agentex Obsessive-Compulsive (I) Inmate From: Insane since: Feb 2004	posted 02-18-2004 06:15 Anyone wouldn't happen to know how to import vectors as shapes or masks into PS 8? There used to be a dialog in 7 asking you what you wanted to paste but now it defaults to raster and it won't let me paste into alpha or a path layer. This is really important deadline _soon_ Thx

You should now be able to copy and paste your artwork into Photoshop with the old dialog three choice dialog. AICB will non however support transparency effects from Illustrator. I haven't found a way using "Place", they must have removed the feature or made it some weird key stroke. Pity, you would think I would at least be an option in illustrator to save a .csh shape file. But so far haven't found a way. Oh, welcome to the asylum by the way. J. Stuart J. [This message has been edited by jstuartj (edited 02-18-2004).]
agentex Obsessive-Compulsive (I) Inmate From: Insane since: Feb 2004	posted 02-18-2004 08:44 Thank you very much, I am in the process of finishing up the vectors tonight and will then drop them into PS with your technique. I'll post my results with the precise method you've reccomended. You got into some stuff I wasn't aware of and I can't wait to dig that deep. Much respect bTW: I've known about the asylum for awhile now, it's helped me before being able to search without being a member and grabbing great tidbits of info. Nice response on the infrared b&w, very informative : )
