GRAPHICS TUTORIAL # D
Importing Various Graphic Formats into an Adobe Illustrator File CP-208 Plan Preparation Studio - Prof. Elizabeth Macdonald 2 In this tutorial we will learn importing and placing graphics created in various formats to Adobe Illustrator. Placing artwork from other applications, such as Adobe Photoshop, into Adobe Illustrator is easily performed using various Adobe Illustrator commands. Illustrator can import many common graphic file formats, including EPS, CorelDRAW TM , FreeHand TM , GIF, JPEG, PICT, TIFF, DXF/ DWG, Adobe PDF, and PostScript ® Level 3. In addition to these common graphic file formats, Illustrator can use artwork in any file format supported by an Adobe Photoshop-compatible file format plug-in filter, including Kodak Photo CD TM , PNG, and TGA. You can use the Clipboard and drag-and-drop importing to bring images into Illustrator. However, two commands are most commonly used when importing artwork created by other applications: The Open command opens a file created by another application as a new Adobe Illustrator file. The Place command places an image in an existing Illustrator file in one of two ways. However, the “ Place” command is used for importing the flies directly into the existing Adobe Illustrator file you are working. Note: Select OR Create a layer (as explained in TUTORIAL # D1) before inserting the artwork into Adobe Illustrator. This makes working with multiple artworks earlier. STEP - I. Place and Link Files Created by Other Applications:
- Open the file into which you want to place the artwork.
- In the “File” menu select “Place..”
- A “Place” dialog box will appear.
- Locate and select the file you want to place. If you don’t see the name of the file you want, the file has been saved in a format that Illustrator cannot read. “Place” dialog box
