Photoshop co-editing explained: How to collaborate live without chaos!

Together with Ingo Lindmeier, we'll delve into Photoshop's co-editing feature. We'll learn how to edit projects simultaneously, invite others to collaborate, and structure our workflow with color-coded layers. Challenges such as working with smart objects and limitations in the editing log will be addressed in a practical way. We'll discover ways to increase efficiency and how to make collaboration clear and flexible – always open to feedback from the community. 🎤 Introduction to Co-Editing Live (00:00 - 05:06) • Welcome to the second part of the Co-Editing Live series with Ingo Lindmeier • Introduction to the collaborative editing feature in Photoshop • Explanation of the necessary requirements: Photoshop beta version • Process for activating the co-editing feature: Share button - Enable live co-editing • First limitation: Smart objects must be rasterized to work in the co-editing space 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Basics of collaborative work (05:06 - 12:19) • Inviting other users via email address or link • Displaying users using different color markers • Synchronizing changes between all participants in real time • Real-time display of which user is working on which level • Implementing a structure by creating groups for each editor • Using masks to divide the workspace 📋 Workflow organization (12:19 - 23:11) • Need for clear communication regarding task allocation • Suggestion: Color-coding layers to indicate status (red = to be edited, green = completed) • Setting up a 'Done' group for completed elements • Important feature: Filtering by layer color for better overview • Each user can filter individually without affecting the other's view • Automatic color transfer for new layers within color-coded groups ⚙️ Functional limitations and logging (23:11 - 31:05) • No support for guidelines in co-editing mode • No way to go back in the log without losing the connection • Undo commands (Ctrl+Z) work, but are recorded as new log steps • Language support: Log steps are displayed in the respective user's language • AI tools such as generative fill work seamlessly • Splitting the project into two workspaces using masks 🧠 Smart objects and linked content (31:05) - 43:38) • Demonstration of working with Smart Objects and their limitations • Concept of linked Smart Objects for collaborative editing without position shifts • Difference between duplicated Smart Objects (sharing the same content) and newly created Smart Objects (independent content) • Challenge: Limited synchronization when working within Smart Objects • Attempt to develop a practical workflow with Smart Objects • Decoupling Smart Objects when reconverting to Smart Objects 🛠️ Practical Application and Outlook (43:38 - 58:35) • Demonstration of the masking technique and checking the masking result • Transfer of finished elements between editors • Discussion about the possible expansion of the workspace for separate workspaces • Challenges: Working with plugins, actions, and different languages • Reflection on the need for flexibility and clear agreements • Request for feedback and development input from the community 🚀 https://www.bildbearbeitung-lernen.de/ We'll accompany you on your journey to your dream photo.
