Illustrator Export for Tiered PSD

Question

I am trying to export an Illustrator project to a PSD Layerd Photoshop file. But its receipt is exported as a flat image. When exporting, I selected the following options.

But when I get the file in Photoshop, I get only one layer.

Is there any specific way for a content stack in an AI file to export it?

Answer 1

Check if your source file in Illustrator is in RGB mode. Just go to File> Document Mode. If it is in CMYK, it will not export layers.

Answer 2

I am using PS CC2014.

It's as simple as using (in Photoshop) the Open As command on the File menu. This opens the .AI file on the PS, which is a layered file. Then you can save and edit as needed.
