view pane and then select the saved setting in the pop-up menu.

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 files 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 files 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.
