I agree with Chuck that smart objects are a good way to plan and execute your project. By first designing and creating the look of your pieces -- all the ones that will have the same style, color, font, look etc, you can then save it as a smart object and use it in your files. But just remember that whatever you do in a smart object will happen across ALL of them. So, if you have a design element that you want to be the same create it as a smart object for the very fact that you can change one and all will change. But, you can also use your folders to hold all your images for each asset. By placing all of the parts to one "reusable" piece in one folder -- you have a "container" similar to what you have in Animate. Then just duplicate and rename the folder to create a similar asset. It works a little differently in Photoshop but you can get similar functionality. Let us know how it goes! Michelle ... View more

Hi! There are several ways you can make a selection, but I want to say up front that probably the best selection will be one that you finish by painting with your masking tools. You can start several ways: 1. Use the Quick Selection tool and with a small brush, click on an area that you want to select. Once you have e the color you want selected, go the Select menu and choose Similar and you should end up with something like this (Double click on the image to make it larger): You can then save your selection using Select>Save Selection and name it. You can also use Quick Mask mode to refine your selection. The second way you can make a selection is using Color Range (Select>Color Range). In Color Range, use the Eyedropper tool to select one of the colors and then adjust the Fuzziness slider down to a lower number to limit the color selection to just the area you want. See below: The larger the fuzziness, the more you will select 00 notice here only the center areas are selected. If you select one of the medium or outer colors you will create a larger selected area. You might also try using LAB mode to separate the Lightness and Darkness values from the color and see if that might help refine your selection. As I am sure you already know--tis is not an easy image to make a selection of-- the edges are very rough. But if you start with (for instance) the Quick Selection tool, you can get a really good start on creating different separated areas, but as I said above, you probably want to do some hand painting and masking. Let us know if these help, or if you have any other questions. Michele ... View more

Hi Gerry, You can open both in Photoshop and change them to whatever format you want. Just know that you will have to rasterize an .eps file to bring it into PS by choosing a size and pixel dimension. Then it will be a raster image just like any other photograph. What you plan on doing with the images once you get them into PS will determine how you process an eps file. Let us know how we can help! Michelle ... View more
