Duplicate an image
You can duplicate an entire image (including all layers, layer masks, and channels) into available memory without saving to disk.
1. Open the image you want to duplicate.
2. Choose Image > Duplicate.
3. Enter a name for the duplicated image.
4. If you want to duplicate the image and merge the layers, select Duplicate Merged Layers Only. To preserve the layers, make sure this
option is deselected.
5. Click OK.
Open files
You can open files using the Open command and Open Recent command. You can also open files into Photoshop from Adobe Bridge or Adobe®
Photoshop® Lightroom™.
When opening certain files, such as camera raw and PDF, you specify settings and options in a dialog box before the files completely open in
Photoshop.
In addition to still images, Photoshop® Extended users can open and edit 3D files, video and image sequence files. For more information, see
Importing video files and image sequences (Photoshop Extended).
Photoshop uses plug-in modules to open and import many file formats. If a file format does not appear in the Open dialog box or in the
File > Import submenu, you may need to install the format’s plug-in module.
Sometimes Photoshop may not be able to determine the correct format for a file. This can happen, for example, because the file has been
transferred between two operating systems. Sometimes a transfer between Mac OS and Windows can cause the file format to be mislabeled.
In such cases, you must specify the correct format in which to open the file.
You can retain (where possible) layers, masks, transparency, compound shapes, slices, image maps, and editable type when bringing your
Illustrator art into Photoshop. In Illustrator, export the art in the Photoshop (PSD) file format. If your Illustrator art contains elements that
Photoshop doesn’t support, the appearance of the artwork is preserved, but the layers are merged and the artwork is rasterized.
Open a file using the Open command
1. Choose File > Open.
2. Select the name of the file you want to open. If the file does not appear, select the option for showing all files from the Files Of Type
(Windows) or Enable (Mac OS) pop-up menu.
3. Click Open. In some cases, a dialog box appears, letting you set format-specific options.
If a color profile warning message appears, specify whether to use embedded profile as the working space, convert the document
color to working space, or reverse the embedded profile. For more information, see Color-managing imported images.
Open a recently used file
Choose File > Open Recent, and select a file from the submenu.
