once more.
you can do this
create psd1 and save
create psd2
under the file menu select place...
place psd1 into psd2 it shows up as a layer.
double click on the icon in the layer palette and it will open up the psd and you can edit however you want
edit - save
changes reflected in new psd
easy

I just discovered the 'duplicate layer' or 'duplicate group' feature in the layers pallet. That will copy and paste in place in another open document. I always do that now when I need to update a smart object in mutiple documents.

Does this make sense???
"A Smart Object is an embedded file that appears in its own layer in Photoshop. A Smart Object layer is distinguished by an icon that overlays the thumbnail image displayed in the Layers palette.
Smart Objects are different from other layers because they are linked to a source file (e.g., an Illustrator file, JPEG, GIF or other Photoshop file). If you make changes to the source file, the Smart Object layer will also be updated with those changes.
- but you have to have the source file open at the same time I believe.mg33

I place vector files as smart objects into Photoshop all the time, and when I edit them they update in every instance in every file they are placed. Same with smart Photoshop objects. Whatever you're doing, you're doing it wrong. I'm sorry I can't steer you in the right direction.
- just explain the process to us :Perikjonsson
- I place smart objects within multiple documents. That's the process.monospaced

sixfngers... this does not work. the changes are not reflected across all .psd's. Anyone have any other work arounds for this?
