Place a file in Photoshop
- Open the Photoshop document that is
the destination for the placed art or photo.
- Do one of the following:
(Photoshop) Choose File > Place,
select the file you want to place, and click Place.
(Bridge) Select the file and choose File >
Place > In Photoshop.
- If you are placing a PDF or Illustrator (AI) file, the
Place PDF dialog box appears. Select the page or image you want
to place, set the Crop options, and click OK. For more
information on the Place PDF dialog box options, see Place PDF or Illustrator files in Photoshop.
The
placed artwork appears inside a bounding box at the center of the Photoshop
image. The artwork maintains its original aspect ratio; however,
if the artwork is larger than the Photoshop image, it is resized
to fit. Note: In addition to the Place command, you can also add
Adobe Illustrator art as a Smart Object by copying and pasting the
art from Illustrator into a Photoshop document. See Paste Adobe Illustrator art into Photoshop.
- (Optional) Reposition or transform the placed artwork
by doing any of the following:
To reposition the placed art, position
the pointer inside the bounding box of the placed artwork and drag,
or in the options bar, enter a value for X to specify the distance
between the center point of the placed artwork and the left edge of
the image. Enter a value for Y to specify the distance between the
center point of the placed artwork and the top edge of the image.
To scale the placed art, drag one of the corner
handles of the bounding box or enter values for W and H in the options
bar. When dragging, hold down the Shift key to constrain proportions.
To rotate the placed art, position the pointer outside
the bounding box (the pointer turns into a curved arrow) and drag,
or enter a value (in degrees) for the Rotation option  in
the options bar. The artwork rotates around the center point of
the placed artwork. To adjust the center point, drag it to a new location,
or click a handle on the Center Point icon  in
the options bar.
To skew the placed art, hold down Ctrl (Windows)
or Command (Mac OS) and drag a side handle of the bounding
box.
To warp the placed art, choose Edit >
Transform > Warp and then choose a warp from the Warp
Style pop‑up menu in the options bar.
If you choose Custom
from the Warp Style pop‑up menu, drag the control points, a segment
of the bounding box or mesh, or an area within the mesh to warp
the image.
- If you’re placing a PDF, EPS, or Adobe Illustrator file,
set the Anti-alias option in the options bar as desired. To blend
edge pixels during rasterization, select the Anti-alias option.
To produce a hard-edged transition between edge pixels during rasterization,
deselect the Anti-alias option.
- Do one of the following:
Click Commit  in
the options bar or press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS)
to commit the placed artwork to a new layer.
Click Cancel  in
the options bar, or press Esc to cancel the placement.
