How to use smart objects in Photoshop CS2

Smart objects in Photoshop CS2 have a similar concept to Corels Paint Shop Tubes. For example, smart objects allow you to easily place images onto your canvas with a few clicks of your mouse. Your then able to resize them, keeping the quality of the image as you do so.

If you place more than one instance of any smart object on your picture, any changes you do to that smart object will effect all of them.

This can be very handy if your creating an image that contains multiple elements such as stars for example and in future you need to change the color of them. Changing the color of one star will change them all.

Of course if you want each smart object to be edited separately, Photoshop allows you to do that as well. Shown below is a video tutorial that demonstrates the advantages of using smart objects. It also explains how and when to use them.

The graphic software used in this tutorial is Adobe Photoshop.
