Click Setup.

6

In the Photoshop Export dialog box (Windows) or the PSD Export dialog box (Macintosh), select Include Layers and click OK.

Click Save (Windows) or Export (Macintosh) to export the file.

FreeHand rasterizes each layer and exports it to individual layers within Photoshop.

For Objects, select Include Invisible Layers and click OK.

Exporting an object to Photoshop 4 or higher exports the object in pixels.
