LAYER AS A SMART OBJECT
You are painting or applying filters directly to the pixels. After working for almost an hour you feel that
you are not happy with the results. You cannot undo the changes made to the original image. For saving
the pixels you can put them inside a container. Smart object works like a container to an image. When
you make a layer a Smart object, you will be able to perform non-destructive editing to the layer. Smart
Objects preserve an image’s source content. There are two ways to convert a layer into smart object.
