I want import a psd file into Illustrator without losing quality.

I have a 300dpi image at Photoshop with height 60 cm, as you can see below.


(You can see a smooth "D")

I create an Illustrator document with height 100cm and "Raster Effects: 300 ppi".


But when I "File/Place" the .psd file i get the below result.


The photo in Illustrator loss quality.
Why this happens?

How can I place psd file into Illustrator with best quality?

Thank you.

I can't really say why your having a problem with that, but I suppose the best way to maintain quality is to not embed the image at all.

When you do a Place make sure the Link checkbox is checked.

The image will remain a PSD file, and the representation you see in Illustrator will just be a preview, so no quality can be lost until you export to something else from Illustrator.

Save your photoshop file as photoshop pdf, and in the pdf settings (very important) change the compression setting to none, this should give you the best file to manage in illustrator.
