how do I edit in Photoshop from Illustrator

[mark pilkinton]

I am running CS4 Master Suite on Mac 10.5.8 and in other CS versions of Illustrator, I could select the image I just placed and click "Edit Original" and the image would then open in Photoshop. Now the "Edit Original" is grayed out. I am sure it's a simple setting I am overlooking and I tried to search the forum, but get an admin error when trying to search the forum no matter what info I add in the search field. It seems the forum is all Adobe what's to give us as far as tech support....and now it is giving errors!

I had a similar problem with an embedded image I got from a client — the image was not on my machine and hence unavailable for re-linking.

To my (happy) surprise Illustrator CC has a feature to UNEMBED the image (don't know if this is also there in previous versions).

Double click on the image and in the horizontal bar you will see the UNEMBED image button (screen shot attached).

Clicking on the button gives you the option of saving the image to disk as a PSD/other file.
