hi all

I'm trying to make some mockups, but when I import the artworks from illustrator to photoshop the images are all pixelated. I'm usin a mac and so far I have already tryied:

 

- copy/paste

- alias checked and unchecked

- imported in all formats (as pixel, smart object, path...)

- drag and place

- place embedded and linked

- exported in jpeg, png, pdf, svg

- the image is larger in photoshop

- the resolution is high enough

- copyed vectorized or rasterized images

 

does anyone have any other ideia I could try?

or know how to solve the problem?

thanks

Ana

hey guys, thanks for all your help! it was sorted!

it was indeed a metter of image size, they have  to have the same size in AI and PS, which dosent sound much ineligent for me but... worked

 

thanks for your time and patience guys

Mmm,

 

Can we start with some basics perhaps then:

You say it's a Mac:

Please give us details of the Mac: eg a screenshot of your "About This Mac"

 

What version of Illustrator and Photoshop are you using together ?

Please, can you post the simplist small illustrator file you can make that has the problem you describe?

 

Also, what @@mj said 🙂

 

 

Best regards, Euan.

Hi @Ana22138709ob67 ,

 

@EuanWilliamson 's share is a good resource.

 

You could also try placing the Illustrator file.

 

I'm sure you'd agree, it makes little sense for smart objects to pixelate.

 

I'm assuming that the content from Illustrator is vector information. Would that be correct?

 

Let us know how you go

 

Best
