Need Help going to Illustrator

Does anyone know how I can export a Photoshop Document to where I can open it with layers intact in Illustrator.

Okay, what version of photoshop/illustrator?

Are you talking adjustment layers, too?

I know you can go Illus to PS, but I'm not too sure if it will go the other way.
I'll try a few things and get back to you.

In CS1 there is File>Jump to> Illustrator(then upon prompt choose> convert PS layers to objects and make text editable where possible.) , it holds some layers. Not sure if CS2 has it... but I believe if the layer has any kind of filter or effect applied it will flatten/rasterize when taken to Illi. None of the other formats work, or at least I can't make them. Good Luck and let us know if you figure something out.

I tried that to but the designer has effects on almost every layer so they all get rasterized.

That sucks, I really don't think there is a way absent of a special plugin, or something. I have been trying for 20 minutes now, and can't get an acceptable outcome, sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I don't know much about it (haven't had time to play with it yet), but do you think that this would be something the "Bridge" might be able to handle?

Just curious,
David

rasterize that Mutha' and drop it into Illy > chances are (without seeing the design and I could be wrong) the designer will never know with the final product. I've been guilty of doing this in the past as a work around, and everyone loved the finished piece. 8)

Why do you want to do this in the first place? By knowing the reason why, we might beable to find a different solution.
