60 CHAPTER 2 Getting Images into Photoshop Elements Placing files You can use the File > Place command to place artwork into a new layer in an image. In Photoshop Elements, you can place PDF, Adobe Illustrator, and EPS files. When you place a PDF, Adobe Illustrator, or EPS file, it is rasterized; you cannot edit text or vector data in placed artwork. Keep in mind that artwork is rasterized at the resolution of the file into which it is placed. To place a PDF, Adobe Illustrator, or EPS file: 1 Open the Photoshop Elements image into which you want to place the artwork. 2 Choose File > Place, select the file you want to place, and click Place. 3 If you are placing a PDF file that contains multiple pages, select the page you want to place in the provided dialog box, and click OK. The placed artwork appears inside a bounding box at the center of the Photoshop Elements image. The artwork maintains its original aspect ratio; however, if the artwork is larger than the Photoshop Elements image, it is resized to fit. 4 If desired, reposition the placed artwork by doing one or more of the following: • Position the pointer inside the bounding box of the placed artwork, and drag. • In the options bar, enter a value for X to specify the distance between the center point of the placed artwork and the left edge of the image. Enter a value for Y to specify the distance between the center point of the placed artwork and the top edge of the image. 5 If desired, scale the placed artwork by doing one or more of the following: • Drag one of the handles at the corners or sides of the bounding box. Hold down Shift as you drag a corner handle to constrain the proportions. • In the options bar, enter values for W and H to specify the width and height of the artwork. By default, these options represent scale as a percentage; however, you can enter another unit of measurement (in, cm, or px). To constrain the proportions of the artwork, click the Constrain Proportions icon ( ); the option is on when the icon has a white background. 6 If desired, rotate the placed artwork by doing one or more of the following: • Position the pointer outside the bounding box of the placed artwork (the pointer turns into a curved arrow), and drag. • In the options bar, enter a value (in degrees) for the Rotation option ( ).

CHAPTER 2

Getting Images into Photoshop Elements

Placing ﬁles

You can use the File > Place command to place

artwork into a new layer in an image. In

Photoshop Elements, you can place PDF, Adobe

Illustrator, and EPS ﬁles.

When you place a PDF, Adobe Illustrator, or EPS

ﬁle, it is rasterized; you cannot edit text or vector

data in placed artwork. Keep in mind that artwork

is rasterized at the resolution of the ﬁle into which

it is placed.

To place a PDF, Adobe Illustrator, or EPS ﬁle:

Open the Photoshop Elements image into

which you want to place the artwork.

Choose File > Place, select the ﬁle you want to

place, and click Place.

If you are placing a PDF ﬁle that contains

multiple pages, select the page you want to place in

the provided dialog box, and click OK.

The placed artwork appears inside a bounding box

at the center of the Photoshop Elements image.

The artwork maintains its original aspect ratio;

however, if the artwork is larger than the

Photoshop Elements image, it is resized to ﬁt.

If desired, reposition the placed artwork by

doing one or more of the following:

•

Position the pointer inside the bounding box of

the placed artwork, and drag.

•

In the options bar, enter a value for X to specify

the distance between the center point of the placed

artwork and the left edge of the image. Enter a

value for Y to specify the distance between the

center point of the placed artwork and the top

edge of the image.

If desired, scale the placed artwork by doing one

or more of the following:

•

Drag one of the handles at the corners or sides of

the bounding box. Hold down Shift as you drag a

corner handle to constrain the proportions.

•

In the options bar, enter values for W and H to

specify the width and height of the artwork.

By default, these options represent scale as a

percentage; however, you can enter another unit of

measurement (in, cm, or px). To constrain the

proportions of the artwork, click the Constrain

Proportions icon (

); the option is on when the

icon has a white background.

If desired, rotate the placed artwork by doing

one or more of the following:

•

Position the pointer outside the bounding box of

the placed artwork (the pointer turns into a curved

arrow), and drag.

•

In the options bar, enter a value (in degrees) for

the Rotation option (
