Importing Adobe Photoshop files

You can import files from Photoshop 3.0 or later. However, Premiere does not support 16-bit TIFF images created in Photoshop or other graphic applications. You can also import an individual layer from a multilayer Photoshop file. If the Photoshop file uses an alpha channel for transparency, Premiere preserves it. If you superimpose the Photoshop file over another track in Premiere, you can see through the transparent areas marked by the alpha channel. For information about alpha channels and superimposing, see Using the Alpha Channel key.

Note: If you have trouble importing a Photoshop file that uses a layer mask or multiple layers, flatten (combine) the layers in the Photoshop file before importing it into Premiere; for information, see the product's documentation.
