How to open vector AI or EPS files in Photoshop

 

We received a lot of e-mails about how you can open AI and EPS files with Photoshop and how to use them without losing the quality of the vector in the process.


Whether you are using a PC or a Mac, the process is similar, the only difference is you will use “Cmd” instead of “CTRL”. Thus said, let’s get straight to the point!

Unlike a regular raster file, the .ai and the .eps files will prompt you to input a file size before it will be opened. This step is very important, because Photoshop will open the file as raster, not as vector or as a Smart Object (we’ll discuss this type of file a bit later).
I recommend you input a fairly large size, then you can scale it down without losing quality.

Now we have the full vector file converted to raster (don’t worry, you original vector file is intact!) and able to use it as raster.
But now we have an entire pack and we want just a shape.

Some vectors may have a background, because some vectors use transparency that requires a background (Multiply for example, inherits a darker tone of the flat color below it). What do we do then? Don’t panic, I’m here to explain that too.
In the original file, grab the Magic Wand Tool (W), select the background color and hit Delete. Hit CTRL+D to deselect.
