How to save a vector logo?

hey, I am working on a Mac book pro, and using photoshop CC 2014. I'm making a company logo, and was asked for a vector of the logo. Does that mean its just on a transparent background and saved as a vector? If so, how do I save it as a vector? There's a lot of info in relations to a vector on google so I'm a bit confused. Thanks!

If they need a vector object. Photoshop is not really the right program. Illustrator would be a better choice.
In Photoshop the only formats that support vector are psd, pdf, and ai.
Psd and pdf would create vector objects that would be more beneficial to someone using Photoshop.
The ai format is the only true vector format that others can use. However it only exports paths and therefore can only be found in the paths panel. The issue is Photoshop does not apply a stroke or a fill to that path. If someone is not aware of that, they would think the document is blank.
This file would have to be opened in illustrator and give the path a fill or stroke then save it.
The reason pdf does not work as expected is the format supports both raster and vector objects. The creator of the file has to be very careful to use vector objects only. If you load the file into illustrator there is the possibility that it will not open. When illustrator saves a pdf it can embed an ai file into the pdf so it can open it. Photoshop can embed a psd file into a pdf but not an ai file. Illustrator requires the embedded ai in order to open the file.
This is a long drawn out way to say Photoshop is not the right program, but it helps to understand why.

How can I save a vector smart object to Illustrator .ai file

I need to save a vector smart oblect from Photoshop CS6 to an Illustrator file. What's the trick?
Thanks!

Hi Chris,
I need a vector smart logo that is on a PSD layer as a vector file in illustrator so I can plot cut on a vinyl cutter. How can I make sure the logo transfers as .ai at the exact size showen in the Photoshop document? I remember doiing this a few years ago but forgot the proceedure. It's probably a very easy step and once I have the answer I'll say "oh that's right I remember now" The export path to Ilustrator only gives me the saved paths in this document.
Thanks for any help you can provide!

How do I save an image (logo) transparent so that it will appear transparent on any color background such as a gradient or black?

How do I save an image (logo) transparent so that it will appear transparent on any color background such as a gradient or black?
I save image as "transparent" at File > New... but when I place on a gradient background it keeps appearing white. I'm trying to save transparent to be effective on any color such as a gradient or black. How do I truly save as transparent?

Put the logo on its own layer set the layer fill to 0 and add a layer style to the logo layer. Here I duped one change fill to 0 added style.

How to save vector work sharp for web?

Hello guys, I need all your help!
I am trying to import a full color vector work from illustrator into an iPad.
The original illustrator file is about 10MB and I am trying to achive size that is under 128K.
I used "save for web" but result is not sharp enough at all.
Is there a better way to save without loosing much detail and still keep the size small from illustrator?
Should I import to photoshop first to save? I am just throwing ideas.
Thanks,
W.

I have finally figure out how to save files in smaller size with out loose much quality but now I am encounter with the another issue.
Files' (JPEG) typefaces are sharp and legible look perfect on iPad, when the same file (JPEG) imported to iPhone, the typeface was not able to read.
iPad is much bigger than iPhone. Images work perfect for iPad in theory it shouldn't have lack pixel issue.
It really beats me. I don't know how to figure this out. If you have any idea, please let me know your insight.
Thanks,

I could really use some help in how to best save a Vector

Try making an xml document to describe your vector shape. Save points as xml nodes. I've used this system successfully in a browser and saved drawings to a MySQL database.
<drawing>
<point x='12' y='23' />
<point x='34' y='45'/>
</drawing>
I use other noce types to change line style or to pcik up the "pen" and start a new line.

Sending vector logo to client as one flat layer??

AI newbie here. How do you send the client a vector logo? When I save my logo as EPS, it is still in a thousand pieces. Is it possible to "Flatten" logo like in Photoshop before sending as vector?
My logo has some transparency which I'd like to keep.
How do you send a scalable vector logo that has transparency in a way that a client can easily open and view the file?
Thanks in advance!

To elaborate on what Laary wrote which is the correct answer.
AI format is not readable by any other application except Illustrator at least as a graphic.
What makes Illustrator usable in other applications is its pdf compatibilty, which is an option when saving the file.
It essentially saves two versions of the file one in the ai format and the other in the pdf format it is the pdf portion of the file that you see when placing the file.
If you wish to have the file flat as you refer to it then when saving as a pdf uncheck the option in the pdf dialog Create Acrobat Layers from Top Level Layers.
Also when you flatten a file in Illustrator it is not the same thing as flattening a file in Photoshop

Can Linked vector logos be used in CC Libraries across invited team members?

Can Linked vector logos be used in CC Libraries across invited team members?
Working in a team of five designers, we currently use libraries to consolidate our many logos for multiple brands.
It would be great to utilise the CC Libraries now available in Indesign to maintain consistency across applications, however after trying, it seems linked vector files placed into a new CC Library are not linking when shared with my colleagues.
I have tried linking logos from both our internal server and my desktop and then creating a new CC Library, either way, when opened from an invited user, the logo has no link.
Only recreating a logo as an Indesign graphic will the logo populate across invited users. i,e copying and paste from illustrator to Indesign, then insert the recreated logo into a CC Library. This isn't ideal especially with the amount of logos we use.
Alternatively, adding a logo into a CC Library from Illustrator, the logo is an imbedded file when placed into Indesign. Unsure how these files will behave when sending artwork to print. Again, this isn't ideal, opening every logo in Illustrator to add to a CC Library would be fairly time consuming given the quantity we deal with.
Does anyone have any thoughts or share the similar views on this?
Many thanks

@Designer1976 – if you place an AI logo in InDesign and move that placed logo to a CC Library, it should behave like any other image you move to a CC Library. Other people who have access to your CC Library could place the logo, print it, export to PDF, if the file is available on a mutual network drive or a cloud drive like Dropbox etc. And of course, if the loaded file is synched which can take a moment, if you just moved it to a remote drive in the cloud.
I tested this with eps file types.
AI files (PDFs with AI code embedded) placed in InDesign should make no difference.
However:
1. If I placed an eps file in InDesign
2. Moved the eps file to my Dropbox account
3. Came back to InDesign
4. Relinked the placed eps with the one in my Dropbox
(all good now in the perspective of an InDesign document)
I was not able to add that relinked eps file to my CC Library.
By trying I only heard a "blip" or so. And nothing was added.
To make it work, I first had to:
1. Save the InDesign document
2. Close the document (maybe optional, can't remember)
3. Reopen the document (maybe optional, can't remember)
Then I could add the placed eps to my CC Library.
After that it worked like it should.
Not as seamless as it should be…

Vector logo to web graphic- which way?

Hello,
I am designing a web page in Illustrator and will be slicing the images. I have a fairly simple vector logo, no more than 128 colors needed.
My question is if I should:
a) convert the logo to a different format (gif or png) and then place it in my template and then slice and save for web, and if so, which file format in "save for web" would be best?
or
b) place the vector logo as is into my template and then slice and save for web- again, which file format would be best to save as?
Or perhaps there is another option I haven't considered? Any tips for keeping the logo sharp?
Thanks in advance.
Jen

.svg has never been greatly supported and requires the user to install a plug in to see it. It's really not wise to use SVG for general web graphics.
PNG is not greatly supported in IE6, especially PNG24. IE6 does still comprise about 20% of web users unfortunately.
PNG8 or GIF would be best if you need transparency. Without transparency, JPG may also be appropriate. Which one you use depends greatly on the logo and the resulting file size (kb) and appearance. There is no hard and fast rule as to which format to use.
As for the template... it really makes no difference how you do it. Just follow whatever path seems to work well for you.

How to save an project in iMovie 10

I am familiar with iMovies 9 and using OSX 10.6.8. Unfortunately I have a new MacPro on OS 10.9.2 and iMovie10 (give me back my old MAcbook any day). I have finished making the movie and saved it on the desktop in mp4 format. All I want to do now is to find out is how to save the movie I have made so I can possibly get to it again to maybe add/delete things from it. In other words, I simply want to save it -
how do I do this?
can I save the movie in m4v format like I did in iMovie 9?
the mp4 format is 900Mb for 10 min, the 12 minute movie I did in iMovie 9 is 400Mb when both saved as 720p. Why?
Can you delete iMovie 10 from Mavericks and install iMovie 9
Many thanks in anticipation from a very frustrated Mac user of 8 years now thinking of going to Windows

Ok I think I've worked it out (did not know your could share to the theater, the icloud message made me assume theater was just for icloud) but I've another technical question about export quality and pictures in videos.
I just published four different quality movies (480p, 560p, 720p, 1080p) which only had a few average quality digital pics in them, just to create a short movie to compare.
I've always assumed that the quality of pictures was handled differently to video in that pictures would be fine quality even with lower quality setting, and the thing that really got hurt by lesser xxxP quality was the moving video not the pictures. But when I resized all four Quicktime movies so they were the same size and put them next to each other I could notice quite a difference in the sharpness between each of them. Since I'd rather have the pictures all used at their best quality will I have to choose the 60GB 1080p export function anyway at some point? It seems like such a waste of space and time when technically there are only about ten frames in the entire clip!
Surely there's some kind of video encoding language where you can make the file size reflect this? Kinda like what vector graphics did to bitmap formats for image files.
There must be a way round this ...

How to save battery life (ipad mini)

When I'm away from home and I don't have my charger. What are some ways that will save my battery life? I know the basics like screen brightness and double tapping the home button to delete history. Are there more ways I can save lots of battery life?

See some of the links below.
Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

How to save a png with a straight or fat alpha?

Long story short, work in broadcast and a new piece of gear prefers png files. I know how to save png's with a transparency, that's not the problem. What I don't know how to do or if it's possible is to save them with a straight or fat alpha. Right now we feather or extend the edges out past the alpha of say a logo and save it as a tif, psd or .tga. That way once it's keyed over video or whatever, the edges look good, no black bad edging.... this makes sense, probably not explaining it very well. But switching to png files I have no idea how to make a straight or fat alpha since it sees transparency. I mean if I feathered out the edges, a png will see that correct, since there's no alpha??
I hope this makes sense ?

Chris, this is probably the answer I seek "PNG always saves with straight color - that's how the PNG spec defines it."
I admit my explanation was a bit weak and I understand PNG only supports transparency, which is not an alpha, and the apps aren't treating them wrong....I just couldn't formulate an intelligent question and explain it, my bad.
After thinking about it I don't think using a PNG will work. RIght now for broadcast gear/applications if we don't fill the transparent and semi-transparent areas of an image with the colored part of the image, we usually end up getting a dirty key/matte or a lot of fringing. So when using a .tif or .tga that reads an actuall alpha, we can fix the issue by doing what I described. In fact we use a quick little plugin from flaming Pear called "Solidifty" to speed up the process http://www.flamingpear.com/download.html . With that said, I know we can't do the same steps with a png because it only sees transparency, but I guess I was wondering if there was a work-around or a trick to fix that issue. I could be wong, but doesn't a png save with white ?
But again, as I thought about it, I think i'm asking for something it's not meant to do, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
Thanks Chris, does this make more sense or more confusing? The bottom-line is I don't think it will work.

How / can I have jpg logo objects used on reports automatically updated

How / can I have jpg logo objects used on reports automatically updated after making changes to the repository copy of the jpg logo object in the repository? The reports are in the enterprise items folder of the repository and the logo.jpg file is in a subfolder of repository items. I made changes but the changes seem to apply only after I set my options in crystal reports and open the actual rpt file itself.
Is there a way to have the changes to the logo show / apply in all reports that have the repository item logo inserted into it without having to open every rpt file in the repository?

Yes, I understand that... the problem I was having was that check box being unchecked whenever an unrelated change was made to rpt file... I was able to ensure that it remained checked by doing save as to the rpt file and making sure the "enable repository refresh" box was checked and replacing the file when prompted upons saving the rpt file...
