Hello QBN,
I created some bubbles in Illy and want to have them in PS - every bubble on its very own layer.
How?

I would probably draw them in PS as shape path layers.

@mono:
when I draw them in PS, It takes me ages to do then on seperate layers etc.. I did this in 10 seconds using Alchemy and exported it as svg and this is why I am looking for a solution :)
- You could just draw a circle, and then duplicate and resize. But yeah. I hope you figure it out.monospaced
- yup, I could which takes ages compared to doing one little swoosh ;)mekk
- it's been 20 minutes already since you started the post... just sayin' :)monospaced
- and you still didn't come up with a solution :) and now let's spread the love againmekk

can't you select all the bubbles in illustrator and distribute them to layers? then save it out as a psd?
- It's called Release to Layers in the layers palette.bored2death
- This is the answer but I don't think they will be vector anymore. Shame on Adobe for rasterizing without consent.CyBrainX

Export as layered PSD.
Open PSD.
Option-click (is it?) a layer to turn it into a selection.
Take it from there.

If you're fine with the circles as bitmaps, not vectors in PS, I'd probably just spend ten minutes cutting and pasting in place on new layers - a stupid pain in the ass, but doable, quicker than finding a 'quick automated solution'.

Go into Illy, copy all, go into PS and paste...select "Paste as Shape Layer", that's it
- Oh, separate layers, yeah, what bored2death said...SteveZissou
