Now use the Photoshop import feature to read in the same file.
To import a Photoshop file using the Import command:
1 Choose Import Photoshop File from the File menu.
2 Browse to the same directory as before ($HOME/nreal/Tutorial_Media/Tutorial_02/
images/field_wawas) and double-click the background.psd file.
This time, Shake organizes each Photoshop layer in the file as a separate image and
inserts a Composite node to create the same result as the background node that you
inserted.
Note: The Composite node in this example is actually a Layer–Multilayer node, inserted
with the Photoshop import command and renamed “Composite.”
What’s so great about this? Now you can expand the node tree and insert other
elements between the Photoshop layers. You can also edit the layers in the original
Photoshop file, and the changes will be updated in your Shake script.
3 Double-click the Composite node to load it into the Viewer and Parameters tab.
