Photoshop export options

When you export artwork to Photoshop format, you can set the following options:

Color Model Determines the color model of the exported file. Exporting a CMYK document as RGB, or vice versa,

may cause unexpected changes in the appearance of transparent areas, especially those that include blending modes.

If you change the color model, you must export the artwork as a flat image (the Write Layers option is not available).

Note: If you want to export image maps, set Color Model to RGB. This is because Adobe ImageReady® only supports

RGB documents. (Photoshop does not support image maps.)

Resolution Determines the resolution of the exported file.

Export As Determines theversion of thePhotoshop file.NotethatPhotoshop CS format preservesthe editabilityof

all kinds of text objects (point text, area text, and path text), while Photoshop 5.5 format preserves the editability of

only point text objects.

Flat Image Merges all layers and exports the Illustrator artwork as a rasterized image. Choosing this option

guarantees that the visual appearance of the artwork is preserved.

Write Layers Exports each top-level Illustrator layer as a separate Photoshop layer if doing so does not compromise

the appearance of the artwork. Nested layers are flattened into the top-level layer during export, unless the Maximum

Editability option is also selected.

Preserve Text Editability Exports horizontal and vertical point type in a top-level layer to editable Photoshop type if

doing so does not compromise the appearance of the artwork.

Note: Text in nested layers is always rasterized.

Maximum Editability Writes each top-level sublayer to a separate Photoshop layer if doing so does not compromise

the appearance of the artwork. Top-level layers become Photoshop layer sets. Also exports hidden layers in the

artwork to hidden Photoshop layers. If more than 100 Photoshop layers result, an alert reminds you that Photoshop

5.5 and earlier will not be able to open the document. Also creates a Photoshop shape layer for each compound shape

in a top-level layer if doing so does not compromise the appearance of the artwork. To write compound shapes with

solid strokes, change the Join type to Round. (See “To change the caps or joins of a line” on page 225.)

Note: Illustrator cannot export compound shapes that have graphic styles, dashed strokes, or brushes applied to them.

Such compound shapes will be rasterized.

Anti-Alias Removes jagged edges in the artwork by supersampling it. Deselecting this option helps maintain the hard

edges of line art when it is rasterized.

Embed ICC Profiles Creates a color-managed document.
