Note: First ensure that you have a Frame.io Project mounted with Frame.io Drive.

Click <code>File &gt; Open</code> and locate your mounted Project.

Open any image file from the mounted Project to immediately import into the Photoshop editor, or drag and drop your media directly from the Finder location into Photoshop. (Note: This requires no downloading onto your desktop as it's from the mounted Project based in cloud storage.)

Continue to edit on your images with the cloud-based media within Photoshop.

When exporting, you can render directly to your mounted Project which will upload automatically to Frame.io. The newly exported file will upload to Frame.io to that Project location. Make sure to monitor Upload Status in Frame.io Drive app to ensure file has completed it's uploaded.
