5 Open the path in Adobe Illustrator as a new file.
You can now manipulate the path or use the path
to align Adobe Illustrator objects.
Note that the crop marks in Adobe Illustrator
reflect the dimensions of the Adobe Photoshop
image. The position of the path within the Adobe
Photoshop image is maintained, provided you
don't change the crop marks or move the path.

Object linking and embedding (OLE)
(Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 only)
Photoshop is an OLE 2.0 server, which means it
supports embedding or linking an image in an
OLE container application (usually a word-
processor or page-layout program). For example,
you can insert Adobe Photoshop files and selec-
tions into other OLE applications such as Adobe
PageMaker 6.5 and Microsoft Word 7.0 using copy
and paste or other methods.
Linking lets you place a link in the OLE
•
container file that refers to the Photoshop file on
the hard drive.
Embedding lets you insert the Photoshop file
•
into the OLE container file.
Once in the container application, an image can be
double-clicked for editing in Photoshop. When
closed in Photoshop, the image is updated in the
container application.
To link or embed a selection or image in an OLE
application:
Do one of the following:
Copy a selection in Photoshop, and insert it in
•
your OLE container application using the appli-
cation's Paste Special command. Refer to your
word-processing or page-layout application
documentation for more instructions. Pasted
selections can only be embedded, not linked.
Use your OLE container application's Insert
•
Object command to insert a new Photoshop image
or existing Photoshop file as an OLE-embedded or
OLE-linked object. Refer to your word-processing
or page-layout application documentation for
instructions.
To insert an unlinked screen-resolution bitmap into
an OLE application:
With the move tool ( ), use the left-mouse button
to drag a selection to the OLE container appli-
cation. When you drop the object, it appears as a
72-ppi bitmap, which cannot be automatically
updated in Photoshop.
To modify and update a linked or embedded image in
an OLE application:
Double-click the linked or embedded image in
1
your word-processor or page-layout application to
launch Adobe Photoshop (if it is not already
running), and open the image for editing.
