I make use of a Smart Object in a PS CS5 file.
I've applied the Displace filter on this Smart Object (so it's a smart filter).
I use as displacement map a file called mymap.psd (greyscale, 8bit and flat).
All that stuff is in the same folder. Everything is saved using "Maximize compatibility".
When I edit and save my Smart Object (= the .psb file), everything works fine :
When I copy the whole stuff on a new PC (all PCs under same OS), as soon as I save my Smart Object file, PS shows up the dialog to set (again) the Displace properties and then the one to select the map file !
It's just as if PS is unable to locate the map file...which is just at the same level as the main one.
I'm really stuck because I can't distribute this product with this issue.
Hope you got ideas !
Thank you for reading
Phil

When I edit and save my Smart Object (= the .psb file), everything works fine :
- PS saves it, closes it and applies silently the Smart Filter with its settings
- ... but that happens only on my development computer !
