How to work with a Library in Photoshop
Libraries can speed up your workflow as you can import your most important visuals to avoid opening up the same files over and over again. For products like our “Ultimate Shape Box” you have the option to do exactly that.
To place a linked item (will automatically update after you’ve edited the source file):
1
Right-click on the item and select “Place linked”.
2
Click on a random place on your artboard to place the item.
3
To detach it from the source file, select either “Rasterize Layer” or “Convert to Smart Object” in the Layer Panel.
To place a copied item (will be detached and can be edited directly):
1
Right-click on the item and select “Place copy”.
2
Click on a random place on your artboard to place the item.
3
The item is now added as a “Smart Object” that can be edited in Illustrator. If you prefer to edit it within Photoshop, right-click on the Layer name and select “Rasterize Layer”.
