Adobe PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS Manual page 65

Are created using applications
Generic PDF files
other than Photoshop Elements, such as Adobe
Acrobat and Adobe Illustrator, and can contain
multiple pages and images. When you open a
Generic PDF file, Photoshop Elements rasterizes
the image.
You can also bring PDF data into Photoshop
Elements using the Place command, the Paste
command, and the drag-and-drop feature.
(See "Placing files" on page 60, "Using drag and
drop to copy between applications" on page 112,
and "Using the Clipboard to copy between appli-
cations" on page 112.)
To open a PDF file:
1 Choose File > Open.
2 Select the name of the file, and click Open.
You can change which types of files show by
selecting an option from the Files of Type
(Windows) or Show (Mac OS) pop-up menu.
3 If you are opening a Generic PDF file, do the
following:
• If the file contains multiple pages, select the page
you want to open, and click OK.
• Indicate the desired dimensions, resolution,
and mode. If the file has an embedded ICC profile,
you can choose the profile from the mode
pop-up menu.
• Select Constrain Proportions to maintain the
same height-to-width ratio.
• Select Anti-aliased to minimize the jagged
appearance of the artwork's edges as it is
rasterized.
• Click OK.

Opening PostScript artwork
Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) can represent both
®
vector and bitmap data and is supported by
virtually all graphic, illustration, and page-layout
programs. Adobe applications that produce
PostScript artwork include Adobe Illustrator,
Adobe Dimensions, and Adobe Streamline.
When you open an EPS file containing vector art,
it is rasterized—the mathematically defined lines
and curves of the vector artwork are converted
into the pixels or bits of a bitmap image.
You can also bring PostScript artwork into
Photoshop Elements using the Place command,
the Paste command, and the drag-and-drop
feature. (See "Placing files" on page 60, "Using
drag and drop to copy between applications" on
page 112, and "Using the Clipboard to copy
between applications" on page 112.)
