Save a local Photoshop or Illustrator file to Curator

Prev Next

Use this process when:

  • You have a version open from Curator (Open a project) and want to save a separate version to Curator (for version logging). This saves a new version of the .psd or .ai file to Curator without updating the version you originally opened, so Curator then holds two files: the edited version and the original.
  • You started the project locally and want to save it to Curator. In Photoshop or Illustrator, you can save a local project to Curator at any stage and continue updating it in Curator.
