Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop Embed problem.

Creating in Adobe Illustrator current booklet as usual was linked Adobe Photoshop files.
At some point of work i have Embed some pictures, select Flatten Layers.
After while I want correct something again in Photoshop.
I find all the layers are flattened!
How it can be avoided?
Thank you!

Try this:
1) Open random.psd file that has more than one layer in Photoshop. Close file.
2) Open random .ai file in Illustrator.
3) Import random.psd file in Illustrator with settings you mentioned before.
4) Save .ai file and close it.
5) Go to Photoshop. Open the same random.psd file in Photoshop.
6) Check that random.psd still have layers.
If my scenario will work, then you have simple mistake. You are trying to open random.psd file from Illustrator (Edit -> Edit Original or Tripleclick). It has the same name as your psd file, but it's not. It's embed picture made from your psd file.
If my scenario is not working, it's a bug and you should contant Support.

Recommended hardware configuration when using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop

Hello!
I am an Illustrator who uses Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop most of the time. Today I am using Adobe CS5.5 suite and is thinking of getting the Adobe CC. As my computer today is abit old and "tired", I am unsure about what to focus on when updating my hardware?
I am using today a HP workstation with following hardware:
Software:
Windows 7
Adobe Creative Suite CS5.5
Hardware:
Processor:              Intel i7-2600 3,4GHz
Internal memory:     8,00 GB DDR3
Disc drive:               500GB SATA disk 7200rpm
Graphics card:        NVIDIA GeForce GT 1GB
Since I work both with Technical Illustrations with loads of anchor points in Adobe Illustrator, I get sometimes error messages like "Out of memory" and such. I read about having two discs, one system disc and one work folder disc, that would solve that problem. But I am also working alot with large illustrations for comercial and advertising situations and I feel that it tend to get a bit slow, especially when I add gradients and blendmodes to an illustration.
So If I could get som recomendations of what to focus on to boots the speed in my system, also taking into account that my budget is somewhat small, I would really appreciate it!
Best regards
Ulf

I have similar setup to yours.
From my point of view you need more RAM. I have 16GB. Than you will need to change in preferences to adjust memory used by PS and Illustrator. Maybe take a look at virtual memory in Windows and disable aero effects.
Disk. It is better to have one disk for system (eg.SSD) and one for documents. But don't buy something like WD Green series that is intended for backup.
Graphics. It is not a major player I think for your tasks, but OpenGl can speed up rendering in Photoshop and Illustrator.
When exporting AI with layers to PSD it will always show "out of memory" unless you turn off anti aliasing.
and the most important thing reinstall Windows after some time... It will work faster.

I have Windows 7, and I am being told that it does not support the newest Ai Illustrator, Are there any other alternate routes I can take to get adobe illustrator and photoshop on my computer? Perhaps an earlier version? Thanks! ~

houseofrest,
According to this page, you can use it for CC:
Adobe Illustrator CC for Mac, Windows, PC - Tech specs
Or you can buy CS6:

My Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop CS6 aren't opening...

Hello, I am having issues with my Illustrator and Photoshop CS6. Both software are encountering different issues. For Illustrator, the issue is that when the software is trying to start up, it crashes unexpectedly (it seems to get stuck on the "ColorHarmony.aip" then quits). Illustrator opens maybe 5% of the time when i sit there and try to open it, but its rare to get it to work.
For Photoshop, it crashes 50% of the time during start up (similar to Illustrator), but the main issue with Photoshop is that when it actually opens, everything becomes incredibly slow. The mouse glitches and it takes extremely long for anything to actually work, I can't even select tools because the mouse glitches so bad.
inDesign however is completely fine.
I own the Adobe Creative suite : Standard
My computer is a HP Envy laptop with windows 8.1. It has 16b of RAM, an i7 processor and has a nvidia geforce graphics card.
I have already un-installed and re-installed the software and even did a system restore and it didn't solve the issue.
Please help I need this for school.
Thanks,
-Eric

Moving this discussion to the Illustrator forum.
Eric you have not posted any installation errors thus I moved this discussion to the Illustrator forum. I would recommend you post any specific launch error or performance inconsistencies in the forum relevant to that software title.

Laptop for adobe illustrator and photoshop

We are getting a new laptop for my daughter and a subscription to the Adobe Creative Cloud. She is interested in graphic design and mostly uses photoshop and illustrator. She has already sold several ebook covers and some other design projects. We are looking at laptops with an i7 processor and a SATA drive. We are unsure where to put our money - faster processor, more RAM, SATA vs optical drive, dedicated graphics card - for optimum performance. What do we really need? dedicated graphics cards seem to cost about $200-300 more. My IT friend says the SATA drive will make the biggest difference in speed....
HELP!!!
Here is two we are looking at . Would these perform well for creative cloud and last several years? Which would be better? Thanks for your advice.
Dell Inspiron 15 5000 Series Touchscreen Laptop | Intel Core i7 | Backlit Keyboard
8GB DDR3L 1600MHz RA
Intel Core i7-4510U Processor at 2.0GHz

1TB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
Microsoft® Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
15.6" Touchscreen Truelife HD LED Backlit (1366 x 768) Display
Integrated Graphics
HP ENVY 15t Touchscreen Laptop | Intel Core i7
4th generation Intel® Core™ i7-4710HQ Processor (2.5GHz)
16GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm)
1TB 5400 rpm Hard Drive
SuperMulti DVD Burner

802.11b/g/n WLAN
HP TrueVision HD Webcam with Integrated Digital Microphone
15.6-inch diagonal Touchscreen HD LED-backlit Display (1366x768)
Intel HD Graphics 4600

What is you actual budget?
If you are wanting a machine that is going to run well for a number of years and keep up with the ever developing Adobe Creative Cloud then I would suggest investing in something that has a good amount of RAM (8GB RAM recommended), a good graphics card (1GB VRAM recommended), a good processor and plenty of hard disk space.
Here is the specifications for Photoshop and Illustrator:
System requirements | Photoshop
System requirements | Illustrator
My suggestion would be something like this Dell Precision M3800 — 15" Mobile Workstation | Dell UK
Good luck.

Touch Screen Drawing With Adobe Illustrator And Photoshop

I've read that people have used the touch screen monitors of there home computers to draw in Illustrator. Is this true? If so what types of computers/monitors allow this?
Also any other devices? I've heard of the Surface Pro and am still researching it.

I have the surface pro 3 I7 256GB device. It works great using the Adobe suite CC 2014. If no keyboard is connected then you can use the new touch interface in Illustrator. The pen that the surface has 256 pressure levels. Which is usually more than enough even in photoshop.
The touch interface is much larger than the normal interface making easier to see on the hyper resolution screen (2160x1440)
If you use the normal interface (which you will need to at times) I recommend a mouse so you can easily select buttons and menu items.
If you purchase a tablet and for any reason the pen does not work correctly or other defect, it is recommend to send it back for replacement. There have been some issues reported on the surface forum. But I do not know if these were early units or what. Just so you are aware.
The reason why you should use the surface over other tablet is because of the pressure sensitive pen. Photoshop for example can use the capacitive pens for accessing the interface but the brush tool requires a Wacom style pen.
To my knowledge most if not all tools in illustrator can use a capacitive pen.
Most features like zoom, move even the new straight rule/French curve work by using two fingers.
The best part of having a touch screen is the ability to see what you are drawing while you draw it.

Simple Edits to Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop files

We need to be able to make simple edits to Photoshop and Illustrator files -- e.g. fixing typos. I am hesitant to buy a copy of both programs at over $1000 when we will be using 0.01% of the program!
Desire is to open, make edit, save in original format.
Anyone know a way?

>Anyone know a way?
You want to edit a Photoshop file, buy Photoshop. You want to edit an Illustrator file, buy Illustrator.

Can`t open document on Illustrator but adobe reader and photoshop opens it, why?

Can`t open document on Illustrator but adobe reader and photoshop opens it, it is a problem with the text font Futura T-Bold. How to open it on Illustrator?

I downloaded the file, and:
It is not a Photoshop PDF.
I get the same result attempting to open in Illustrator; mangled font substitution. That's because I don't have one or more of the exact fonts used in the document installed on my computer, and I suspect the same is true of yours.
The fact that it opens without issue in Reader and Photoshop is essentally meaningless, (or at least it's not an inidication that it also should open without issue in Illustrator, which is what your original post seems to imply). Reader displays the correct fonts because subsets of them are embedded in the PDF for use by Reader. Photohop just rasterises the whole page, so there is no font data needed.
If you had the fonts, you wouldn't get the substitution in Illustrator. It works that way for any PDF.

I'm having problems with CS2 (mainly illustrator and photoshop

I'm having problems with CS2 (mainly illustrator and photoshop ) randomly shutting down while trying to save a file. Reformatted my laptop for fear of a virus and reloaded... I have gotten nowhere.
Please Help!

CS3 still had issues with the preferences becoming corrupt, so a possible workaround would be to reset the preferences.
The file is called AIPrefs and is located under 'Documents and Settings/User/Application Data/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings'. It is a hidden file. Delete it with Illustrator closed and when you launch the program again the file will be rebuilt.
May be it is also sounds like you need more memory for your computer. If you can navigate to your computer's memory controls, and allow your operating system to use a portion of your hard disk drive (HDD) as RAM (maybe 2Gb or so) it may solve your issue.
How is about: http://www.filerepairforum.com/forum/adobe/adobe-aa/illustrator/383-%E2%80%8Bcorrupted-fon ts-in-illustrator-file-urgent-help-need – resource has non-commercial specialty
Third party software Illustrator Repair Kit also must be good solution
It has free demo version at:- http://www.illustrator.repair/
Hope this will be helpful.

I enabled Arabic in Language options and it already works in Adobe InDesign. How do I enable Arabic language compatibility in Illustrator and Photoshop?

I enabled Arabic in Language options and it already works in Adobe InDesign. How do I enable Arabic language compatibility in Illustrator and Photoshop?

I just don't want the window to be so huge. I would like to limit the size of the window to the size of my image, exactly as in Photoshop.
You are working on a canvas/ artboard, not within an "image". Since you can place objects arbitrarily in relation to that artboard, even by large numbers outside of it, having it display in a cropped manner doesn't exactly make sense, if nothing else, at least for being able to select content. I don't really see your problem and from my fading memory of CorelDraw and Freehand I don't remeber them doing it differently, either, nor is InDesign. You just have to get used to it. For programs that are/ were hardcopy-centric in the first place, it also makes no sense to have a background color other than white. Arguably they could allow users to change it and maybe there is already some way to do it that I'm not aware of, but it's logical to me...

Opening files with Illustrator and photoshop doesn't work, i have to drag the files from finder in to the program. This problem appears after opening 4 a 5 files.

Opening files with Illustrator and photoshop doesn't work, i have to drag the files from finder in to the program.
This problem appears after opening 4 a 5 files, rebooting helps another 4 a 5 times and appears again.

I'd recommend reposting in the Boot Camp forum, that is where the Boot Camp and Windows gurus hang out.
Good luck.
