- You’re using Photoshop wrong! Fortunately, there’s a simple solution, smart objects. And I don’t mean, sometimes. I mean ALL the time.

These are questions we ask ourselves, and you, sir, answered it: you should convert all your pictures into smart objects. Photoshop should open all pictures in smart objects. Thank you.😁
More on that note coming soon. (Two weeks. Turn on Notifications!)
Always use smart objects, though it has its quirks. It is a feature that I would love to see in Affinity as well, perhaps as Smart Layers
This very topic is slated for a future week!
Very good thank you...
You’re very welcome!
Smart Objects are great! It could do so much more. One source for multiple Smart Objects. Complex multi layer image inside. Illustrator file as a Smart Object. Place Embeded...
Yes, yes, yes, and yes! It reads like my original list (that I obviously slimmed down). I do include much of that at my Patreon, if it’s any consolation. 😉
You sir deserve a sub =) Cheers from Sweden =)
Awesome!
You definitely don’t need to use smart objects all the time. And they increase your file size quite dramatically - especially if you have lots of layers.
I use smart objects most of the time, except “painting layers”. After u finish, just go back and rasterize the smart object layers before you save it.
This is generally true (good point!), however difficult to predict. The mere act of converting an image to a smart object *can* as much as double the file size. It’s largely a buffering issue, designed to streamline the editing experience. But file sizes likewise balloon when you add so much as a single layer. That 10MP filter effects kid in the video goes from 6MB flat JPEG to 25MB single-layer raster to 70MB single smart object. Personally, I lean into flexibility.
Why Photoshop BETA 25.11 doesn't let me scale a layer without using the Shift key? :(
Ps Beta reverts to defaults, and no-shift proportional scaling has been a default for a few years. Try Preferences > Use Legacy Free Transform.

does making a dumb face on your youtube video thumbnail get more views? can you do a tutorial about how to make engaging thumbnails for youtube videos please
Definitely not convinced making a dumb face is the key. (In fact, regretting this one, though can’t change it now! It’s too thoroughly associated with this video. 😅) But, yes, once I feel like I have a better sense of what works, I will happily make a how-to thumbnail video.
Hi Deke, could you please consider doing some tutorials on software other than Adobe..
This is a serious request.
Your talent is going to be wasted otherwise...
Thanks for your mentorship over the years.
But if you don't, I'll be unable to watch your channel anymore.
And I'll miss your incredible detailed and humorous teachings.
Much Love...
Sure, absolutely. What specific software are you interested in? Affinity? And thanks!
A bug is going to fly into your open mouth. Not every video is literally jaw dropping 😉
Ha! (Fortunately, if you look very carefully, my jaw-dropping is purely figurative. 😂)
Subscribed! Appreciate you having a sense of humor. You know your stuff too 👍🏻

Love your channel. But please would you content creators stop with the fake open mouth surprise look? It's getting old.
LOL. I have to admit, I totally spaced out this thumbnail until 4:30am the morning the video went live. If I were to have honestly reflected my mood at the moment, I would have been face down, mouth open, drooling.
Heey Deke!!.. You're Really 'Stayin' on Top of This Crazy New, Digital (pixelated?) World, Arent'cha?!?..
I'm 'Trying' to pay-attention.. (Promise!!)..
I Giess 'As Long As You Keep Trying to Raise My Awareness & My Digital IQ..
I really have NO Excuse, but to Pay attention!?!..
