    I was new to Photoshop, when I began this series. Just heard about Photoshop, and seen with my designer friends, but now, after completing this 18th part of the series, I can say that I know at-least the basics of Photoshop.

    Thanks.

    Great tutorial! I remember spending a little bit of time trying to figure out smart objects when they were just first added to photoshop. I though the idea of saving the original resolution for scaling was great, but I felt it was always kind of clumsy in terms of editing the source separably so I didn’t give it much thought. This tutorial really helped me think of new ways and reasons to address smart objects, I’m absolutely loving the idea of none-destructive filters.

    Love your tutorials, always something new to learn!

    Maybe I missed it, but how do you “link” a file that’s been added to another as a Smart Object? The tutorials skipped that part…
