How do you convert the layer named layer 1 to a smart object?

  1. Layer>smart object>convert to smart object

  2. Window>layer>convert

  3. Edit>Transform>smart object

  4. File>layer>convert to smart object

The correct answer is: Layer>smart object>convert to smart object

To convert a layer to a smart object, you would navigate through the Layer menu and select the appropriate option to initiate the conversion. The process involves selecting Layer in the top menu, then Smart Object, and finally opting for Convert to Smart Object. This method allows the user to easily access conversion options specific to layers without any additional steps. The other choices reflect incorrect combinations of commands or menu items that do not lead to converting a layer to a smart object. For instance, the second choice mentions "Window>layer>convert," which does not follow the correct hierarchical menu structure in typical graphic design software. Similarly, the third option incorrectly suggests using "Edit>Transform>smart object," which is not the appropriate path for converting layers. The last choice lists "File>layer>convert to smart object," that also misplaces the conversion option, as the Layer menu is not under the File menu. Understanding the correct navigation is essential for effective use of the software’s features.
