Moving layers between Adobe Illustrator and Adobe
Photoshop
When you import or place a Photoshop file that has multiple layers, you can flatten the
layers into a single image or convert the layers to objects. (See “
Opening and placing
artwork” on page 33.)
When you export layers, you can flatten them into one layer or preserve the individual
layers and sublayers so that you can work with them in the Photoshop file. You can export
Illustrator layers to Photoshop using the Export command. (See “
Exporting artwork in
Photoshop format” on page 326.)
