    Could not update smart object because the file is already in use (Please Help)

    For those who dont want to make an account, I had to update to the latest version that came out last month.. that kept failing, I then turned off my firewall & VS, the update went in, the problem was solved and i'm able to edit any mock up I want now.

    nah, Photoshop Gurus sounded cool, heh. Thanks for all your time though, i've done the same and always end up at a dead end, no good results. I'll try the Adobe forums in the morning. Thanks again!

    I have a PC, an I7, GTX 970, 32gb ram, 2tb HD, Win10... same system I was editing mock ups with last year all the time. i'd just goto the red layer, 'your logo here' edit it, replace the image with my own, save and done. no errors. only real change is the updates in PS :\

    Thanks for the reply! I found that page and had read it over twice, when I go to save the 'Your Artwork Here' layer after editing it, it gives me that error. :\ If I rename the Logo and save it, aka save as.. it doesn't apply to the mock up. What really sucks, I've made plenty of these edits in...

    I searched a bit and found a few threads touching on this, just none getting my answer. Previously in PS CS 2017 I had no issue opening a mock up, and then the correct Logo layer, editing the Logo layer and clicking save. Boom, job done.. nice n easy. It seems since I went to 2018 though I cant...
