    Importing PSD files

    Hi there, I received several images as PSD files from a client. I want to import them into CA 10.08. Is there a tutorial anywhere or can somebody explain in a simple way how to do this.
    Your help is appreciated.

    You will need to have Adobe Photoshop to open these files, then save them as .PNG (may preserve some of the layer info ?) or .JPG's

    I could open it for you and save it as a jpeg or you could have the person who did it, flatten the image (combine layers to one) and save it as a jpeg. Then send it back to you. If you would like my help, then email me at:

    Thank you for your replies, attached is a example of the files I received. It looks like they are ready to be used as cad files.
    They are changed to png as suggested by Lew. I would like to turn them into a CA image.

    the pic you posted can be made into a Chief image by using the create image tool (Tools>Image>create image or this icon:Attachment 7209)
