Smart Text in Photoshop is something I wanted to write about for quite some time.
You may have been in a situation, where you work with text and you want to apply a filter to your text. Photoshop prompts you to rasterise text. I know I’ve been there. Here’s a screenshot:
Looks familiar? I’m pretty sure you have seen it before.
If you were wondering what to (in most cases you don’t want to rasterise the text, what if you want to edit it later?), here’s a solution for you: use Smart Objects! As simple as that! You didn’t think it would be so easy, did you? So, here’s what you can do:
Create a new document and add some text like I did here (as on the screenshot above).
Next, right click on the text layer you have created and convert it to a Smart Object as shown below:
Once you’ve converted the text to a Smart Object, you can add filters and… they will all become Smart Filters! How cool is that?!
And this is just a beginning, I’m going to delve deeper into that tomorrow…

Adobe Creative Suite 5
As you may have noticed, we had an upgrade from Adobe earlier this year, named CS5.5. Even though it wasn’t a major upgrade, not every Adobe application got an upgrade, i.e. Photoshop (among some other applications) doesn’t have anything new and it is not a Photoshop CS5.5.
There are some major changes just around the corner, that will change the way new versions (starting from what I understand will be CS6) will get upgrades. From what I understand, when Adobe release Photoshop CS6, you will need to have CS5 or CS5.5 to get an upgrade (you will only be able to upgrade up to two versions, so CS5->CS5.5->CS6. Correct me if I’m wrong.
From what I understand, if you do not have CS5 or CS5.5 when CS6 is released, you will NOT be able to get an upgrade… You will have to buy the full version instead, what for Photoshop would be somewhere around £700 in the UK ($700 in the US)…
What is suggested (not by me) is that people upgrade their CS4 to CS5.5 now, so next year they could get an upgrade to CS6. But then, will it come cheaper to pay for an upgrade now and then next year again? You judge it by yourself.
Another option you will have will be to pay subscription for Adobe software (monthly or yearly), which makes some sense to some people, people who don’t use Photoshop on regular basis as an example.
Welcome back to Photoshop Lightroom Bridge – your daily portion of tips, tricks and techniques. Today, it’s time for metadata.
Have you ever wondered how to remove the metadata from your images when exporting/publishing images? I don’t mean totally removing metadata from your original images, just removing metadata from the images you’re planning to put online, as an example.
Well, if you wondering that, it’s actually quite easy. I’ll show you how to do it in Lightroom (I assume you’re a Lightroom user).
You may be wondering why you may want to remove metadata from your images, are you not? There may be a few reasons:
These are just a few ideas that came to my mind, you may have some other reasons.
The easiest way to remove the Metadata is to use Photoshop or Lightroom.
In Photoshop, you go to File > Save for Web & Devices, and set Metadata to None (on the right hand side, under Preview.
In Lightroom, when exporting an image check Minimize Embedded Metadata.
I hope you enjoyed it. Let me know if you have questions/comments.
