Coverting a PS file to Ai or Corel

[Jan Storgaard]

quote Paul Seamer:

Hi Guys,

I have been sent a few template files in PS but need to use it in Corel. Had other templates sent in Ai and all was ok. Any help appreciated as really need to get this done by the weekend.

Thanks

Paul

i had this same problem just today and saved the file as an .eps file and then just imported in to Corel and to my amazement it opened. Not sure if it will work for you but worth a shot.

Hi Guys,

Sorry for the late reply. I have just tried uploading a file for you to look at but it won’t let me. Where do I have to upload it to?

Still didn’t work. 😕 Not sure what to try next. I do have Photoshop on another computer (never use it) if there is a way I can edit in there just to leave cut lines and export to corel?

Paul thats basically what I did first
opened in photshop and exported the paths to illustrator, but for some reason it did not work.
I will have another go

Hi Jan,

Yes that worked perfect thanks. What was it that you did? I have a few other templates to do that have a bit more shape to them. Are you able to explain what you did?

Hi Paul, i cheated. As i wrote earlier, no paths were present in the file, so i traced the image and corrected for distortion.

If you want, i can do those you have left. If they are similar to the one i’ve done
