Hi, Newbie here,

I've imported an original puppet into PS and made a slight change with the paintbrush but I am unsure how to export it back into CA .

I did export as .png but the character is no longer adjustable.

Any help is appreciated please

The easiest way to do this is to select the puppet in Character Animator (CH), right-click, select edit original and edit the file in Photoshop or Illustrator. Once you save the edited file and return to CH, the changes will automatically be applied to the puppet. No exporting/importing is necessary. If you've already edited the original file, save it as something else and then use the above steps to open up the original. Then you can edit it by copying the updated images into your layers. Save it and you're done!

Thanks, that worked. I guess Export doesn't contain all the files needed, but Save or Save As does.

Thanks again
