In-Depth Information
The link to the original image file is removed, and the image data is embedded in
the Illustrator document. Visually, you can tell the image is embedded because it
no longer has the X going through the middle of it (with the image selected and
edges showing [View > Show Edges]) and an embed icon (
) appears in the Lay-
ers panel to the far right of the name.
Note
Certain file formats, like PSD, show an Import Options dialog box when
you embed the image, allowing you to select placement options.
With an image embedded, you may realize that you need to make an edit to that
image in a program like Adobe Photoshop. You can just as easily unembed an im-
age, which is what you'll do next to the Kayak.jpg image.
2. With the Kayak.jpg image still selected on the artboard, click the Unembed button
in the Control panel. You can also choose Unembed from the Links panel menu (
).
Note
The embedded Kayak.jpg image data is unembedded from the file and
saved as a TIFF file in the images folder. The kayak image on the artboard
is now linked to the TIFF file.
3. In the Unembed dialog box, navigate to the Lessons > Lesson14 > images folder
(if you are not already there). Choose File Format (Mac OS) or TIFF (*.TIF) from
the Save As Type (Windows) menu and click Save.
