I'm trying to edit a design i made in illustrator on photoshop so that i can add a few more touches to it. I've tried exporting the illustrator file as a .psd file but it still doesn't have the layers when i open on photoshop. Is it even possible to do this?

 

im using a iMac desktop computer (late 2015) , photopshop 2021, Illustrator 2021 as well

    Please provide information, ideally the ai-file itself. 

    Are Blend Modes and Effects employed in the Illustrator Layers? 

    Do you need the ai-Layers as Photoshop Layers?

      Yes the .ai files themselves, i want to have all of the layers i have on Illustrator on Photoshop so that i can edit them fully. There are things i can do on Photoshop that i cant do on Illustrator so how do i. convert .ai file layers to .psd photoshop layers?

       

      So yes i need the .ai layers as photoshop layers

      Can you show screen shots of:

      • the Photoshop Export Options dialog when you export from Illustrator
      • the Layers panel in Illustrator

      You didn't say your expertise level, but only top level layers will be exported as separate layers into Photoshop.
