I'm trying to import a Photoshop .psd file into Illustrator. This file has a transparent background. I then want to save it in Illustrator as an .eps file. When I do this, it places WHITE behind the image.

I figure I need to convert the image to a vector or something like that.

Does anyone know how to save it in .eps format in Illustrator and preserve the same transparency from Photoshop?

THANKS!

Are you copying & pasting, opening or "placing"? try placing the .psd file and selecting the target file options and attributes you need- also what version of illustrator are you using?

Illustrator just uses a white background, it should still be transparent.
