How to export layers¶
Export from Photoshop to Escape Motions Software¶
Select a layer that you want to export and click on:
- "PS -> RB" button for exporting to Rebelle
- "PS -> FP" button for exporting to Flame Painter
If you select an empty layer in Rebelle (or Flame Painter), a layer from Photoshop will be exported to this empty layer, otherwise, a new layer will be created.
Export from Rebelle or Flame Painter to Photoshop¶
Select a layer you want to export to Photoshop and click the button "PS" in the Layers panel. Or from the menu: Layer > Export to Photoshop.
If you select an empty layer in Photoshop, a layer from Rebelle will be exported to this empty layer, otherwise, a new layer will be created.
If the export from Rebelle to Photoshop is not working, please check whether the following option is deselected in PS: Edit > Preferences > Interface (or Workspace) > Auto-Collapse Iconic Panels. The Escape Motions Connect panel has to be always visible while exporting.
Exported layers keep their original name and opacity. Most of the blending modes copy their original presets as well.
How to keep the same canvas size in Photoshop and Escape Motions Software¶
Option 1: Run both Photoshop and Rebelle.
When you export the Photoshop layer and there is a New document with no
changes in Rebelle, the new document will be resized to
the exported layer size.
Option 2: Run both Rebelle and Photoshop.
Open Escape Motions Connect in Photoshop.
When exporting a layer from Rebelle, the new document will be created in Photoshop with exported layer size.
Option 3: Manually set the same canvas size in both applications.
