I have looked around and searched, but with no success…

I want to make a layer (that is file3) in File1 and File2. For example I draw a bird in file3 and I drag that bird-layer to both 1 & 2. When I change file3 and draw a car instead, I want photoshop to update the layers in 1 & 2 as well.

Is this possible? Is there maybe a plugin or something else that can help me?

If I use Smart object I have to open all the files and then all the smart objects and edit each SO. Same thing if I use Replace content.

Katarina,
Search Photoshop Help file for "variables"

Thank you, variables is just what I searched for!

Now the next question:
Is there any way you could update 2 or more "data sets" at the same time? It doesn’t work to mark several, and the dialog box closes itself after I press "apply".
