When you use the Convert Photoshop Layers to Objects option, Illustrator uses an 
automatic selective merging (of layers) feature to maintain appearance. If you don’t 
require access to layers and objects, you can choose the Flatten Photoshop Layers to a 
Single Image option instead. 
Select the Flatten Photoshop Layers to a Single Image option to flatten all Photoshop 
layers into a single image, and place the image on Layer 1 in the Illustrator file. The 
converted file retains clipping paths but no individual objects. Transparency is retained 
as part of the main image, but is not editable. 
If you want to import image maps or slices that are included in the Photoshop file, 
select Import Image Maps or Import Slices.
Click OK.
Placing files
The Place command places files from other applications into Illustrator. Files can be 
embedded, or included in, the Illustrator file, or they can be linked to the Illustrator file. 
Linked files remain independent of the Illustrator file, resulting in a smaller Illustrator file. 
Depending on a preference you set for updating links, the linked image in the Illustrator 
file may change when the artwork in the linked file changes.
By default, the Link option is selected in the Place dialog box. If you deselect the Link 
option, the artwork is embedded in the Adobe Illustrator file, resulting in a larger 
Illustrator file. The Links palette lets you identify, select, monitor, and update objects in the 
Illustrator artwork that are linked to external files. (See 
.)
Placed bitmap images can be modified using transformation tools and image filters; 
placed vector artwork is converted to Illustrator paths (embedded images only).
If you place a Photoshop file and deselect the Link option, the Photoshop Import dialog 
box appears. For information on options in the Photoshop Import dialog box, 
see 
Note: Do not place EPS files containing mesh objects or transparency objects if it was 
created in an application other than Illustrator. Instead, open the EPS file, copy all objects 
and then paste in Illustrator.
To place and link files created by other applications:
Open the Illustrator file into which you want to place the artwork.
Choose File > Place.
Locate and select the file you want to place. If you don’t see the name of the file you 
want, the file has been saved in a format that Illustrator cannot read. 
Do one of the following: 
To create a link between the artwork file and the Illustrator file, make sure the Link 
option is selected in the Place dialog box. 
To embed the artwork in the file deselect the Link option in the Place dialog box. 
To create a template layer using the file, select Template.
To replace an existing placed file, select Replace. (This option is only available if you 
select the file to be replaced before choosing File > Place.)
