How to prepare Illustrator logo art with Photoshop elements

I have designed a logo that will be used in a wide variety of print and web applications. It is made up of primarily vector art...outlined type and an icon. But I am using a photo as the background fill inside the icon shape.
What is the best way to construct the final art files so that I get optimum resolution of the leaf image for the largest applications (window signage) and efficient file sizes for the smaller applications (business card)? I want to provide the client with vector art (not jpegs or tiffs) and still have the photo be the appropriate resolution for a wide range of finished sizes for print and web.

twob,
It is quite common to create a number of different files for different purposes.
Apart from different colour mode for print (CMYK/spot) and web/other screen uses (RGB), obviously print requires higher resolution, and web/other screen uses require raster files.
The resolution needed for web/other screen uses should be evident in each case.
The resolution needed for different print tasks depends on a number of things, including kind of printing.
In this connexion it is important to realize that the required resolution in print depends on size and viewing distance: if you view artwork that is twice the size at twice the distance, you will need half the resolution, in other words the same file size in pixels by pixels. You may say that the required file size (pixels by pixels) depends on the viewing angle.
This means that a billboard to be viewed at a large distance and a normal page may have the same file size; obviously, the file size for a business card may be smaller.
Apart from all that, it is possible to recreate a photo like the leaf as vector artwork in Illustrator, and have everything as vector. If you consider that an option, you may post in the Illustrator forum to get started, and/or look round for tutorials; specific ones may very well be sugested in the forum, probably by others over there; it is past midnight over here.

  • How do I straighten a photo with Photoshop Elements?

    I opened a JPEG file and went to "Select" and clicked on "Select All", I then selected "Images" and wanted to click on "Transform" but it was "whited out" (not available), the only options that were available in Images were Rotate, Crop, Re-Size and Convert Color Profile.
    I would like to straighten the photo, WHAT am I doing wrong?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    Thank you for your help Little Pale Face, I probably am a little higher than a novice so I use mostly Quick and sometime Guided and as you can probably tell, don't feel comfortable enough to use Advance mode.
    Transform was not an option in either Quick or Guided so I (reluctantly) checked Advance where it WAS an option.
    As I mentioned, I am a novice so I am not familiar with Advance but figured out how to (slightly) shift/straighten the photo but that left a little "blank" space on the bottom and side so I guessed that I had to crop the photo so that only the picture and not the blank area, would appear. I don't know if what I did was correct and assume there must be a better way to straighten photos.
    Thank you Little Pale Face.

  • How do you do action recording in Photoshop Elements like you can in regular photoshop?

    How do you do action recording in Photoshop Elements like you can in regular photoshop?
    One of my clients is a club promoter and they would like to put their logo on the bottom left of their photos from their events. Usually I can do this by opening the logo (which has like 50% opacity), copying the logo, recording an action set, pasting the logo i copied to memory into the photo, resize the photo and export and close the photo, save the action set and then just batch- automate and choose all currently opened images to run the action on.
    *I mentioned the 50% opacity because I want to put the logo on the photos but not totally hide what's underneath the logo.
    How do I do the same with photoshop elements?

    Just another option that may work for you there are a number of relatively cheap and a couple of freeware programs that are listed here, there are many others I am sure.

    I have not used any of these so I can not recommend of course but most have trial versions.

  • How can I obtain a version of Print Studio Pro that works with Photoshop Elements 13 (64 bit)?

    How can I obtain a version of Print Studio Pro that works with Photoshop Elements 13 (64 bit)?  The advertising refers to Print Studio Pro 2 but all I find available to download is version 1.35.

    Thanks - I did notice that the 2 was a superscript on one site but on another (I think the one for the Pro-10 printer) it was definitely a 2 in line with the rest of the text and separated by a space (at least on my browser).  At any rate, I suspected something of the kind and will simply use Photoshop Elements 11 when I want a pattern print until the change is made.
    If you have an inside line to Canon you might also suggest some changes to their Image Garden program, specifically its handling of DVD label projects.  It has several themes and within each theme several layouts.  As far as they go these are fine but they do not give nearly enough flexibility.   The boxes for insertion of images are useful as is the simple procedure for rescaling the image so it is cropped in varying ways while staying within the fixed box.  However, it should be possible (a) to relocate the boxes on the page and (b) to resize and reshape the boxes - probably by a control which would become available by right-clicking on the box.  For example, there are times when the user might want to include a full 16 x 9 frame shot as one of the images, and in general the aspect ratios of the provided boxes do not permit this.
    I have over the years preferred to use Word for this purpose after setting up masks to expose just the printable area of the DVD or Blu-ray disc, setting up the margins so that the center of the disc is in the horizontal center of the page, and finally introducing text and pictures and adjusting the font size of blank lines above the disc to line everything up properly in the vertical direction.  A typical layout might involve one large picture, located so the center hole and the curved outer edge do not block anything important, or two pictures side by side, or four pictures centered vertically (to minimize the effect of the outer edge of the disc) but possibly of different widths (so as to make both close-ups and wide scenes optimal on the same disc label).  The text then goes above and below the pictures.  All of this works perfectly so I probably wouldn't use Image Garden very often for this purpose, but the inability to resize and relocate the boxes must be very limiting for others as well. 
    Some of the layouts have image locations severely reduced by the edge of the disc.
    As I said ... if you have an inside line to Canon .. but if not, please excuse the length of this post!

  • How do you create a 800 x 200 pixell slide show with Photoshop Elements 8?

    I have a banner for a web page that measures 800 x 200 pixels. I would like to create a slide show in the whole volume but I have been unable to discover where to change the standard size of the slide show window to 800x200 in Elements 8. Can anyone help?
    Al

    Many thanks for your reply. I edited a series of photographs to 800x200 as
    you described and then attempted to create a slideshow in Slideshow editor.
    I get a good horizontal fit in the slide frame but there are black bars top
    and bottom since the frame is more than 200 pix high. My question really is
    how do I create a 800x200 slide frame that the edited photographs will fit.
    Subject: How do you create a 800 x 200 pixell slide
    show with Photoshop Elements 8?
    In the slideshow editor interface click once on your image in the main
    window - you will see a bounding box appear together with editing options.
    Click on the More Editing button and when your image opens in full edit
    select the crop tool.
    Set width to 800 px and height to 200 px and resolution to 72
    Drag out your crop rectangle and move your image to the position you want -
    this avoids image distortion but you will sacrifice parts of the original to
    create a banner.
    Press Ctrl=S to save and check version set to save an edit without affecting
    the original.
    Press Ctrl+W to close and your cropped image should automatically pop up in
    the slideshow editor.

    How can Photoshop Album SE3 be integrated with Photoshop Elements 1.0?
    I am quite happy with Elements 1, but now have my images catalogued in SE3, can I link directly between the two programs?
    Maybe this has been asked before but the user forum is a nightmare to negotiate.

    Theer is no easy way to link them - this is something the paid-for PSA 2 can do. However, you can do simple drag and drop - drag a thumb out of PSA SE into PSE and the image will open. If you save back to the same file, you'll need to update the thumbnail. If you do a Save As, you'll need to import the new version.

    Odd comment. In what way do you find it hard?

  • Am I permitted to upload illustrations made with Photoshop Elements to my blog

    Am I permitted to upload illustrations made with Photoshop Elements (received in a pack with a Bamboo tablet) to my blog providing I do not make a profit from them? This is purely to share my illustrations with the online community and no profit whatsoever will be made.

    Luis,
    That's an entirely unhelpful response.
    1.  The computers in question are not "privately owned".
    2a.  The software licensed on those computers is licensed to someone else.
    2b.  The software would actually be licensed under an "educational institution" license not the "student" license.
    I'm asking here because its very likely that my teachers wouldn't know and it would probably take the IT department quite a while to tell me - It'd be more than likely faster to read the legals myself, if I was able to find them. 
    I'm hoping that someone who knows the specifics can inform me.
    Daniel.

  • How to transfer the photo captions from Photoshop Elements 12 organizer to Adobe Revel albums ?

    How to transfer the photo captions from Photoshop Elements 12 organizer to Adobe Revel albums ?

    Thks for the contribution. However, it seems I cannot solve my problem with the kindly proposed solution.
    Let me rephrase my problem:
    I off-line prepare, organize photos and also add manually individual photo captions with PE12 Organizer. In the properties panel, I can check that the photo properties (including captions) are properly associated with the photo.
    However when I upload on Revel -directly with PE12 Organizer (selecting Share/Private Web Album)- these individual (accordingly captioned) photos or albums, I cannot find the photo captions (i.e. the photo caption did not directly show up with the photo in Revel). This obliges me to a double work by copying  and pasting each photo caption.
    Is there any plan to get rid of that ?
    Let me add that I am using the French version of PE12
