Copy between applications
You can use the Cut, Copy, or Paste
commands to copy selections from Photoshop and paste them into other
applications, or to paste artwork from other applications into Photoshop.
The cut or copied selection remains on the clipboard until you cut
or copy another selection. You can also copy artwork between Photoshop
and Illustrator by dragging and dropping.
In some cases, the
contents of the clipboard are converted to a raster image. Photoshop
prompts you when vector artwork will be rasterized.
Note: The image is rasterized at the resolution of the
file into which you paste it. Vector Smart Objects are not rasterized.
Paste PostScript artwork from another application- In
the supporting application, select your artwork, and choose Edit >
Copy.
- Select the image into which you’ll paste the selection.
- Choose Edit > Paste.
- In the Paste dialog box, select from the following Paste
As options:
- Smart Object
- Places the artwork in a new layer as a smart object.
- Pixels
- Rasterizes the artwork as it is pasted.
Rasterizing converts mathematically-defined vector artwork to pixels.
- Paths
- Pastes the copy as a path in the Paths panel. When copying
type from Illustrator, you must first convert it to outlines.
- Shape Layer
- Creates a new shape layer that uses the path as a vector
mask.
Note: When copying artwork from Adobe Illustrator,
the default clipboard preferences in Illustrator may prevent the
Paste dialog box from appearing in Photoshop. Select AICB in the
File Handling and Clipboard area of the Preferences dialog box in Illustrator
if you want the Paste options to appear when you paste the artwork
into Photoshop.
- If you chose Paste As Pixels in the previous step, you
can choose Anti-aliased in the options bar to make a smooth transition
between the edges of the selection and the surrounding pixels.
Note: You can use the Matting commands if you
have already merged data and are trying to reextract the rasterized
data.
Save clipboard contents when you quit Photoshop- Do one of the following:
- Select Export Clipboard
to save any Photoshop contents to the clipboard when you quit Photoshop.
Copy artwork by dragging and dropping Do one of the following:Drag one or more Illustrator vector objects
into an open image in Photoshop. This creates a vector Smart Object
layer in the image. Choose Layer > Smart Objects >
Edit Content to reopen the content in Illustrator for editing.
To copy the vector object as a path in Photoshop,
hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) as you drag
from Illustrator.
To copy the contents of the currently selected layer
in Photoshop to Illustrator, use the Move tool to drag the content
from the Photoshop window into an open Illustrator document.
