Place psd file into Illustrator without losing quality
Question
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.
