Home > Getting Started > Supported File Types Supported File Types PhotoTools supports any 8 or 16 bit RGB file that can be opened by Adobe® Photoshop®. This includes Jpeg, PSD and TIF as well as Raw files from digital cameras and many other formats. If you routinely work in Grayscale or CMYK, simply convert your image RGB before using PhotoTools. By default, PhotoTools functions on a merged duplicate layer. That means it will create a new layer above your target layer that contains all of the information in the layers below it. In the preferenes you can also select the option to have PhotoTools only work on a copy of the current layer. This is designed for use in page layout like creating albums or when using the Type & Graphic series of effects. This mode is intended for advanced users. You may also, through the preferences, select to create a merged duplicate document instead. This option will create a duplicate document, merge its layers and apply the results of PhotoTools to it. PhotoTools will always create a new layer (or new document) when it is applied to maintain your original image data. When in the default mode of merged duplicate layer PhotoTools can work on any image layer type. In the copy of current layer mode PhotoTools will support regular image layers, smart objects and text layers (both being rasterized). Adjustment layers and masks are not supported. See also |
