Create and edit Photoshop files

You can create a Photoshop file that will automatically inherit the pixel and frame aspect ratio settings of your Premiere Pro project. You can also edit any image file in a Premiere Pro project in Photoshop.

Create a new Photoshop file in a project

 Choose File > New > Photoshop File.

Photoshop opens with a new blank image. The pixel dimensions match the project’s video frame size, and image guides show the title-safe and action-safe areas for the project.

Edit an image file in Photoshop

From within a project, you can open an image file in most formats that Adobe Photoshop supports. Premiere Pro does not import files in CMYK or LAB color formats.

  1. Select a clip in either the Project panel or Timeline panel.
  2. Choose Edit > Edit In Adobe Photoshop.

    The file opens in Photoshop. When you save the file, changes are available in the project.
