I have a document in Illustrator, entirely comprised of vector elements that I want to bring into Photoshop to edit.

The top most object is a gradient with transparency and this entire gradient disappears when I import the file into Photoshop, everything else in the document including other gradients with transparency appear as they should.

Why is this occurring and how can I solve my issue?

  • what kinds of documents are you using? Is the gradient an Illustrator-made object or did you place it in Illustrator?

  • Oops sorry should have mentioned, entirely vector. Some gradients and blending modes applied.

This doesn't explain why it's occurring but the following two workarounds helped to some degree, but neither are ideal:

• Save .ai as an EPS (although then there was white outlines around things like a low resolution/transparency flattening type effect)

• Save .ai as a high resolution JPEG
