When importing a PSD file, you can select and import layer comps. A layer comp is a Photoshop feature that allows
you to create, manage, and view multiple versions of a layout in a single Photoshop file. See Photoshop Help for more
information on this feature.
1 In an open project, select File > Import > Photoshop File.
Note: Alternatively, you can use Insert > Image or you can also drag-and-drop the PSD file to the slide.
2 In the Import dialog box, do one of the following:
• To select separate layers of the PSD file, select the Layers option and select each layer that you want to import.
To merge the selected layers before importing, select Merge Layers.
Note: Importing each layer separately increases the size of your image file. To reduce the size of the image, you can
merge the layers.
To import the layers that you have not imported before, repeat the above steps and choose the required layers.
The layers get added to the corresponding PSD folder in the Library.
• To flatten the layers and then import them as a single image, select Flattened Image.
Note: When you flatten layers, you cannot edit each layer separately within Adobe Captivate. Use this option only
if you are sure that layer editing is not required and the image is ready to use.
• To import any layer comps, click Multiple and select the layer comp from the drop-down list. The layers in the
selected layer comps appear. Select the check boxes corresponding to the layer comps you want to import.
3 Select Scale According To Stage Size to automatically resize the image to the size of your Adobe Captivate project.
Reusing PSD items in the Library
You can reuse PSD items, such as layers and layer comps, using one or all of the following ways:
• To reuse a PSD item in a slide, drag-and-drop the item from the Library onto the slide.
• To reuse a PSD item in a different project, open the target project. Then, drag-and-drop the item from the current
project’s Library into the target project. You can also copy and paste the item into the target project.
Alternatively, in the target project, select File > Import > External Library, and open the project from which you
want to import the PSD items. When the Library panel of the selected project appears, select the item and drag-and-
drop it into the current project.
If a PSD file by the same name exists in the target project, Adobe Captivate matches the modified date of the two
files. If the dates are same, the layers get copied into the corresponding PSD file folder in the Library. If not, the
layers are copied as normal images.
Edit PSD files
❖ In the slide or PSD folder in the library, select the imported PSD file, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac
OS), and then select Edit PSD Source File.
You can also edit the file from image properties (Window > Properties).
Update PSD files
If the files in the Adobe Captivate library and the original files are not in sync, the status column in the library changes
from
to .
To update and bring the resource on slide in sync with the source,
• Select the PSD on stage, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS), and then select Update from Source.
• Click Update in the Property Inspector (Window > Properties).
