Which is why in this movie, I'll show you what it looks like to edit text buried inside of a nested smart object here inside Photoshop. So the first step is to double-click in the smart objects thumbnail here inside the layers panel. Then, we'll open the parent smart object; the one that contains the sideways text with all the filters assigned to it. Next, go ahead and double-click on its smart object thumbnail in order to open the image that contains that live pipe as well as the shape layers. Now I'm not going to need the shape layers this time around but rather than throwing it away, by selecting it and pressing the backspace key or the delete key on the Mac which amounts to a permanent modification, I'm going to undo that change and merely turn the layer off…
