Putting layers into photoshop

How do I put layers into photosop with out them merging? So I can edit them in photoshop. Even when I export it still merges some to most of the layers. Thanks

You cannot export layers as such from Illustrator to Photoshop.
However you can copy objects from Illustrator and paste them into Photoshop.
You can do this repeatedly, building Photoshop layers as you go.
The most important trick is to get the pasted objects to register together.
You do this by making little register rectangles, that correspond to the corners of your Photoshop canvas, at top left and bottom right.
Copy and paste these along with the other objects and delete them when you have finished.

  • How Can You Bring Illustrator Cs5 Layers into Photoshop Cs5?

    Hi everyone, Is it possible to bring Illustrator artwork into Photoshop so that the layers in Illustrator are layers in Photoshop, and so that all the content is arranged as it was in Illustrator.
    What I have been doing is bringing in a shape or a group of shapes into Photoshop by pasting them into a layer in PS then bringing in some more stuff from another layer in Illustrator and pasting that into another layer in PS but obviously it's a mission to line up the contents again so it is arranged like it was in Illustrator in the first place.
    Any help appreciated
    thanks Gareth

    No, it doesn't say how to do it there
    Well, then you probably haven't read carefully enough about what can be set up when exporting as .psd in Illustrator.
    When you export as .psd there are several export options about preserving layers. As mentioned, there are some restrictions.
    But tell me, what is unclear about the following quote?
    Write Layers
    Exports groups, compound shapes, nested layers, and slices as separate, editable Photoshop layers. Nested layers that are more than five levels deep are merged into a single Photoshop layer. Select Maximum Editability to export transparent objects (that is, objects with an opacity mask, a constant opacity less than 100%, or a blending mode other than Normal) as live, editable Photoshop layers.
    Preserve Text Editability
    Exports horizontal and vertical point type in layers (including nested layers up to five levels deep) to editable Photoshop type. If doing so compromises the appearance of the artwork, you can deselect this option to rasterize the text instead.
    Maximum Editability
    Writes each top-level sublayer to a separate Photoshop layer if doing so doesn’t compromise the appearance of the artwork. Top-level layers become Photoshop layer sets. Transparent objects remain editable transparent objects. Also creates a Photoshop shape layer for each compound shape in a top‑level layer if doing so doesn’t compromise the appearance of the artwork. To write compound shapes with solid strokes, change the Join type to Round. Whether or not you select this option, all layers over 5 levels deep are merged into a single Photoshop layer.

  • No option to Load Files into Layers into Photoshop

    In CS6 I don't have a menu option to load files into layers. Did they get rid if it?

    No, it still works and is also present in CC. I assume you have used menu Tools / Photoshop / Load in to layers for this?
    Is Photoshop present under menu Tools? if not check Bridge preferences Start Up scripts and see if a check mark is set in front of Photoshop
    Or reset Bridge preferences by holding down option key (Mac) or control key (Win) while restarting Bridge and choose reset prefs.

  • "Load files into Photoshop layers" fails to complete CS6

    Hi all,
    Hoping someone can help with the folling problem with Photoshop & Bridge CS6
    When in Bridge, after selecting 6 images (CR2) using the command TOOLS>LOAD FILES INTO PHOTOSHOP LAYERS the first file will load into Photoshop, Photoshop will then generate a second blank layer and then read the second file. At this point the "script" will stop. I am left with a document with 2 layers. The top layer has my first image, the bottom layer is empty.
    At this point when I quit Photoshop I am prompted to save this open document which appears to be the only open document. I choose not to save this as a file. I then get a dialogue box prompting to save another open document. Photoshop has loaded the second file to place as a layer but as the "script" has aborted I am left with an open, but invisible file.
    When I first loaded CS6 on Snow Leopard, it would demonstrate this behaviour every time I attempted to run this command from Bridge.
    I did a clean install on a blank HDD of OSX Lion. Installed CS6. The command worked without fail for about a month.
    Then I would get the command aborting occasionally. Restarting Photoshop would let me continue for a few hours before this aborted script problem would happen again.
    Over the last week it has become more frequent, to a point where this workflow is unusable.
    A restart of Photoshop may fix the problem for the next batch of images, only to fail again soon after, or fail on the first attempt after a relaunch of Photoshop.
    A reboot of my computer will allow my to load one or two sets of files before again failing to complete the command.
    I have tried the following:
    In Photoshop preferences:
    disabling the "Use graphics Processor"
    Increasing or decreasing the amount of RAM available to Photoshop
    Changing the cache levels or changing the cache tile size
    changing the scratch disk
    Trashing the Photoshop preferences file (Photoshop Settings.psp)
    In Bridge
    Purging the cache
    Increasing or decreasing the cache size
    Resetting Bridge preferences (holding Command on launch) and deleting all cache files.
    In general system
    Quitting extra programs (Safari, Thunderbird, iTunes)
    Sometimes this will seem to then allow Photoshop to load a full set of images, only to abort again after a few sets.
    Rebooting the computer - again will work for a few images sets before again failing.
    Now the fact that it worked fine for several weeks without presenting a problem would indicate that it is not a bug.
    The fact that is slowly started happening then became more frequent would indicate something changing slowly over time - a larger cache folder perhaps, although purging known Bridge cache folders has not filed the problem.
    Really at the end of my tether here. Even considering downgrading to CS5 - but don't want to have to use the older Adobe Camera Raw.
    System is as follows:
    Mac Pro 2 x 2.66 Quad Core
    24GB RAM
    ATI Radeon HD 4870 512
    OSX Lion 10.7.4
    I have seen a couple of others have posted having a the same problem, both with CS5 and CS6.
    Hoping someone has an answer.
    Thanks.

    Hi JJMack - I just re-read your post. For some reason I thought you were suggesting to make sure "Open documents in Tabs" was selected, it was. Now I realize you were suggesting to turn it off! As another attemp to solve this problem I did de-select it today. Seemed to work for a good while. I was getting very excited, then, on the last set of images I had to do it displayed the same problem. But, it did go for quite a while without failing, and when it did I was thrashing about trying to make another app active. When loading documents like this - with "Open documents in Tabs" de-selected, Photoshop wants to put the loading images as the front-most window, no matter what other apps (Bridge, email, web etc) I click on in the dock. I think it is related to the bug you described effecting the "load files to stack" command.
    Hopefully Adobe is looking at this - mind you, I have read reports of people having this problem in CS5! Looks like that was never resolved sadly.
    I'll keep testing and post back.
    I am looking to upgrade my video card to see if it's a video memory thing.
    What is very weird though is the fact that this problem didn't present itself until after several weeks of working with this command with no problem. No additional apps installed, nothing changed. Why would it start happening only after a while?
    Thanks again for your suggestion.

  • "Load files into Photoshop layers" completely missing from Bridge CS6

    No options to load files into Photoshop layers. Why not, and how can I put several files into one Photoshop layer?
    I'm using Bridge CS6 and Photoshop CC.

  • "Load Files into Photoshop Layers" persistent misalignment problem

    I'm having a persistent problem which technical support was unable to resolve after being on the phone with them for 1.5 hrs.
    I'm working in Bridge CC in ACR, synchronizing all parameters incl. crop, transform, exposure, etc. of a bracketed group of images shot from a solid tripod. When using the Tools / Photoshop / Load files into Photoshop layers command, the images open in photoshop in a layered file, BUT some are knocked out of alignment. Actually they have been cropped slightly smaller than the original file, always by the same number of pixels. Sometimes all layers are affected, sometimes not. Photoshop and Bridge are both up to date, as is the camera raw plugin. I’m on a new iMac i7 4-core, OSX 10.9.4. All software was newly downloaded from Adobe less than two weeks ago. I have reset preferences, even uninstalled and reinstalled Bridge CC 6.1.0.115 to no avail. Any suggestions?

  • Why aren't all of my layers exporting into Photoshop?

    I have a layered .ai document that I need to export into Photoshop. Photoshop is taking about 6 of the layers and putting them on one layer. All of the other items remain on their separate layers. Any ideas? I'm in a time crunch and need to get these files to our programmer.
    thanks!

    As Larry said - lose the transparency and blending modes. This also extends to clipping masks and other "render for output" centric features that affect the visual appearance, while themselve just being empty paths...

    I am so sorry for you and your situation. Were you using iCloud photostream?
    Otherwise I do not see any chance for your precious photos.
    Congrats anyway on the little darling!

  • I have Photoshop CS5, and use windows XP.  I cannot open Bridge from photoshop, whichI have done for years. When I am in Photoshop,when it opens, I always click on the bridge icon at the bottom of the screen, and it puts me into bridge. This is not happen

    I have Photoshop CS5, and use windows XP. I cannot open bridge from photoshop, which I have done for years.  When I am in Photoshop, when it opens, I always click on the bridge icon at the bottom of the screen and it puts me into bridge. This is not happening, the small wheel at the bottom of the screen just keeps spinning. Its like its stuck or caught in a loop. I can't get into bridge. I tried shutting down and starting up again but  the problem remains. Looking for help.  Dan

    Thanks for your response, I was able to open bridge from File-Browse in Bridge.  This worked, but was not able to go back to the way I always opened Bridge.  At least I could get to Bridge and go into Camera Raw. I never tried to open Bridge from the Start menu.  The odd thing about this is, it has happened before, and to get it "unstuck" and working again, I would shut down and restart again in a few minutes, and things would go back to normal.  This time it did not go back to normal after several attempts.  I shut down for about 3-4 hours, restarted, and it seems to be back to normal again. I am not sure if it's a problem that is getting worse each time it happens.       And yes I am using Mini Bridge in photoshop CS5.  Thank you for your help.  Dan

  • Adobe Bridge CC 'Tools Load Files Into Photoshop Layers' missing from menu.

    Hi,
    After updated to bridge CC the 'Tools > Load Files Into Photoshop Layers' has simply disappeared from the menu! Is there a plug in that I'm missing or is this something similar to how the Output module works, where you have to install the files manually?
    Thank You

    I uninstalled all Adobe products -> reboot -> reinstall; which didn't work.
    So I had to uninstall all Adobe products again, then use the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner, reboot & reinstall everything again; then it finally worked.
    This seems to be a regular thing since the introduction of Adobe CC, almost every new update or new versions breaks functionality & requires a complete uninstall -> reinstall process.

  • Adobe CC batch into photoshop layers and photoshop bach menu missing

    So I work with many images a day. RAW jpg formats... On every adobe product in the past i could open a folder in bridge with many images select all of them hit tools batch open in adobe photoshop or even batch open in one photoshop document as layers... Now this option is missing and I need it back... I've uninstalled a few times no success. I need to be able to open multiple images at once so I can batch edit..
    My workflow below
    Open a folder with 40 images in it.    RAWs or JPG.
    Select all images> Tools batch open with photoshop
    Photoshop opens ask me If I would like to apply actions I've created... I select the one action I want to shappen my image and they load up into photoshop..
    This is my simple workflow that no longer works cause it will not give me option to batch open in photoshop
    I also can't open mutiple image into photoshop layers its just like gone?

    I uninstalled all Adobe products -> reboot -> reinstall; which didn't work.

  • Why while in Bridge Load Files into photoshop Layers does not work?

    In Bridge, Tools>Photoshop>Load Files into Photoshop Layers does not work.  I have two images selected and when I execute that comman in Bridge nothing happens.  I exited and restarted both PS and Bridge and still nothing.  I am working in Windows 7 and Photoshop cs6.

    No I tried File/scripts/load file into stack and still did not work.
    There was an update to bridge and now it works.  Thanks so much.
