In order to save time and valuable resources designers can import Photoshop (.PSD) files directly to the DAM and files are automatically converted to a Studio design format. These source files can then be accessed and edited within Studio. Elements can be locked and the design can be saved as a template, for even more time saving.
-
The Photoshop importer will support non, single and multi-artboard files. Multi-artboard files will be imported as separate designs.
-
The PSD files need to be uploaded to DAM first, and can be selected using compact view.
-
The PSD files need to be set to public in the DAM

If a background color is not set, the background in the generated output files will be white.

Why do the text layers indicate Source Sans Pro, which is the wrong font?
The right font file was not uploaded before uploading the template. Upload the right font first and reupload the template.
Why is my template not uploading?
Check the file size of your PSD file. The maximum allowed file size is 500MB. Change to the default text and images inside the template, modify the PSD file and then reupload the template.
