Creating Augmented Reality Design with Adobe Aero

In this week's tutorial, I will walk you through the full process of turning a Photoshop composition into an AR scene that feels completely three dimensional.

Here are some tips on how to create an AR project using Adobe Photoshop Document.

• Simplify your layers, and most importantly, Merge your layer groups (Cmd/Ctrl E). 

  Aero only supports Raster layers.

•  You can either manually flatten your artwork or use the export feature for Aero in Photoshop.

  We recommend to do it manually.

• Name your layers correctly so that it will be easier for you to work with it in Aero.

• Try to keep the file size at 15 megabytes and delete the background layer.

• Save the artwork on your Creative Cloud Folder for easy access.

To create the AR scene, open Adobe Aero App on your phone or iPad, find a suitable surface, and add your files from the Creative Cloud Folder. Once your design is in Aero, you can adjust the scale, size, and offset.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial! If you feel confident and want to challenge yourself further!
