To use a saved setting, select the Show Preview option above a pre- view pane and then select the saved setting in the pop-up menu. To delete a saved setting, select the setting in the pop-up menu, and then choose Delete Setting. Canvas will ask you to confirm that you want to delete the setting. Importing Photoshop files When you open or acquire a Photoshop file that contains layers or paths, the Photoshop Import dialog box appears. Select options to specify what to import and then click OK. Layers     You can select from three options. •   “Load into separate Canvas objects” imports the file’s lay- ers as separate objects and stacks them in the document on the current layer. •   “Load into separate Canvas layers” places each Photoshop layer on a new Canvas layer. With either option, layers that have transparency are imported with visibility masks. Canvas creates an alpha channel and a channel mask for a Photoshop layer mask. Canvas also imports alpha channels. •   “Load Merged Result” imports the file’s composite image (if it contains one) rather than its layers. Layer masks, alpha channels, and transparency effects are not imported. The imported paint object has an opaque background. Note: If the option “Include composited image with layered files” is not selected when a file is saved from Photoshop, Canvas will import a black image containing a message that the layered file was not saved with a composite image. Paths    When the Photoshop file contains paths, you can choose from three import options. •   “Load All” will import a clipping path and other paths as Canvas vector objects. •   “Load only clipping path” is available if the file contains a clipping path. Select this option to import the clipping path (but not other paths) as a Canvas clipping path object. The image will be clipped by the path in Canvas. •   “Ignore paths” will import the file without any paths.
