Experienced photoshoper in need of illustrator tutorial (see description)?

back story:
Ive been painting on Photoshop for sometime now ( i tough my self) and i now want to learn illustrator (want to do vector art).
Question:
my question is, what tutorials did you use that helped you learn illustrator to the point where you could easily create peices of detailed vector art?
a thourogh answer would be appriciated
P.S : im new, dont bite.

Open the Help files. Start at the front and read it like a book. Perform everything that is described. Experiment a little as you go.
That's how I learn most every program.
Yes, it can be boring. Yes, it takes time. But it's faster and more thorough than trying to dive into a complicated program cold and poking around randomly while asking bare bones basic questions in a user forum. The vast majority of questions asked in this forum can be answered more correctly and more quickly with a simple search in the documentation.

    I have just downloaded a trial version of Photoshop Elements onto my Mac Book Pro (10.9.4).  The installation to my hard drive went fine so I attempted to use Elements on an existing Photoshop file.  I did not see the Elements option in my filter menu and am uncertain as to how to "add" the Elemnts to my existing filter choices.  Please advise.

    I'm sorry but it's very hard to understand what you mean. What filter menu? In which program? Do you mean you're trying to use PSE as an external editor with some other asset management program? Which one?

  • Exporting PHotoshop layered file to Illustrator. Is this possible?

    I built a project within Photoshop CS2, complete with layers. But I need to export this artwork to be used in Illustrator. Can I do this? I've already tried saving the work as EPS but when it's opened in AI CS2, it displays nothing. What should I do?
    - Kareem

    >I've already tried saving the work as EPS...
    The EPS format does not support layers in raster images, so you flattened your layers when you saved as EPS. (Open the EPS again in Photoshop and see.) Nothing Illustrator can do about that (but it should display
    something).
    Please read the topic "To use Photoshop artwork in Adobe Illustrator" in the Photoshop help file.

  • Photoshop CS6 Extended includes Illustrator?

    Hello,  I am a dad trying to purchase Adobe Photoshop CS6 and Adobe Illustrator for my daughter who is a high school senior and future art major.  She asked for either Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop CS6 for Christmas.  I happened to see Photoshop CS6 Extended advertised on Ebay and the description stated that it included Illustrator.  The Adobe website does not mention Illustrator as being included in the extended software.  Can anyone tell me if it is included?  What about Creative Cloud? Willl she need to sign up for a membership in order to use the software?
    Thanks for the help.

    Photoshop and Illustrator are two separate products.
    There are however several software suites, that contain most both of these software. There are several versions of Creative Suite, and you can choose one that offers you best value.
    In additon to the Creative Suite, Adobe also has a Creative Cloud offerring that includes all desktop software (such as Ps, Ai, Dw, ID), along with some web services, and even a tablet applications. It is available on a monthly subscription, so has low upfront costs, and ensures that you'll always have access to the latest version of the software.
    Have a look at the Creative Suite buying guide to find an offerring that suits you best.

  • Unable to place Photoshop psd file in Illustrator CS3

    Hi,
    Can someone help please???
    I am unable to place a Photoshop PSD file in Illustrator and be able to print the document correctly. The Illustrator file is saved as a ai file, both the document & PSD file are CMYK.
    On screen the document looks fine but as soon as I have printed the document, some of file has not printed.
    Do I need to have the Illustrator file as a eps file?
    I used to use an old Photoshop version that had a Export Image option, which was great for something like this, but CS3 doesn't have this option.
    Has anybody got any ideas what I am doing wrong?

    This seems to be an Illy problem, not Photoshop. You might want to check
    with the gurus there, but perhaps a few details, like what printer
    you're using and a few screenshots might help.

  • Coverting photoshop file into an illustrator file

    Is it possible to convert a photoshop file into an illustrator file - I am using CS3.
    My client has sent me a logo which is a small photoshop image of the logotype logo on a black background at 300dpi. The text is 3D and has a gold gradient on one section and silver gradient on another section.
    Originally the logo was created by an animator for a film - the animator says he cannot provide a vector file
    The client does not want to remake the logo from scratch as the gradients and 3d effects would be different.
    I now need to have a vector file for a large print job - can I take the photoshop image - place it into an illustrator file and save as an illustrator file? Is there a better way to do this?
    I have tried cutting out the text area of the logo but it is still a bit scratchy round the edges so not really very useful.
    Thanks for you help
    Regards - Brian

    The client made the mistake of not having the logo properly made as a vector in the first place. He needs to accept that fact and let the logo be properly created now. It's easy to turn a vector image into a raster (Photoshop) image, but going the other direction is generally not possible without recreating it from scratch. Although the Live Trace feature in Illustrator converts rasters to vectors, you probably won't like the result, and a logo needs to be be properly constructed, not knocked out by Live Trace.

    Check your Adobe account online.  If you registered the software when you first installed it then the serial number might be available there.

  • How to enable shortcut for menubar in MAC OS, Here in Photoshop on Windows OS we can see the letter underlined for shortcut.

    Here in Photoshop on Windows OS we can see the letter underlined for shortcut.
    In Menu bar
    F for File
    E for Edit
    and I for Image
    We can press alt+F to list file menu
    and alt+E to list Edit menu
    Is there any option like this to enable shortcuts for menu bar in "MAC OC"

    The closest I know is assigning "Move focus to the menu bar" in the Preferences a keyboard shortcut and then navigating with the arrow keys (letters may also work to highlight, but not to expand in and of themselves once the focus is on the menu bar).
