To copy Smart Objects
When you copy a Smart Object to a different location, the copy uses the same source and target files as the original.
If you want to independently resize and optimize a copy, you can later create a unique target file.
1 Copy a Smart Object to a different location.
If desired, create a unique target file for the copy: In the Basic tab of the Image Inspector, click the folder icon
2
to the right of the Target text box.
Note: If a copied Smart Object shares a target file, GoLive displays a warning icon
image. This warning doesn't indicate a problem with the site; it simply informs you that resizing or reoptimizing the copy
will change all related Smart Objects. To locate related copies throughout a site, see "To find the source of Smart Object
warnings" on page 235.

In the Basic tab of the Smart Image Inspector, specify a color in the Matte color box.
