Re: Photoshop vs. Illustrator
Hi Mjag,
To get Illustrator paths into Photoshop, select the paths you want to copy in Illustrator with the path selection tool and copy them to your pasteboard using the Copy command. Then, in Photoshop, use the paste command and you should get a dialogue box asking if you want to paste as paths or pixels. Choose paths and your Illustrator paths will then be pasted as a new Photoshop path. These can then be selected individually and made into masks or clipping paths in your individual Photoshop layers. Double click on the new path window in the Paths pallette to be able to name it and change it from being a Work Path, then it won't disappear if you create a subsequent new Work Path.
If you are trying this and the paths are coming in like a placed image, rather than paths, there is an option in Illustrator that may need changing. In Preferences, go to the File Handling and Clipboard section. In Clipboard on Quit section, enable Copy as PDF, enable AICB and Preserve Paths. This should give you paths when you paste into Photoshop.
I hope this helps.
Grubby.
