Create a layer and new Photoshop footage item
When you create an Adobe Photoshop file from After Effects, Photoshop starts and creates a new PSD file. This PSD file consists of a blank
Photoshop layer that has the same dimensions as your composition, with the appropriate title-safe, and action-safe guides. The color bit depth of
the PSD file is the same as the color bit depth of your After Effects project.
The newly created PSD file is automatically imported into After Effects as a footage item. Any changes that you save in Photoshop appear in the
footage item in After Effects.
To create a Photoshop footage item and use it as the source for a new layer in the current composition, choose Layer > New > Adobe
Photoshop File. The Photoshop layer is added as the top layer in your composition.
To create a Photoshop footage item with the settings of the most recently open composition, without adding it to a composition, choose File >
New > Adobe Photoshop File.
