[QUOTE="hark, post: 630463, member: 13196"] Thanks, Fish. I've been watching a few videos on Smart Objects but I have a question I haven't been able to find answers for. Can smart objects have layer masks applied? Due to the name [I][B]layer mask[/B][/I], I'm guessing not. I haven't used masks much so am still learning how to do them. In a couple of the videos, they show how the Gaussian blur can be added to the entire smart object then adjusted later on. But if only a part of the image has a Gaussian blur, can that be done via a Smart Object and layer mask? I do use the Gaussian blur a lot but not as a mask or separate layer. Can you tell I'm still trying to wrap my head around layer masks and smart objects.... :confused: [/QUOTE]
