Photoshop CC 2020 convert smart object to layers new feature tutorial



Convert a smart object to layers in Photoshop CC 2020 (and probably CC 2021 2022 etc) via the layer menu and via the properties panel. This is a new feature to convert a smart object into layers (which in turn could be smart objects and they can also then be broken down) to create a layer structure of all the component parts of a smart object. Sadly, you can select multiple smart objects and one click, convert all the entire smart objects into a single set of component layers (such as shapes, text etc) - would be handy for some situations, I guess. Anyway, you could always access the components but this was spread over multiple PSB files. You can then re-build the smart objects from those paths etc
