Action for Replacing Contents of a Smart Object

Jan 2, 2012 6:25 AM

I am using CS5/PS to create a collage created of several images (smart object layers) that I have positioned using individual clipping masks.

 

I would like to be able to replace the contents of the images, which I can do via Layer>Smart Objects>Replace Contents...,   but I'd like to have an action for a "one-click" process instead of three clicks.  Problem is, when I try to record the action, it requires me to complete the replacement, and then the action gets hard-wired to replace the image used in the action "record", and therefore doesn't allow me to select which image I'd like to use.

 

This functionality is available in PS Elements, so I believe it can be done.  I'm sure I'm missing something pretty basic, I just don't know what!!

 

Thanks in advance,

  Brian

    Have you checked the »Toggle dialog on/off«-checkbox beside the item in the Actions Panel?
