Process: In Photoshop, I am using the wand tool and select subject to isolate an image that is on a background.

Problem: When I copy/paste the image I just isolated with the wand back in to Ps, it comes in image only with no background. The way I want it.

But.....When I copy and paste it in to Ai, it brings a large white background with it. I need it in Ai.

Summary: The wand and selection process is working fine so long as I am cop/pasting in Ps. It is not working when I paste into Ai as it is bringing a background with it.

Can anyone think of why this may be happening?

Instead of Copy/Paste, save the Photoshop file and in Illustrator use File > Place.

Yup. That did it.

It surly would be nice if the copy/paste worked as it works when I send it to my office mate. But, this will have to do I suppose unless you can think of some other magic.

Thank you.
