: Photoshop CS5: duplicate layers with "smart objects" I'd like to make use of photoshop's "Smart Objects" to have an easier time managing my layers. I have about 20 layers that will be duplicated

I'd like to make use of photoshop's "Smart Objects" to have an easier time managing my layers. I have about 20 layers that will be duplicated 10 times... and I'd rather manipulate them as single objects than as 20 layers each.

I created a smart object out of the 20 layers... when I duplicated the smart object, and edited to newly duplicated object... any edits also affected the original.

Is there a way to make distinct smart objects out of duplicates so they can be edited independently?

If the SO is duplicated by choosing New Smart Object via Copy in the
context menu (control-click on the SO in the layers palette), the new
SO is independent of original: edits in one will not be replicated in
the other.
