Photoshop files with Adobe Aero

Learn about using Adobe Photoshop files with layers in Adobe Aero.

Adobe Aero respects the layers of an Adobe Photoshop file. You can offset the layers to add 3D depth or variation to your AR experience.

Tip:

Keep the file size and the number of layers of your Photoshop file as low as possible. It’s also recommended to flatten any layer groups in Photoshop.

Offsetting layers of a Photoshop file in Adobe Aero

  1. Import your prepared Photoshop file into Adobe Aero.
  2. Select the assets and navigate to the Properties panel.
  3. Adjust the Layer Spacing to offset layers in the desired direction.
