<p>But <em>linked<\/em> smart objects are different. Rather than embedding their contents, a linked smart object simply <em>links<\/em> to an external file, like a separate Photoshop document. Multiple documents can all be linked to the same file, and any changes you make to that file will instantly appear in every document that links to it!<\/p>\n<p>This makes linked smart objects perfect for things like watermarks. You can save your logo as a separate file, and then link all of your images to that file. If you edit the logo, the changes in that one file will be updated throughout all of your images. Let's see how it works!<\/p>\n<p class=\"members-ad-top\"><a href=\"\/print-ready-pdfs\/\">Download all of our Photoshop tutorials as PDFs!<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"sub\">Creating the logo document<\/h2>\n<p>To add a watermark as a linked smart object, you'll first want to create your logo in a separate document. Here's the logo I created. I added some basic copyright information, like the copyright symbol and year, as well as my name and my website address below it:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/smart-objects\/watermarks\/logo-1.png\" alt=\"The logo that will be added to the images as a watermark\" width=\"702\" height=\"286\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Create your logo in its own Photoshop document.<\/div>\n<p>If we look in the <a href=\"\/basics\/layers\/layers-panel\/\" title=\"View tutorial\">Layers panel<\/a>, we see my Type and Shape layers.

To resize it, press and hold your <strong>Shift<\/strong> key, as well as your <strong>Alt<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Option<\/strong> (Mac) key, and then click and drag any of the corner handles.

But Photoshop won't automatically update a document that was not open, even if it also links to the same shared file.<\/p>\n<p>To show you what I mean, and how to fix it, I'll reopen my third image, the one I closed earlier, by going up to the <strong>File<\/strong> menu and choosing <strong>Open<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/smart-objects\/watermarks\/file-open-photoshop.png\" alt=\"Selecting the Open command in Photoshop\" width=\"290\" height=\"134\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Going to File &gt; Open.<\/div>\n<p>I'll navigate to the file, and then I'll double-click  to open it:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/smart-objects\/watermarks\/reopen-third-image.png\" alt=\"Reopening the third image back into Photoshop\" width=\"704\" height=\"240\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Reopening the third image.<\/div>\n<p>And notice that this image is still showing the original logo, even though it's linking to the same file as the others. That's because the document was closed when I made the change:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/smart-objects\/watermarks\/third-image-original-logo.jpg\" alt=\"The logo in the image that was closed did not update\" width=\"704\" height=\"362\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The logo in the image that was closed did not update.<\/div>\n<h3>Updating modified content<\/h3>\n<p>If we look in the Layers panel, notice the small <strong>warning icon<\/strong> in the lower right of the smart object's thumbnail. This icon tells us that the contents of the smart object have changed since the last time the file was opened, and it needs to be updated:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/smart-objects\/watermarks\/smart-object-warning-icon.png\" alt=\"The warning icon in the smart object indicates that the contents have changed\" width=\"411\" height=\"258\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The warning icon.<\/div>\n<p>To update it, make sure the smart object is selected. Then go up to the <strong>Layer<\/strong> menu, choose <strong>Smart Objects<\/strong>, and then choose <strong>Update Modified Content<\/strong>. Or if you have several smart objects that all need to be updated, choose <strong>Update All Modified Content<\/strong> instead:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/smart-objects\/watermarks\/update-modified-content-photoshop.png\" alt=\"Choosing the Update Modified Content command for smart objects in Photoshop\" width=\"260\" height=\"112\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Going to Layer &gt; Smart Objects &gt; Update Modified Content.<\/div>\n<p>As soon as you select it, Photoshop updates the smart object with the new content, and just like that, our new logo appears:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/smart-objects\/watermarks\/smart-object-updated.jpg\" alt=\"Updating the smart object replaced the old logo with the new one in Photoshop\" width=\"704\" height=\"362\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Updating the smart object replaced the old logo with the new one.<\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n.ads-bottom { width:300px; padding-top:16px;padding-bottom:16px; }\n<\/style><div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- 300x250 page bottom responsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle ads-bottom\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2879809098\"\n     data-ad-format=\"rectangle\"\n\t data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p>And there we have it!
