What is embedded link Photoshop?
In Photoshop and in any other program… Embedded means «object “contained” in the Work File». Linked means “linked” 😎 to the “object” in its original place - if the original “object” or its original place” are moved, the link is broken and the Work File won't show the “object”!
What is a benefit of using a linked Smart Object in Photoshop?
Linked Smart Objects are useful if you plan to use the same source image across multiple Photoshop projects or you're working with others. This makes it easy to update all instances of your Smart Object when you change the source file.
