the cs6 method
1) place psd file into illustrator
2) make an edit to the psd file in photoshop
3) i check illustartor and, there is a dialog box that askes if i want to update the modified content
in the 2019 versions of illustrator and photoshop,
step 3) does not happen...
there is no dialog box to update the changes to the file in illustator
neither are the changes automatically made to the psd file in illustrator
does anyone know why?
When placing the Photoshop file into Illustrator (using File>Place) make sure that in the dialog window that appears you have clicked on Options and chosen "Link" as shown in screen shot below. Note: you will have to have clicked on the file you're importing in this dialog window or the Link option will be grayed out.
When working with a linked file rather than an embedded one Photoshop art will update in the way that you are looking for. You can always check the Links Panel to see if an image is embedded rather then linked. If an image is linked there will be no icon to the right of the image name. If it is embedded there will be the icon shown in the below screen shot.
