# Importing assets from Curator into your Adobe project as layers

Once you have a [project opened](/docs/open-a-project) or have [saved a local Photoshop or Illustrator file to Curator](/docs/save-a-local-photoshop-or-illustrator-file-to-curator) you can then start to import Curator image assets into your Adobe Project (.psd or .ai) as layers. Importing and layering assets works similarly as if you were importing them from a folder on your system, or folder on your drive or network location. Instead, you’re importing and layering them from Curator, not a system folder.

To learn more about the Adobe Panel, refer to the following article: [Adobe panel explained](/docs/adobe-panel-explained). The navigation of Curator in Adobe software is much the same as in Clip Link, so we recommend you review the [Searching for assets](/docs/searching-for-assets) article for further guidance on navigating your assets through the Adobe panel.

#### How to import an image asset from Curator into your Adobe project as a layer

With the [Adobe project open](/docs/open-a-project) in your Adobe software:

1. [Search](/docs/searching-for-assets) for and select the image asset(s) you wish to layer
2. Select ‘Place’ in the Adobe panel menu

3. The Curator image (asset) is now imported as a layer in your open Curator Adobe project (.psd or .ai)
