PSD Mockup embed image problem

[Wosven]

I had time to check: in fact, it's the same object embedded multiple times. Each click on the embedded object open the same .psb file.

Wow! Nice find!

And I think this feature is no problem with @carl123 trick:

• if need change ALL items to same, then will change in Photo,
• if need different change to each, then I will open with Photo first, and in next step Edit in Publisher or Designer. 

I tested on bottles:

• opened embedded image of Right bottle in Photo, and renamed a layer. When opened Middle bottle and check same layer, there is renamed layer. Worked as same objects.
• opened in Publisher, and rename embedded layer in Left bottle, but under Middle bottle not changed. Worked as different embedded objects.

Great find! Thank you!

However, Photo and Publisher should operate on documents the same way. So I would say that there's a bug here given that they don't.

Hi mykee,
Sorry the delay getting back to you. I've been quite busy with several things to check/test since 1.8 launch .
The problem is not with Affinity Photo but with the way the psd was built in Photoshop. The results you are getting in Affinity Photo are the same you would get in Photoshop (as Wosven already pointed out).
The Edit in Publisher/Designer "trick" is actually a bug. Somehow the link between the various smart objects/embedded objects is lost when you switch to Publisher/Designer which may lead to unexpected results. You can easily check this switching the file to Publisher or Designer and changing the "Kute" text in the right bottle to something else (i've written SOAP in this example). As you can see in the screenshot below since the "link" to the Right Bottle Content Effects embedded document/smart object was also lost (along with the links to the other bottles) the faded "shadow" behind the main text didn't follow the changes and still says "Kute". This is not how this is intended to work. I'm logging it to be looked at. Thanks for your report.

@MEB and @Wosven thank you for great test, and I waiting final result for this interesting thing.
