Building a web page using tracing images
Tracing images
You can design web pages by using tracing images as visual guides. As a design develops, you can cut out parts of a
tracing image and convert them into Smart Objects on the final web page.
You can import the following formats as tracing images: Illustrator AI, Photoshop PSD, JPG, JP2, GIF, PNG, BMP,
TARGA, EPS, PCX, PDF, PICT, PIXAR, SVG, TIFF, and Amiga IFF.
