After editing images in Photoshop (PS), you can save them to Eagle through several convenient methods. This article will introduce different approaches for adding new files and updating existing files.

Adding New Edited Files

Method 1: Using Auto Import Feature

Configure Auto Import Watch Folder: Enable the auto import feature in Eagle, set up the watch path, and ensure that a folder with the same name as your library has been created by the software under this watch path
Save Files to Watch Folder: After editing files in PS, save them to your designated auto import watch folder. Eagle will automatically import the file into your library, and you can find it in "Uncategorized"

Method 2: Directly Drag Documents to Eagle

Edit and Save Document: Edit and save files in PS
Drag Files to Eagle: Open Eagle and directly drag the edited files from PS into Eagle's library

Updating Existing Files in Eagle

Method: Using Right-Click Menu to Open and Save

Select File in Eagle: Find the file you want to edit in Eagle, right-click and select "Open with Default App" or "Open with"
Drag File from Eagle to PS: Not only the file itself, but Eagle also provides the original file path information to PS, ensuring that you are editing the original file in PS
Edit and Save in Place: Whether through dragging or right-click menu, after editing in PS, please save in place (do not choose "Save As"). This way, the edited content will directly update the original file in Eagle. If the thumbnail doesn't refresh, you can right-click the file in Eagle and select "More" > "Refresh Thumbnail"

Important Notes

Using "Save in Place" instead of "Save As" ensures that files in Eagle are updated correctly
If thumbnails don't update automatically, please use the "Refresh Thumbnail" feature
The auto import feature requires pre-configuring the watch folder to work properly
