Files saved are missing images when imported into Photoshop, InDesign, other apps
Lately I am having problems with linked files in Illustrator not showing up when I open the file in Photoshop for instance, even though everything looks fine in Illustrator in the original file. I have to go into the Links menu and relink everything one at a time and resave to make it work. I also notice that the file size is smaller when the linked files don't work.
I tend to use linked files a lot and have for years so this isn't a case of unfamiliarity with the tool.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Windows 11
Illustrator 30.2.1
Photoshop 27.4.0

This has been fixed in the latest version - 30.3.
This fix would not correct the existing damaged files but should not happen on new files saved from newest version. Existing files can be corrected by resaving them in latest version.
Please check at your end and let us know.

Illustrator 30.2.1で保存したaiファイルをInDesign2026に配置すると、ai内にリンクされた画像ファイルが透明になります。30.1に戻したところ、直りました。
ただし、30.1でも、InDesign2026配置時に、ai内にリンクされた画像ファイルの位置がずれることがあります。こちらは毎回ではありません。ずれる場合の法則は分かりませんが、モノクロ2階調画像のずれる率が高いようです。
