Learn two ways to copy smart objects in Photoshop, one that creates an identical copy and one that creates an entirely separate copy!

This video shows you how to copy a smart object in Photoshop, an essential skill for creating layouts and templates. You’ll learn the difference between the New Layer via Copy command and New Smart Object via Copy, and which one will give you the results you need!

To see the difference between New Layer via Copy and New Smart Object via Copy, we'll start by converting a layer into a smart object. Then, we'll make two copies of the smart object, first using the New Layer via Copy command and then using New Smart Object via Copy. Once the copies are in place, we'll edit the smart objects and compare the results.
