Creating a high quality website logo in Photoshop or Illustrator

I'm trying to create a very high quality crips website logo using Photoshop or Illustrator, but everytime I export the design into PNG, the text borders are not as crip compared with Google logo. How do I create a very crips and sharp logo using Adobe software? Please tell me what software, how to export, what the size of the document should be, what resolution, any detailed tricks, designs and pointers would be helpful. I know I can create a logo, but it is blurry and it shows. When I put my logo on a gray background for instance, the text becomes more blurrier. You know the deal.

hmmm. Where to start?
The question points to several areas of digital design fundamentals that indicate you need to educate yourself through classes, books, tutorials. The PS Forum can't really get at all the issues you bring up; resolution, vector vs raster, web graphics, transparency and the web. You are asking how to make a logo and that is a really broad request not easily answered.
A quick search for "Photoshop for Web Design" yields a lot of possibilities. There are a lot of books and a lot of free and not so free online tutorials.
Here are a couple:

How do I create a text style in CC libraries? Every time I drag and drop text into library form Photoshop or illustrator it turns it into a graphic.

How do I create a text style in CC libraries? Every time I drag and drop text into library form Photoshop or illustrator it turns it into a graphic.
If I select the text layer and click the text style button in the library it just creates a new text style for Myriad Pro 12pt - I'm not using that anywhere in my document.
Can anyone help? Seems like a bug to me as I'm trying what the video tutorials are saying.
Thanks

I realize AI is an illustration program.
Do you realize it is an object-based vector-based program? Do you know the difference between raster-based and vector-based content?
My question seems to be all over the forum but no one has been able to answer other than exporting to these file formats, which make text look awful and of no use....
And yet everyone else in the world makes proper web images every day using a plethora of programs, including these...go figure.
Am I missing something?
Yep. Pretty much.
Hello Adobe! People use transparency on website logos.
Hello, cocteau! What you're calling "transparency" is inherent to object-based vector artwork. But web browsers don't support object-based vector artwork, except via file formats like Flash and SVG, or by viewing as a PDF in a plug-in version of Reader. Raster imaging in general only supports "transparency" by either indexing a specific color (i.e.; "don't display this color", as in GIF) or including an alpha channel (i.e.; "blend all the pixels with existing pixels, based on values from this extra channel", as in PNG). It's all in the raster file format you use, cocteau; it has little-to-nothing to do specifically with Adobe software. Such things are among the most basic matters understood by someone doing web design.
When I export an eps from .ai file, and open the eps in photoshop,...I save as a gif for the web, it goes back to the original problem...creates jagged text. I"m giving up on this garbage...Thanks a lot adobe! Lower the price of this software if this is all that can be done.
Once it leaves Photoshop (or Illustrator, or whatever) as a non-proprietary raster image format, it's all about what the format can do re "transparency". You can do this stuff with most any graphics program. You should read about basic web design and the differences between raster and vector content, rather than rant.

Photoshop or Illustrator - for creating digital art?

So, I want to create digital arts like the link provided below. I just don’t know if Photoshop or Illustrator is the right tool. Money really isn’t an object when it comes to art, but uh, which one is more designed for creating digital artwork?
Example Picture Link: http://d.facdn.net/art/thefarewelled/1304841391.thefarewelled_huey_cut_in_copy.png
[This is not my picture and found on google images]
Please & thanks, Much love.

Ultimately I would say photoshop is your best bet. You can do the hard lines, shading and blending for this type of thing fairly easily in photoshop compared to illustrator if you know how. Most web comic artist I know who do their work in color usually use photoshop to produce exactly this type of look. For examples look at Katbox.net/laslindas or 2kinds.com

QUICK QUESTION: how do you create letter designs in Photoshop or Illustrator to acrylic cut?

I don't want to create this exact design but this is what I am looking to do. I want to cut and design acrylic and i was told to use photoshop or acrylic but I am not exactly sure how to do this. If you would like to help, We could just use the simple word: "bunny". How do I create that black outline as well?
(photo credit: google)

Illustrator is probably the better program to do something like that in. However I don't have Illustrator and Photoshop has layers, text tools, fonts, layer styles and shape layers. CS6 even let you convert text into shape layers. So something like that would not be that difficult to create in Photoshop. You may want to look at Linked Letters [Logo or Monogram ]which was done before CS6 at that time Text Layers could not be converted to shape layers.

How do I create custom Photoshop/Illustrator actions in Automator?

Hi all,
I'm doing a video project with some fairly tedious processes involved on my files. I'd like to use Automator but I think I'm missing some key points on how to use it. Google has not yielded anything fruitful on the matter so I decided to bring this to the experts on this board.
Here is the process I'd like to automate. Keep in mind I know how to do each step in its given application, but have not been able to figure out how to plug these into Automator sequence:
- Use Quicktime to covert a movie file into an image sequence
- Take that image sequence and use Illustrator to covert each image in the sequence to vector
- Convert each .ai file produced into a jpeg using Photoshop
I need these steps done for over 100 movie files. My main problem is that Photoshop and Illustrator don't appear in my application list within Automator. Can I add these? If not, I'm not sure I understand how to write an action for either application. I even downloaded some third-party Photoshop scripts and added them but the application icon still does not appear within Automator.
I also tried "record" while doing all the steps manually, but Automator didn't seem to pick up anything I did (unlike the old versions of Apple Script Editor). Please help! Thanks a mil...
Mike

Finicky is not the word for Watch Me Do... I feel like Apple's old record button in Script Editor worked better than this. Anyway, red_menace, thanks for the link - very helpful.
After lots of trial and error, I managed to get my Quicktime script to work. I did a Watch Me Do action, then from the list of those actions in the Watch Me Do step in Automator, I extracted individual actions by dragging them out below to the space for the next step, and a "Run Applescript" step appeared. I put something together with the idea that I could drag a desired movie file onto this Automator application and have it executed. This is what I have so far, in order of Automator steps:
1. Open Finder Items. Got this from a pre-installed action for Finder. I selected Quicktime 7 as the app to open. This assumes a movie file has been dragged onto the application file that Automator creates to open the file in Quicktime and kick off the script.
2. Run Applescript (extracted from the Watch Me Do recording). I adjusted the "delay" time to be long enough as I found having too short of a delay messed up the whole automation. This step is to tell Quicktime to bring up the Export dialogue (a simple Command-E button press). The script is as follows:
on run {input, parameters}
-- Press ⌘E
delay 3
set timeoutSeconds to 2.0
set uiScript to "keystroke \"e\" using command down"
my doWithTimeout(uiScript, timeoutSeconds)
return input
end run
on doWithTimeout(uiScript, timeoutSeconds)
set endDate to (current date) + timeoutSeconds
repeat
try
run script "tell application \"System Events\"
" & uiScript & "
end tell"
exit repeat
on error errorMessage
if ((current date) > endDate) then
error "Can not " & uiScript
end if
end try
end repeat
end doWithTimeout
3. Run Applescript (again, taken from the Watch Me Do recording). This one was a little trickier because for some reason Watch Me Do was recording my button press of the enter key as an empty set of commas (' '). I poked around online and found that the AppleScript equivalent for enter is "key code 36", so I replaced the blank space with that. I wonder if this is because I'm using a non-Apple keyboard... The script is as follows:
on run {input, parameters}
-- Type 'key code 36'
delay 2
set timeoutSeconds to 2.0
set uiScript to "keystroke \"
my doWithTimeout(uiScript, timeoutSeconds)
return input
end run
on doWithTimeout(uiScript, timeoutSeconds)
set endDate to (current date) + timeoutSeconds
repeat
try
run script "tell application \"System Events\"
" & uiScript & "
end tell"
exit repeat
on error errorMessage
if ((current date) > endDate) then
error "Can not " & uiScript
end if
end try
end repeat
end doWithTimeout
The above three steps work well for my movie file export from Quicktime, but what I'd REALLY like is to do is repeat these steps for every movie file in a given folder with one click. Any ideas on how I'd accomplish that?
I also tried to string in further actions for Illustrator but no luck - I kept getting errors in Illustrator. First, I got the error "The object "Play Action" is not currently available", and once I figured out how to get past that error (just extended the delay time), I got stuck on the error "Could not complete the Play command because the action is playing". In a nutshell, I'm trying to get Automator to open Illustrator and play an Illustrator Action. Again, open to any ideas. My Illustrator action is a simple one: Live Trace, then save file.
Thanks again for the help on this, folks.

Photoshop or Illustrator to create bumps like a cupcake would have?

Which is better to use? Photoshop or Illustrator to make the bumpy lines a "flat" (ex. think of the shadow of a cupcake maybe) cupcake icing at the top would have? Like this except more professional looking (made this in a couple minutes):
And how would I make it?

I prefer Photoshop, because a) I am shite with Illustrator, and b) IMO a thing like this is all about shadows and highlights, with pretty much no lines at all. So my version started with a number of vertical black lines, which I copied and inverted. That gave me the case flutes, so I Free Transformed using Perspective to taper the two layers.
The wavy lines are something I could not have done so easily even a week ago, as they were very easily produced using the new Distortion effect in Lazy Nezumi. That tool is the best $20 add on for Photoshop by miles. I just laid an arbitrary sine wave across the page, and used FT to match the pitch to the case, and Warp > Curve to make the curve. The lines were used to mask the case to, and then turned off.
The pink top started with a flat ellipse filled with pink. That layer was copied three times and spaced out using the Move > Align tools. Then FT to make the perspective.
OK, it did get just a tiny bit tricky here, but only because you need a lot of layers, and need to keep track of them. I made a selection of all four layers combined, and used that to add a layer mask to all the topping layers.
Each pink oval has two versions - one sharp, the other blurred, so I could have a soft transition between the layers.
The hard versions also have drop shadows, which are there to give the shadows between the pink layers. I had to rasterize all those drop shadows with Create Layer, so I could mask out the over flow, but the afore mention layer mask took care of most of that.
It would be nice if I could have used Layer styles for the highlights, but that would have been tricky because of the curves, so I ran a straight white line which I FT'd to shape and then blurred.
The cherry is all layer styles.
Hundreds & Thousands used brush dynamics. 100% scatter jitter. 100% Hue jitter. Fully hard brush. The the smallest drop shadow I could manage to make them look real.
There is an upside down drop shadow on the case layer, to make the pink top look like it is overflowing the case, and a tiny Bevel & Emboss because it looked better.
Two shadows beneath the case, one hard and small, and one big and soft. That is the minimum I'd do for shadows.
About an hours work, but if I wasn't doing that, I'd be practicing some other way, and if we didn't enjoy the process, we wouldn't be here.

How to create a Photoshop Pattern with an Illustrator Pattern CS6

I've been creating patterns in Illustrator (because it's much easier to preview how the pattern turns out) but when I bring them into Photoshop, using the offset filter, it only works when the patterns are blocked. It doesn't work if the patterns are bricked or hexed- which I use often in illustrator.
So I decided to try and just create a square in illustrator and fill it with the pattern in illustrator, then copy and paste that square into the Photoshop document. When I do that, I get white lines going through the pattern. Any advice on a way to easily bring Illustrator patterns into Photoshop? I don't even need to create the actual tile in Photoshop- but I'm not sure how to get rid of the white lines.

The white lines was a bug in CS6. I reported it, and I believe it's fixed in CC. the pattern maker in IA is much better than what you can do in PS. The new Deco Scripts add a lot of flexibility. With the latest release of CC 14.2 a user interface has been added to the Deco Scripts, making it a bit easier to get an idea of what you're doing. For CS6, I wrote a script that creates a UI, but there is no feedback window. It does allow you to adjust all the scripts variables without having to edit the Deco script code. You can try it by downloading it here:

You will still have the white line issue unless you upgrade to CC.

Photoshop and Illustrator updates fail using Adobe Application Manager, why and what can I do?

In the Adobe Application Manager, it says there are updates for both Photoshop and Illustrator. When I click to update, they both downloaded and attempted to install and in the middle of this process, Application Manager shows that the updates fail. After this, upon restart of my Mac–running Lion–Illustrator shows that it's up to date in the Application Manager and Photoshop shows an update is available. Upon trying to re-update Photoshop again, the update fails again and again.
I have updated before a few days ago with no problem, so I don't understand why the updates are failing and why after doing so, now Illustrator shows that it is up to date and Photoshop does not.
Has anyone else had this problem and if so, does anyone know why and what I can do about it?
Thank you.

Hi Richei Creative,
These would be my suggestions:
Create a new user account with administrative rights, log out of your current account and into that one, launch Adobe Application Manager and attempt the Photoshop update again.
Instructions if you need them - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11468
If this fails, uninstall Photoshop (Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers) and reinstall Photoshop then from Adobe Application Manager the attempt the Photoshop update again, also from the newly created user account.
Hope these help,

Standard brushes not working in Photoshop or Illustrator

I have a lot of standard brushes that came with the CC brush library that are not working with any of the programs they come with. When I hover over the brushes they say "Type: Sketch Brush This brush format is not supported by Photoshop/Illustrator"
So where can I use these brushes then? I would like to create brushes using the Adobe Brush CC program on my phone/tablet, but I can't use them in my programs. ... What am I doing wrong here?

They are probably brushes from Adobe Brush. You have to target them in Brush to either make them work in AI or Photoshop.

Need help deciding which adobe product to purchase (Photoshop or Illustrator)

hello,
I am about to be given the task of creating the graphics for my company on a specific task.
We recently got a new printer to create cards with and before now, everyone has been running into trouble getting clean, accurately colored prints for these cards, and I am being given the task of creating them and need to decide what program I will need to achieve this.
What happens, is a company orders a set of cards and sends their graphic, which I will be receiving at a different size than will be needed for printing, so I need to enlarge it, which distorts the colors.
Also, on almost all of the images, I will be needing to add some words to the graphic before printing it, like the company name or address etc. but then occasionally, I am given some general images and generic instructions which I need to follow in order to create the graphic.
So, I was thinking that photoshop would help me to refill the colors after resizing an image, or when I need to create the graphic mostly myself, yet I will be having difficulty creating the words required.
But then illustrator would be giving me excelent fonts and words since its a vector program, yet I believe I will run into problems colorizing my graphics once resized.
So, what does everyone think would be the better option here?
Or what would be a good work around for either photoshop or illustrator that would help me resolve the problems arrising because I do not have the other?
Or what are some other potential problems I might possibly run into?

Well exactally,
Being the economic misfortune that hit the country, my company doesn't have the funds to pay for a professional and they are trying to find a way to keep the project inside the building.
me being 20 years old and wishing to pursue a career in graphic design sees this as a great opportunity to learn alot about printmaking as well as how to use graphic editing programs on a level higher than taught in school.
My boss is wanting me, and going to pay for me, to go under several hours of training to accomplish what needs to be done, but like I said, I am given the task of trying to figure out what kind of software I am going to need for the task, which is why I am here asking about the programs.
Also, it is kind of my first attempt at trying to further understand exactally what each of the programs do, and so far, I have learned quite alot by searching around and asking what other people think.
So, If you don't find it to be too hard to put your opinions or thoughts about how I could best accomplish creating the cleanest cards I would greatly appreciate it.
Sincerely,
BeeHiver

Importing Photoshop or Illustrator to Keynote '09 and export to Qucktime

Hello,
I have a slideshow project I am working on for a client 1280x720 for export to Quicktime H.264. I have placed a logo from photoshop for the intro with text created in Keynote. When exported to Quicktime H.264 1280x720 the playback is great but the logo looks all choppy not sharp it does look sharp when played back by Keynote the video looks great it's jut the logo i am having difficulties with. I have imported the file from photoshop and illustrator and converted the file to JPEG and Tiff but still looks choppy when exported to Quicktime. Any help would be appreciated.

The IPTC metadata is for image files only. Video files can't have that metadata written to the file. Application can assign metadata to video files but they are kept in databases associated with the application and point to the video file.
Some DAM (digital asset management) applications can add keywords, etc. to video files but the data stays with the application.

Creating a website in illustrator

I'm pretty new to the world of web design and I'm seeking your help.
I've created a pretty good looking site in Illustrator and I want to know how to convert that to an HTML file or if this is even possible. I've spent a considerable amount of time on this website and I want to be able to use it. I'm using Illustrator CS3.
Any help is appreciated.

Really, I assumed it was necessary as this forum support html code or did you mean using the amperstand code?

As for placing text over a graphic in Dreamweaver. You can use absolute positioning. However if your page is fluid your text will not move. You may be able to use relative positioning, if you use a negative margin. Something you will have to play with to see if it can work.
Another option is to overlay the graphic with text using Photoshop or Illustrator.
