eobet Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Can't believe I have to ask this, but when pasting things into Photo 2, they become images. Yes, I can rasterize them, but aren't images like smart objects? If so, how do you edit them? I can't seem to double click to do it, and there's not context menu for it either that I can see... Also, if you scaled the image, and then copy it and paste it into a new document, it's the scaled result that gets copied, not the original image! Seems you have to manually set the scale to 100% in the toolbar before copying it? Right next to a big "replace image" button that's mocking you because I don't see any "Edit Image" button! I must admit I don't get the UX behind this at all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Then use File->Open... instead, in order to deal directly with pixel/bitmap layers, so without having first to rasterize image layers from dragged in image files.

What kind of "things", and what are your document preferences regarding whether Placing items Embeds them or Links them? When you have the item selected in your document with the Move Tool, what do you see in the Context Toolbar?
