F E A T U R E S:



Replace warped smart content perfectly with the ”Edit Contents” mode

All warps--including perspective warp, all smart filters, all layer effects are applied to the replacement image, perfectly aligned in place of the original image.

Transparent image support

Transparent replacement images appear transparent in the export

Use it on multiple smart layers

With the Job Queue add on (sold separately), before running the script, other replacement jobs can be set on other smart layers. This allows replacement of multiple mock up objects in a PSD.

Use the same replacement jobs on multiple PSD files

With the Job Targets add on (sold separately), one or more smart layer replace jobs can be run on a batch of Photoshop files, targeting same-name smart layer contents or whatever smart layers are available.

Comment

• Photoshop 2020 and CS6 compatibility
• Render 3D Layer option added
• Add-ons compatibility
• Now uses self-deleting snapshots to restore history exceeding the number of history states limit set in preferences.
• Added history entry for the extension action to get back to after deleting a generated snapshot.
• Fixed issue with file inputs that have transparent margins not resizing properly due to Photoshop measurement by artwork bounds only

Version 2.19.0810
• Compatibility with the latest version of Job Queue and Job Targets add-ons (sold separately)
• Created a ZXP installer instead of zip extraction to install.

Version 2.19.0809
• Alerts user if active document is not yet saved. This may also occur if an auto-recovered document is being used. Saving the document at least once is required to use this extension.
• Added support for invisible smart layers. Previously, if the smart layer is invisible, the script fails to align the smart layer to the original center of origin after replacement.
• Mac compatibility, replaced app.activeDocument with activeDocument variable to avoid error: ”Error 1302: No such element”
• added support for editing smart layers that are linked to Index color mode files, typically in GIF format.
• Fixed ”RelinkToFile command is not available” error caused by a bug where after a select all layer action, when selecting now or later, the layer is not selected if it is the first root layer.

Documents
 Batch Smart Layer Replace--User Guide.pdf

If installing from the zxp file, do not use Adobe Extensions Manager which was discontinued since 2014, to install the zxp
file. Use any of the following Adobe extension installers:


• Electron Adobe ZXPInstaller, an open source Adobe extension
installer from zxpinstaller.com
• ExManCmd command-line tool from Adobe

You may watch this video as an easy guide to the next installation steps described below.


After acquiring the extension from Adobe Exchange or installing from the zxp file, navigate to the following folder:

Windows—C:\Users\[Windows Username]\Downloads
Mac--/Downloads

Find the following zip file and extract it:

• pixelsplasher-batch-smart-layer-replace_3.20.0210.zip

Find the following zxp file that was extracted from the zip and install it:

Pixelsplasher-Batch-Smart-Layer-Replace_3.20.0210.zxp

After installing from the zxp file, navigate to the following folder:

Windows—C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CC [Version Year]/Presets/Scripts
Mac--/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CC [Version Year]/Presets/Scripts

And check if the following file were successfully installed in the ”Pixelsplasher Scripts Only” folder:

• [folder] Pixelsplasher Scripts Only
• Replace Smart Content.jsx

If the files that should have been installed are missing, manually extract them from the zxp by the following ways:

• Rename the .zxp file extension to .zip and open the file with the associated zip extraction program
• Right click the zxp file and open with any zip extraction program like 7zip or Winrar

Then copy the extracted files to the Presets > Scripts directory. For Adobe Photoshop CS5 to CS6, copy ”Replace Smart Content-CS6.jsx” instead of ”Replace Smart Content.jsx”.

To access the File Options add-on, select a smart layer, then click on the menu:

• Adobe Photoshop CC: File > Export > Smart Layer Replace...
• Adobe Photoshop CS: File > Automate > Smart Layer Replace...
