Question
Hi Kevin,

I have a psd file made up of 70 smart objects. The smart objects are illustrator vector files. I just found out I have to submit this file as a vector in Illustrator (it's for a t-shirt) It seems to me since this file is made up of only smart objects that are completely editable as vectors, I should be able to take all these layers into Illustrator somehow? Is this possible without completely rebuilding the design in Illustrator?

Thanks for your help!

Amy

Answer
Hi Amy,

Unfortunately no, there is no way to brim that into Illustrator and maintain Vector shapes. Smart objects are linked to Vector files but when saved/exported out of Photoshop they become raster. You will have to recreate this in Illustrator to keep this vector.

Sorry
