Copying from Photoshop to Illustrator + with transparentcies.

I want to use the wings I made for Iron Man on the DVD cover on the DVD lable, the wings are not a perfect sqaure so if I were to simply copy them over they would have a white background. I need to import them with transparentcies, so to do this I will copy the wing layers and accociated effect layers into a new photoshop project using Layer-Duplicate Layer, this lets me send the currently selcted to layer an existing photoshop project or to create a new project for it to be placed in, and then send subsiquent layers to the newly made project. I do duplicate layer through the Layer optino at the top of Photoshop instead of via right clicknig the layer on the side as doing that way doesn't give me the option to save to an ewxisting or new file, it would just make the layer duplicated on the current project.
I need to create a new project to send the layers to as I can then place the project into illustrator and the transparencies will remaine intact. This is done through Illustrator by File-Place, then pick the psd file, this will be placed onto the currently selected Illustrator laer, so a new layer will be made before hand as I want it on its' own.

Go to Duplicate Layer in Layer, on the top option in Photoshop.

This window appears, here I can click new and type the name of a new project to create, I have already done this and made "Wings.psd" which I'll select then click OK, the selected layer is now in the other project. I repeat this will all layers I need, it copies over effect layers and applies them correctly, such as brightness etc.

This is the Wings project.

I crop the image so it won't import all the bottom nothing.
I do this by using the seelct to select the wings then go to Image-Crop

The image area is now smaller but the images its self if the same size. I then save this.

Now in illustrator I make a new layer then go to File-Place and select the Wings.psd file.

Then select the Wings.psd file I made through photoshop.


The image of the wings in now placed into the illustrator project, with transparentcies and all other effects.

I can now resize it and arange it into the DVD lable design how I like.
