I created an image/object in PSCC 2017. It was on a transparent background. I copied it and pasted it into Illustrator CC 2017. Now it has a white background. How do I get my transparency back in Illustrator?

Thanks.

Don't flatten Photoshop file, save layered. Then, within Adobe Illustrator, Select "File", then "Place". Navigate to your saved Photoshop file and select it.

Hi coldwetnozz

If the image is placed in illustrator it should have transparency copied over please make sure what is the format, it should work fine if it is .png

Okay it does work if I do it that way. Copy and save png, then "Place" into Illustrator. But it seems like a lot of trouble. Easier to just keep the whole art work in PS. And, yes, I was trying to transfer it as part of a layer. Seems you can't do that.

Thanks to all!

Don't use Copy/Paste. Use PLACE.
