Question

Importing PSD flattens all layers

When I import (File | Place) a PSD with layers, Illustrator flattens them all to one layer. In my searching I've seen an "Import Options" checkbox discussed. However, on my 'Place" dialog, there's a "Link" checkbox, but no "Import Options" checkbox.

 

I do not want to edit my PSD layers, just view them for reference.

 

I'm running Illustrator 28.0 and Photoshop 25.0..0 on Win10.

 

Thanks!

When you embed the file, you should get the options.

Except that I don't. I really wish I did!

And there are layers in the file?

Are you using layer blending modes in the PSD?

Does rebooting the system help?
