Is there a way to get Photoshop to open a SVG File? I know I can open it in Illustrator save as a EPS file then open into photoshop but I would prefer a quicker method than that work around.

I found a Plug-In that will do this but it cost 99 for a year license and I do not use SVGs enough to justify the cost. Are there any free plug-ins?

You can open the file in illustrator, copy then paste in photoshop and choose your options.

That svg plugin probably rasterizes the svg files anyway, so you'll probably get better results by either editing the file in illustrator or

doing the above.

I believe that PS should add SVG support. At least for opening the file if anything because while I have illustrator because it came with the suite I purchased some purchase PS as a standalone product thus you must convert the file using a file convertor.

Thanks for the feedback and info

If one doesn't have illustrator there is always Inkscape which uses svg as it's native format and is open source and free.
