I think I’m having a similar problem although not sure. A friend creates a logo for me which contains 10 layers of backgrounds, text and a graphic. Actually, he created it using AI and then added content in PS_ver. CS2.
I take the file (Logo.PSD), bring it up in PS-CS3, and all the layers are there and it looks great. I then go into After Effects CS3, import the file and the layers don’t come with. I tried importing as “Footage”, “Composition” per an online Adobe video and still no layers show up. I’m torn between this being a PS compatibility type issue as opposed to an AE issue. I’m also thinking it has to be something simple that I am missing.
Hope someone can help?
Thanks!
Mike
