![]() Here are a few other things to consider when choosing between an ON1 Smart Photo and a Photoshop Smart Object.Ĭamera RAW Re-edits: Using a Smart Object enables re-editing of the fundamental edits done in Lightroom using Camera RAW in Photoshop. The Smart Photo workflow “taints” my carefully curated keyword list. Elsewhere in my keywords hierarchy (not shown) the same keywords exist. See the example screenshot and notice all of the items in the Keyword List area with check marks next to them. When the PSD returns to Lightroom, the flat list of keywords is added to the Lightroom keyword hierarchy. The export expands all keyword hierarchies and includes synonyms and puts them in the Smart Photo PSD as a flat list of keywords. Where keywords get dicey with Smart Photos is because of the export. ![]() In Lightroom, I tag my photos with Ocean and on export the synonym Mar is included automatically. I have the keyword Ocean and have defined a synonym Mar (sea in Spanish). I also use keyword synonyms, often for multiple languages. When I add the ‘La Jolla’ keyword to my image, on export I get everything else above it (San Diego, California, etc.). In my Lightroom catalog, I have a keyword hierarchy of Place > North America > United States > California > San Diego > La Jolla. For example, the photo on this page was taken at the ocean in La Jolla, California. A few keywords added in Lightroom can be expanded to a larger set during export. Normally, this is all great news for keywords. The differences start when you launch the plug-ins. Both workflows begin in Lightroom with your basic RAW processing. Smart Photos and Smart Objects change the game.įor Lightroom users that have ON1 plug-ins, which approach should you use? Smart Photos or Smart Objects? What are the pros, cons, and considerations? I’ll detail them for you in this article so you can choose the best approach to suit your unique workflow. ![]() Once adjustments are made in the plug-in and you return to Lightroom, you cannot open and re-edit the adjustments made in the plug-in. What does that mean? Launching a plug-in from Lightroom is usually a one-time, destructive editing session. ON1 Smart Photos and Photoshop Smart Objects both provide a non-destructive plug-in workflow from Lightroom. Ready to buy? Use the offer code SDP20 at checkout and SAVE 20% !

When you don't have a catalog, you can only browse images on currently mounted volumes.If you are trying ON1 Photo RAW 2021, the ON1 plug-ins, or upgrading from an older version, please consider using my affiliate link. (And if I wanted to edit them when they aren't online, I could generate Smart Previews.) So a catalog makes it possible to record and organize all your images on any drive or computer you have, in one database. ![]() I can search, organize, and preview all of those images across all of those drives and computers from a single catalog, and none of those drives has to be connected unless I need to work with the original image files. (I have Lightroom catalog the images on my laptop when it’s mounted as a network volume, because there are some projects that are only on the laptop.) For example, my Lightroom catalog not only shows me the images on the photo hard drive in my computer, it also catalogs images on several other external drives that aren't plugged in, as well images on my laptop. One advantage of a catalog is being able to keep track of images stored on any drive, even if they’re not currently connected to the computer. ![]()
