    rasterizing smart objects, 3 methods?

    Christian Davideck Community Member

      Hi folks. There are 3 ways to rasterize a smart object.

       

      With the smart object selected in the layers palette:

       

      1) Layer > Rasterize > Layer

      2) Layer > Rasterize > Smart Object

      3) Layer > Smart Objects > Rasterize

       

      There is of course a 4th possibility directly from the layers palette, which - being another location - is justified, but 3 menu items ?

       

      Question: Are the 3 menu items identical (CONCERNING smart objects! ... I know someone will try to point out that rasterize > layer is a more general case)? If no, what exactly is the difference? If yes, shouldn't the menu be more streamlined then (in CS3 in my case) ?
