psd import lost layers...

[markw]

OK so I’ve read through this thread again…
Trying to put a .psd file into an existing document in ArtRage will always flatten it to a single layer. This is normal. It may not be desirable but it is normal!
To retain the layer structure a .psd file has to be first opened in AR by using one of the methods I described earlier. It can then be worked with from there in AR.
If the content of the newly opened .psd file has to be added to an existing AR document then the only way would be to have both the new and existing documents open in AR and Copy & Paste the new layers over.

In the first post, bauchladen said that File > ‘Import Image File…’ had failed to retain the layer structure for him. Though it should have worked.
Any clarification on this would be helpful I think.
