Illustrator to Photoshop Smart Vector Object

After pasting a vector object into a PS file as a smart object, I thought I could double click to re-edit in Ilustrator.
It will only open as a PDF in PS.  Am I missing something basic here or do I need to set a preference differently?
I am new to Ill, please help if you can.
Windows 7, CS5  Ill & PS.
Thanks for any help.
D

Thank you!  The simple and correct answer. This is working for me now.
I am on Win7 so i right clicked on an Ill file and chose always use this program in the advanced section.  It didn't show PDF as a default but Ill but after I have done this it is working as expected.
I am again a happy camper!

  • Pasting Smart Object from Illustrator to Photoshop Creates "Blank" Object

    Hi,
    I just upgraded to Creative Suite 5.5 from CS 4. Prior to the upgrade, I was able to select objects in Illustrator, copy, and paste them as smart objects in photoshop without any problem. Now when I paste them Photoshop correctly recognizes the dimensions, but when the object is inserted it's completely empty. I've checked the fill and opacity for the pasted layer (both are at 100%). I've applied color overlay blending effects but there's nothing there. It's totally empty. I'm able to copy and paste images from my web browsers and from the system (Mac Lion) clipboard by taking screenshots, but I cannot paste anything from Illustrator. It's just empty.
    Note: I've been using Photoshop for over a decade, so it's not a "I don't know how to copy-and-paste" issue. I've also confirmed that Illustrator's file handling and clipboard preferences are set to PDF and AICB. I've also done a complete uninstall of CS 4 and CS 5.5 (including deleting preferences), and reinstalling CS 5.5. But it hasn't fixed the problem.
    I've Googled this for almost an hour without any luck at finding a solution or even anyone who's having this problem. Anyone out there who can shed some light on what the solution might be?

    Yes >>Preserve Appearance and Overprints<< is checked. 
    Attempts to paste into other applications result in the same empty box. (I hadn't tried this before, so thank you, this makes me think it might be an Illustrator problem rather than Photoshop, but read on. Something isn't right with my CS 5.5.)
    Nothing peculiar about the copied content. I've tried numerous AI files with simple vector images that I've copied as smart objects before. 
    You can't double click the empty SO object, because it's literally empty. It makes an empty layer in Photoshop. (But, when you make a new file or paste into another application, it does see the correct width/height of the copied object - but then it fails to paste it.)
    I've tried placing the AI file in Photoshop and it says "Could not place because of a program error." Is there something wrong with the way my CS 5.5 install is handling vector objects?

  • Unknown error when copying any object from Illustrator to Photoshop

    When trying to copy an object from Illustrator CS5 and paste it to Photoshop CS5 on Windows 7 I get the the following error when I switch from Illustrator to Photoshop:
    The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. [pdf!]
    This only happens between Illustrator and Photoshop - copying an object to InDesign works fine.
    I deleted the full Adobe preferences folder on D:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe   but that doesn't help.
    Am I the only one with this issue?
    Q

    There's definitely something wrong.
    Have you rebooted your machine recently?
    I'm on a Mac, so maybe something happens on Windows that I'm not aware of.
    Let's see if anyone on a Windows system has any ideas.
    Anyone?

  • Illustrator vector object becomes less black in Photoshop

    I drew an object, all black, in Illustrator, then placed it into Photoshop, the vector become less saturated than it was in Illustrator. Can anyone help me solve this problem?

    Sulaco wrote:
    You might also want to check "Edit/Preferences/Appearance of Black" in Illustrator. To deepen the black when printing (CMYK) you mix other colours into it, creating something called Rich Black. The mix could be something like C=50,M=50,Y=50,K=100, this will produce a blacker black than C=0,M=0,Y=0,K=100 (called 100K Black) when printing, it's desirable in certain situations.
    Now "Appearance of Black" controls how black is displayed/printed/exported in Illustrator and I think that the default setting is "Display All Blacks As Rich Black" which means than if you use 100K Black in Illustrator and then transfer it to PS it might look less black in PS, depending on your settings.
    It's one of those things that, even if new to CMYK, 100K black would look so wrong, you'd have to look into it and find out what the heck was going on
    Sulaco, useful tip about pasting into Photoshop.

  • Pixelated Smart Object import from Illustrator to Photoshop ( CS3 )

    For years everything was glorious when I imported graphics from Illustrator to Photoshop.... And now all of a sudden, every time I import/paste into photoshop it is horribly pixelated. The only way I can solve this problem is to save in illustrator as an eps and then open the document in photoshop (boo).
    Have I changed some preference on accident?
    Thanks for your time with this, and if this has already been answered I apologize I searched prior to posting,

    Hello,
    Same problem - what do you mean when you say 'trashing' does anyone have the correct settings for AI & PS on this please
    Many thanks

  • Ps CS6 Problem: Incorrect rendering of pasted Adobe Illustrator vector objects

    Ps CS6 v13.0.1
    OS X 10.6.8
    Problem: Ps CS6 incorrectly renders vector objects pasted from Adobe Illustrator. CS5.1 does not exhibit the problem.
    Below is screenshot of artwork in Illustrator and which is copied to clipboard, followed by screenshot of "Paste as Smart Object" in Ps CS5.1 then screenshot of same paste in CS6. "Paste as Pixels" gives identical good rendering in CS5.1 and poor rendering (gray pixels which should be pure white in this example) in CS6. This is repeatable with other artwork.
    Several weeks ago there was a complaint in this forum that Photoshop CS6 poorly renders vector artwork that is pixel-aligned in Illustrator. The Adobe response was that Photoshop is correct. Strange that CS5.1 can render pasted vector artwork perfectly and only CS6 makes a mess.

    What's the explanation for the following sequence?
    1. Paste as Smart Object, at moment after pasting and before clicking the commit icon (no transform was made) in options bar. The object is rendered pixel-perfect.
    2. After the commit. The object is poorly rendered with gray pixels which should be white.
    3. Press Cmd+T for transform mode. The object is rendered pixel-perfect again.
    4. After canceling transform mode, the object is poorly rendered again.

  • Video tutorial - Photoshop Smart Objects in poster design

    Hello Photoshop users!
    I had a bit of time spare last night and thought i'd make a quick video overview for a recent poster design I did.
    I created a quick 60's themed poster design for a battle of the bands event. The video is mainly about my workflow creating the warped and wavy text using Photoshop smart objects and Illustrator Vector smart objects.
    It was a very time-saving technique, so wanted to share in-case anyone might not have been using smart objects much yet.
    Check it out here:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsA7I4Y8tz8
    Hope someone finds it useful!
    Cheers!
    PS: Here is a still image of the final poster Design:

    Thanks for checking it out and for your comment! Had fun putting it together, next time I'll keep an eye on the length - this one went on for too long!

  • Paste from Illustrator to Photoshop, I cannot see the pasted object

    Sorry for this dumb question but I have tried everything I can think of before asking this question.  I have a single grouped object in Illustrator and I select the object and "Copy".  Then I open up a new photoshop project and choose "Paste".  Then I get four questions:
    Smart Object, Pixles, Path and Shape Layer to choose from.  No matter which one I choose I get a large box with an X.  I cannot see the object just the box that is x'd out.  This must mean something but I cannot figure it out.  When I place it dissapears.
    Please what is the secret to pasting objects into Windows Photoshop CS4?
    Thanks, Brent

    Magically, pasting started working.  Maybe, my computer was running out of memory or something.
    Thanks for your helpful answer.
    -Brent

    Hi Mylenium,
    The program just loads useless to use your words when I try to pass a file from Illustrator to Photoshop and when I click anywhere in Illustrator I get Program "Not responding" it doesn't crashes (stops) it stais opened but it doesn't do anything so I need to close it by force from task manager because I can't do anything with it.... Once I left it over night to save an important file and just in the morning I managed to do that so after a while it comes round but all the time there are different periouds of pending. Anyway this is not normal and I should be able to use the program in normal parameters with a powerful system. 
    I don't have any processor over load in the task manager I don't have anything unusual that indicates an over load of information, that's my problem. My guess is that I have a system incompatibility but I don't know where so that's why I asked for Adobe's help. Again I didn't had this problem using the same pack (CS5) with a less powerful system...
    If there are any creash logs pelase tell me where can I find them ?

  • Problem: Illustrator CS6 - print PostScript (fuzziness and blurring edges of vector objects)

    Hello,
    Earlier to print to the printer Develop Ineo+ 451 used the program Illustrator CS3. In connection with the transition to Windows 7 (64bit), was bought by a new version of Illustrator CS6 64bit. Unfortunately, when printing from Illustrator CS6 (price lists, business cards, labels) on a PostScript printer were detected problems, which were not in previous versions of Illustrator CS3.
    A comparison of the print quality of the two programs Adobe Illustrator CS3 and Adobe Illustrator CS6, made on a PostScript
    The software used on the computers:
    1st PC: Windows XP SP2 (32bit), Adobe Illustrator CS3 (32bit), the driver Generic 50C-2SeriesPS v3.0.16.0 (32bit).
    2nd PC: Windows 7 SP1 (64bit), Adobe Illustrator CS6 (64bit), the driver Generic 50C-2SeriesPS v3.0.16.0 (64bit).
    Printer: Develop Ineo+ 451 (PostScript).
    Drivers are available for download on the site www.chansi.ru
    link http://download6.konicaminolta.eu/develop/public/&&BDV&RU&sw&&&&&0&&&0&&0&&0
    (to choose Product Ineo + 452, for download tested version of the printer driver).
    Because after using the new version of the driver, the print quality was not satisfactory, then for the correctness of the comparison experiment, already used driver version 50C-2SeriesPS v3.0.16.0 has been selected.
    When you print from the program Adobe Illustrator CS6, a printer PostScript, you can see fuzziness and blurring edges of vector objects, small text becomes fuzzy and difficult to read. If you print from a program Adobe Illustrator CS3 (using the same version of the driver), there are not such problems and the print quality is quite satisfactory.
    The settings in the dialog box "Print" of Adobe Illustrator and the print settings in the dialog boxes of the PostScript printer driver of Develop Ineo+ 451, were chosen exactly the same for both versions of the programs Adobe Illustrator CS3 and Adobe Illustrator CS6 on both operating systems!!!

    P.s. Sorry for my English, use http://translate.google.ru/ and the help of friends

    What's the explanation for the following sequence?
    1. Paste as Smart Object, at moment after pasting and before clicking the commit icon (no transform was made) in options bar. The object is rendered pixel-perfect.
    2. After the commit. The object is poorly rendered with gray pixels which should be white.
    3. Press Cmd+T for transform mode. The object is rendered pixel-perfect again.
    4. After canceling transform mode, the object is poorly rendered again.

  • Illustrator and Photoshop CS2 freeze up when placing objects.

    When I try to place an object, in both CS2 Illustrator and Photoshop, the software freezes and must be restarted. Also when I click on the top of the window that a document is opened in, the document disappears from the screen. It is technically still open, but I can't retrieve it by scrolling. The window is literally off the screen, unable to be reached. I've been having problems with this software since I got it, is there a chance that there is a bug of sorts messing with me in the software?
    This is very annoying, I hope there is a solution for it. I end up losing 75% of my work because I have to tip-toe around the software so much.
    Thanks,
    Ryan D

    Bought a new Canon MG7540 printer to replace the old HP A618. When printing vector objects from Illustrator, they look like graphics from dandy (8 bits) ... no smooth, all cubes ... if do raster than print perfectly.  Who knows how to treat it? No well to rasterize vector before each printing. OS - MacOs 10.10.

    Have you read the User's Guide for that printer?  Odds are you will get reasonable prints.  However, it is a photographic printer.  That said, it should print excellent quality photographic files.  To get smooth lines in Illustrator, try Preferences > Use Anti-Aliased Artwork.  That will smoothen the output.  If, for some reason, that does not work, try Print > Save As PDF > open PDF in Reader and print from there.  Check the User's Guide for media sizes available for your particular printer.  Setup your artboard to the size page you want the image to print on.  Use View > Show Page Tiling ( to see where the page's printable area lies.  Align the page with the artboard using the Page tool.

  • How do I prevent the Darker Shade Box (color shift) around Vector Objects when Printing

    Sorry in advance for the novelette. I am absolutely mystified and frustrated and would love some help! I've been working on this problem for about 30 hours over the last 4 days to figure out what the heck is happening and cannot find an answer through various forms of research.
    Basically, when I print a JPEG, I am getting this area (a box) of darker shaded coloring around my heart and love text.  I've tested it a million different ways and am at a loss as to what the problem is ... is it an application problem, a color profile problem between my applications and printer, an improper way that I saved my file, etc.
    Here is a photo I took of the image printed out (so it is slightly skewed from camera distortion):
    The details:
    (1) I create graphic art and sell it online. I save all of my printable art as JPEG files because of my customer base (diy hobbyists that print on their home printers without much knowledge base nor graphic design software).
    (2) I use both Adobe Illustrator (AI) and Photoshop Elements 11 (PSE11) to design and save my artwork.
    (3) I insert JPEG images into Microsoft Word 2003 documents to "test print" since most of my customers use home printers to print. Since most people have this basic software, it is a good gauge of the kind of print out they might get using the same or similar software.
    (4) My PSE11 color profile setting is the default sRGB. I have test printed many times and I get the truest colors with this color profile.
    (5) My AI color settings are normally also an sRGB color mode, but on occasion, I use a CMYK color mode if I am creating a larger document that I know the customer will need to take to a professional printer to print out.
    (6) I do my home printing (for proofs) on an Epson Stylus Photo 1400 (which has the 6 color ink cartridges).
    (7) Until this printing problem occurred on this test print out, I always used the "photo enhance" option when I designate settings for my printer via the Microsoft Word documents.
    IMPORTANT: This is when I have the color shift?? or color rendering issues?? and it is the only time. If I use the regular ICM/ICC color profile of sRGB, the printing issue doesn't occur. Instead, I have a solid color background instead of this one with the strips of lighter color on the top and bottom.  However, I can't control how the customer prints, so I need to feel confident that whatever color profile setting they use, they will not run into this problem.  I even test printed the documents over at FedEx and the darker box/color shift did not occur.
    (8) The document in question only has 3 sets of objects: the heart, the solid colored rectangle colored background and the text.  All 3 objects are vectors, they are at 100% opacity and there are no "special effects" applied.
    (9) The image was entirely created in AI this time and exported as a maximum quality JPEG file, although you will see below that I tried many ways to create and save the file so that I didn't have the color band borders on top/bottom.
    (10) I regularly use AI for part of my art, then I drag it to my PSE11 open document and it becomes a Vector Object (it cannot by copying/pasting into a PSE11 document).  I also regularly export AI images as PNG files, then insert them into an open PSE11 document. This printing issue has not occurred until recently.  Here is an example of a very complex AI image I created, then inserted into PSE11 just to add the background (the Teddy Bear and books are AI vector objects) that were exported as PNG files then inserted into PSE11 to integrate with the background image - I test printed with Photo Enhance and had no printing issues:
    So, from the research I have done, it looks like it is a color rendering or color space issue with conflicting color profiles in the same document. I checked my color profile settings and both sRGB and CMYK were set to embed ICC color profiles.
    I tried changing AI settings to Preserve Numbers (ignore linked profiles) for CMYK, but that didn't work.
    I also checked and made sure that not only the document setup showed the sRGB color profile, but that all the objects within the document also were converted to sRGB as well for consistency. That didn't work.
    I tried converting the document to CMYK along with the vector objects. That didn't work.
    I tried saving the heart image as a PNG file alone, the "love" text as a PNG file alone, both the heart and text together as a PNG files alone. Once saved as PNG files, I inserted them into an open empty PSE11 document - as I normally do. I then added the background color I wanted. That didn't work - the print still showed the color changes.
    I tried dragging each vector object separately and even as a group and got the same color change issue when printing.
    I tried "expanding" and "outlining" the text before exporting as JPEG, before exporting as a PNG and before dragging as a vector object into PSE11. Expanding the text did not help the situation.
    I tried exporting as Adobe PDF, then opening in PSE11, then resaving as JPEG. That didn't work.
    I tried flattening transparency (even though there is no transparency in the AI file). That didn't work.
    I tried rasterizing the image. That didn't work.
    Thinking that the file might be corrupt, I started from scratch and redesigned the same heart and love text.  Unfortunately, I had the same problem as before.  At this point, my AI started becoming buggy and would not open new files. It happened repeatedly and I decided it was best to uninstall and reinstall AI (and maybe that would fix the problem).
    I created just the heart in AI, then inserted it into an open PSE11 document (both after exporting as PNG and also by dragging as Vector Object from AI). It seemed to work. I could both drag the vector into PSE11 from AI and export from AI as a PNG, then insert into open PSE11 document with a background color - and it printed a solid background.
    So, I thought that reinstalling and setting back to defaults worked. But, then I added the love text around the heart and tried exporting as JPEG files and the same problem continued to recur. Whether I dragged as a Vector object into PSE11 (the heart object and love text separately and also another time with the vector objects dragged as a group) or saved them as PNG files and inserted into PSE11 - I got the different shades of color on what should be a solid background. I even tried saving the PSE11 as a PSD file first, then resaving as JPEG and I tried saving as PNG and printing and this didn't help solve the problem.
    I really think it is some color conflict issue but I can't figure it out. I am definitely not very knowledgeable about color profiles and how to sync all my devices, however, as I mentioned, this was not an issue until recently (and I think??? I recall changing the CMYK setting from Preserve Numbers to embed color profile a month or so ago - however, it should have been solved when AI went back to its defaults upon reinstall).
    The reason I believe it is a color rendering/color space issue is because I could see the color output when I saved the JPEG with CMYK color profile versus sRGB color profile and the sRGB colors were much richer, not surprisingly. The top and bottom colors matched the sRGB printout and the middle darker box section matched the CMYK printout.
    I am sure it is something fundamental or simple and I am completely overlooking it.  I wish it were just a transparency issue, because people know how to fix or do workarounds for it. But, there are no vector objects with any transparency ...
    If I missed some detail, I apologize. Any help would be a dream come true at this point! lol
    Thank you!

    Okay, I got motivated to try again.  From doing a bit more research on troubleshooting AI printing problems, the Adobe article talks about print drivers. It was advised to uninstall and reinstall the print driver if the printing issue persists. So, I did. Unfortunately, I still had the same result after reinstalling and trying a test print! Ugh.
    So, as Jacob said upfront, I seem to have an overactive print driver that is trying too hard (and it is a non-postscript printer which I realize is part of the problem).
    There are so many variables in my situation as to how I create art and save/export art. I sometimes work solely in AI, sometimes solely in PSE and sometimes I use both programs to create. Consequently, I will:
    (1) export directly from AI as JPEG if I am not adding PSE11 artwork.
    (2) export directly from AI as PNG  if I plan on inserting that image into PSE11 to add to artwork I have created in PSE11.
    (3) drag vector objects as a Smart Objects directly from AI to PSE11 to add to artwork I am creating in PSE11 if I know I will playing with the vector object and resizing in PSE11.
    So, I did a test print using scenario 2, where I inserted the heart and love text PNG (AI created vector object) into an old PSE11 document. This old document already had a vector object from AI with a solid background and I knew it printed correctly. So, after inserting this new PNG from AI into this old document, it printed correctly using the photo enhance mode.
    However, I haven't had a chance to actually create new art in the older AI files (that I know print properly), resave as something else and try another test print (either by exporting as JPEG and printing in Word or by exporting as PNG file and inserting into PSE11 document, then saving as JPEG and printing in Word).
    After testing the different possibilities of ICM settings within my printer, I found that the JPEG images printed out with the truest colors and best quality if I simply selected "no color management" from the printer. Shocker, huh? lol
    MY SOLUTION: So, what I think I will simply do is add an instruction sheet with the printables I sell, explaining that the color profile setting should never be handled by the printer so make sure to turn off color management by printer (and if they feel they must use the printer for color management, make sure the setting is sRGB since I embed that color profile in my JPEG's).
    Edited to add: Since my issue was never about how I could print a successful image (I knew I could simply change the color profile settings), but rather about how to make sure that customers would get consistent and high quality print outputs of my digital images, this seems like the best approach.
    I don't think I will every really know exactly why I am now getting color shifts in the "photo enhance" mode when I did not have this problem a couple months ago - applying the same methods of creating artwork. I was concerned that I was saving/exporting using incorrect or mismatched color settings or something of that nature.  However, since I went through the process of making my color spaces the same for everything, and I still have issue, clearly that is not the culprit. The only thing I can do to solve the problem and it is a straightforward solution anyway -> is to educate the buyer on how to print successfully (don't use photo enhance! ha ha).
    Thanks again to everyone who chimed in and offered advice!

  • Pasting from Illustrator to Photoshop doesn't maintain aspect ratio

    I have vector artwork that is not aligned to a pixel grid in Illustrator. In CS5, I would be able to paste the vector object as a smart object into Photoshop file that was larger than the illustrator image and resize larger while holding shift to keep the ratio the same.
    However with Creative Cloud, if I have a square in Illustrator that happens to be 17.3px by 17.3, then paste to Photoshop in a file that has a larger canvas than the paste, I get uneven horizontal and vertical ratios (width = 18; height = 17). It seems to overestimate the width and make it appear fatter horizontally (which is the wrong aspect ratio). This is very noticeable when vector objects (like perfect circles and small icons) get scaled up in Photoshop.
    I have tried unchecking and checking "Snap Vector Tools and transforms to Pixel Grid" but this doesn't seem to fix it.
    The only way I've been able to get this ratio to be kept is to create a new document with the size automatically changed to clipboard dimensions (which are the desired 17x17). When you paste as smart object, it now uses the correct aspect ratio.

    When you paste an object into Photoshop take a look at your options bar to see if the Maintain Aspect Ratio button is checked. I'm guessing that it isn't which is why Illustrator objects are being pasted at different heights and widths. As you can see in the image below, a perfect circle from Illustrator is being placed in Photoshop at 100.05% and 99.44%. By checking the link button between the two percentages the numbers get locked to the same percentage so that the object is pasted in at the correct dimensions.

  • Is it possible to preserve the layer name when I copy and paste from Illustrator into Photoshop?

    Is it possible to preserve the layer name when I copy and paste from Illustrator into Photoshop?
    At the moment it just appears as "Vector Smart Object" in Photoshop and I have to take another step and change the layer name.
    Thank you!

    Not that I know. PS doesn't care for these kinds of things and uses its own naming system.
