grammy1 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I have used curls before and had no trouble following the tutorial and getting great results. I just purchased MRE curls, and I can not get the one side to delete. I get this message--Could not complete your request becaused the smart object is not directly editable. I tried it on my old curls and get the same message.What happened? Thanks in advance for your help. Margie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariJ Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Hi Margie, I don't know about the curls specifically but if you are working in PSE as I suspect -- I used to get those kind of messages all the time in my program (PSE 6). I can't readily explain it all - but if you --- Make that layer active by clicking on it, then Go to the top and click the "Layer" tab to get the drop-down menu, Click onto "Simplify layer" That should work and you should be able to do what you need. I'm rushing and can't quite get my head together, but someone else might come along to explain the meaning of this (I think Linda did recently in a thread) -- but hopefully this will get it working for you in the meantime. Good luck and let us know if you need more help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariJ Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Here's a thread where there's some talk about Smart Objects that might help you understand it better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRS Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 If you are using Photoshop, you need to "Rasterize" the layer instead of Simplify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Margie You're so welcome Margie and very happy to return the favor! I can tell you that smart objects drove me crazy over the years until Jody figured out what the problem was.
