atomicSmart Objects

photoshop_create_smart_object_via_copy

Create an independent Smart Object via Copy — unlinked duplicate with its own embedded contents. Users often say: new smart object via copy, independent smart copy, duplicate smart object separately. Use when: you need a second Smart Object that does not share embedded data with the original. Do NOT use when: you want linked instances — use photoshop_duplicate_layer (Layer via Copy). Returns: JSON { ok, summary, details: { source_layer_name, new_layer_name, kind } }. Preconditions: Smart Object layer active or named. Side effects: adds a new Smart Object layer.
