Opening and placing artwork
You can use the Clipboard and drag-and-drop importing to bring images into Illustrator. (See Moving, copying, and deleting objects.) However, two commands are most commonly used when importing artwork created by other applications: Your document's color mode (CMYK or RGB) does not change when you place a file that uses a different color mode. Colors in the imported file convert to the document's color mode when you export or print the file. Note: Adobe Illustrator does not color-manage imported grayscale images. If you import a grayscale image that had a color profile in Adobe Photoshop, for example, the profile is discarded when the image is imported into Illustrator. Related Subtopics: |
