The use of smart objects in Photoshop allows the designer special freedoms such as the ability to edit filters at any stage of your workflow and the ability to resize multiple times without a significant loss of image quality. Helen Bradley demonstrates how to leverage smart objects to dramatically increase design efficiency. She also provides a real-world example of how this feature in CS3 can be applied to a design project.
