Creating "true clones"

In this movie, I'll introduce you to another feature of smart objects that…doesn't have a name, that is to say, Adobe's never given it a name.…Which is why I call it true clones.…And, the idea is you can create several copies of a…smart object and they'll all link back to a single original.…So, we're going to start with this revised version of the art work.…You can see that I've switched out the tiger's…head for a more colorful piece of stock art.…But it's still a smart objec that links…back to adobe illustrator. And I also have this layer of text.…We're going to go ahead and convert the text into a smart…object and copy it several teimes to create this watermark pattern.…

And the idea is we're including this watermark so if we give away the image…for free, it's not usable, until somebody purchases…and downloads an unwatermarked version, of the compisition.…But because I've set the watermark using true clones, I…can always switch out the company name if I want to,…like this.…And I can do so, in just a couple of operations as we'll see.…
