Editor’s Note: Don’t miss this week’s free event on when to jump from Lightroom to Photoshop.

If youve spent any time reading or watching Photoshop tutorials, youve likely heard the term Smart Object, usually combined with non-destructive editing, but what exactly is a Smart Object, and how does it differ from its dumb alternative?

At its core, Smart Objects allows you to accomplish three things:
  1. Preserve the data of your original layers
  2. Apply editable filters and adjustments
  3. Update multiple layers at once
