Importing Microsoft WordArt logo into Photoshop and resizing results

Hi there
I am doing an evaluation of Photoshop to see if I can make small logos with it - suitable for business cards and also for larger displays.
Recently I made up a name in WordArt which I'd like to use as a company title and maybe a logo on a business card. I'd like to import it into Photoshop and manipulate the size of the WordArt image so that it can be placed in advertisements, business cards and so on.
I realise that Photoshop may be a more sophisticated product than what I really need but I would like to persevere and get something finished.
Can anyone suggest which is the best tutorial video for this work or perhaps give me a few pointers so that I can get started?
The image is made up of two elements: a WordArt title set at a 30° angle and underneath it is a separately drawn arrow which is used as an underlining for the title.

Here's the process I just used to import Word Art created in Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 into Photoshop CS6. Let's see if it works on Windows, too!
1. Open the Word document that contains your Word Art.
2. Click on the word "File" in the top menu and mouse down to "Save As" (File > Save As).
3.  In the new dialog box that then appears, choose PDF as the file type.
The Windows Save As dialog box may not look exactly like this Mac dialog box.
4. Open Photoshop, go to the word "File" and mouse down to "Open" (File > Open), then select the PDF you just saved.
5. In the Import PDF dialog box that appears, click the "OK" button.
Now you should have a high-resolution file that you can save as the PSD format.
The next step is to read our FAQ on resizing Photoshop files for different uses: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4696567#4696567
Let me know if these steps work. If they don't we'll figure it out together!

  • When i import my AutoCad PDF into photoshop my lines and text become blurry. How do i fix this

    When i import my AutoCad PDF into photoshop my lines and text become blurry. How do i fix this?
    Is it resizing as I import it  or maybe a printer thing?

    It is rasterizing the PDF at the resolution you tell it to, unless it's an image only PDF - then the image will be opened as-is.

  • Import sequence of frames into photoshop animation...ready to play.

    Hi guys, is there any way to get a sequence of frames into Photoshop and have the layer visibility set up to play straight away ?
    What I mean is, I'm using Bridge to import ....Tools > Photoshop > Load Files into Photoshop layers, and was wondering if the frame visibility could be automatically set to play the animation.
    Currently all the layers come in visible and I have to "Alt" click the layer visiblity in each frame....can be a pita with large anims.
    It would be cool if I imported frames 1 to 50 and PS set them up to play in order as imported.
    thanks

    It is....and one until now I wasn't aware of 
    Many thanks.

  • Importing Microsoft Word comments into InDesign CS5.5 [Mac]

    Has anyone had success importing Microsoft Word comments into InDesign 5.5? I've read that this is possible, however, all my attempts have failed. I've checked that Track Changes is on in both InDesign and MS Word.
    The one pattern with all the files I've attempted is that, by the time I receive the file, the author has already accepted all tracked changes. The comments remain, but they do not import into InDesign.
    I have 'track changes' ticked on the import dialog.
    Is there anything I'm missing? Tips from people who've done this successfully would be greatfully apprecated.

    Hi BhSimonP,
    Did you got any solution to this problem. I am having same requirement now.
    Please help me with your answer.

  • Importing Encore CS6 menus into Photoshop CC

    So, I'm faithfully cruising the web and the forums looking for answers to this question, and that is: "How do I import an Encore menu into Photoshop now that the Dynamic link functionality no longer works with Encore CS6 and any of the CC suite. I'm working mostly with Encore CS6, PProCC, AuditionCC, and learning as I go." Do the menus exist as an "asset" file somewhere that would allow me to get it into Photoshop? Thanks for the help! Any tips greatly appreciated. ~Bond

    In Encore, add the menu to the project. Then right click and "edit in photoshop." This is part of your learning curve, even if you eventually want to create them from scratch.
    After saving the revised menu in PS, back in Encore, use "Save Menu as File" to save it whereever you want.
    The "Save as Template" is only different if you have a motion asset as part of the menu.
    Yes, you can simple open an Encore menu in PS by finding them in the Program Files/Adobe/Encore CS6/Library, but you may inadvertently change them. Copy one to a different directory and play there.
    The advantage of edit in PS is that Encore will help you avoid changes that will mess Encore up later.

    I have iMovie 8.0.6 and an iPhone 4S.  I took hours of videos on vacation (Australia and New Zealand) and want to make a movie.  I've imported the first batch into iMovie and started the project.  I just realized that I shot both horizontally and vertically and when I preview (on full-screen) what I've combined, first it's wide-screen, then it's tall, narrow with wide black sides. 
    The film looks choppy, no flow, since it alternates horizontally and vertically.
    I can import the vertical clips two ways:  "Full-Original Size", or "Large 960x540."  But the vertical clips have very short, fat people.
    This didn't happen with my Flip HD; the movies are smooth and terrific.  My heart is breaking.....please, how can I make the videos match?

    Yes, I'd like to use all the video I shot, put it together with music, titles, etc. and make it consistant.  when it goes from full screen to this vertical, narrow clip, it's very awkward.....and it's so narrow, it's hard to see what I'm looking at; my eyes don't make the adjustment quickly.

  • I am switching over from a PC to a MacBook Pro and an iPad.  How do I import my Outlook contacts into MacBook and iPad?

    I am switching over from a PC to a MacBook Pro and an iPad.  How do I import my Outlook contacts into MacBook and iPad?

    One option is forwarding your Outlook contacts as vCard files which can be imported by the Address Book on your Mac, followed by being synced with your iPad.
    In Outlook, select all contacts and at the menu bar select forward as vCard. Each contact will be a separate vCard file. Send the email to an email account you are accessing with the Mail app on your Mac.
    Save the attached vCard files in a folder created on your Desktop or in whichever chosen location for the folder. At the Address Book menu bar, go to File and select Import navigating to the folder that incudes the vCard files. Open the folder to select.

  • I have imported a jpeg photo into iPhoto and cannot get the Places map to let me fix a position on the map. It remains disabled for my photo. Checking out the Help file has not given any solution.

    I have imported a jpeg photo into iPhoto  and cannot get the Places map tp show. I have tried the Help file and the information was not helpful. Can anyone give advice here?

    I am using iPhoto 9.1.1. When I select thephoto, then Places I get the window (Places to lookup disabled). When I hit theInfo button I get the size an JPEG notification, and  Faces and Key words. The “reverse” of thepicture shows a window with Rotate, Hide, Trash etc.
    When I select Places, get the Google worldmap, and this case a pin on Sydney Australia showing that eighteen photos arecorrectly placed. I am unable to make the connection to San Francisco wherethis particular photo was taken on a very modern camera.

  • How do import an image into CS3 and resize it?

    Hi, let me say first I know very little of Illustrator C3.  I have a poster that was created by someone else.  I'm supposed to take that image and resize to fit on a pop up banner.  I created a new doc in Ill. with the correct dimensions and copied and pasted the image.  Now how to I get the original image with layers to conform to the new doc. sizing?  I need to take the image and enlarge it and make it fit within the confines of my new doc.  How do I do that without distorting the image.

    Shift, Ctrl and Alt modifier keys offer constraining options in all Adobe programs. Shift will retain proportions, Alt scale from the center etc. and when combined you can scale constrained from the center. anyway, the question is, what you are referring to by "image". Bitmaps as in photographs or other pixel images? Then AI is the wrong choice. You need to do such things in Photoshop. If its a PDF or another AI file, scaling should be no problem. you may just wish to group items before doing so to retain their relative placement within teh group and avoid unpleasant surprises when you only mass-select them.

  • How to Import Vector Identified Files into Photoshop Without Losing Quality

    Hello,
    I am creating a series of music worksheets on photoshop. I have created some music scores in a music writing software called Sibelius 7. It has the capability to export the sheet music graphics in the following forms: .pdf, .eps, .bmp, .tiff, .png, .svg .
    However, I have tried to 'place' each of them into my photoshop file to see which one will work. But on saving the photoshop document as a .pdf with any of the graphics formats, the vector quality of the image has been lost, as it pixelates on zooming in. I have also tried to import an .svg file into adobe illustrator to save it as an .ai file and then import that into photoshop, but the image is again pixelated.
    I don't really know what is happening, as I am essentially trying to import a file that is a vector (or at least does not pixelate on zooming) into photoshop, hoping for the same qualities to be retained, but it is being lost for some reason.
    What should I do?
    Thank you.

    Thank you for your reply. I opened the vectored pdf into illustrator. I tested illustrator by saving that document as a new pdf and the vector quality was still retained. I the following images, I copied and pasted the vector from illustrator into photoshop. However, on saving this new photoshop document as a pdf, it does not retain the vector format, as you can see with the pixelation that occurs when zooming in on an object.
    Thank you.

  • How do I resolve this error while importing iPhoto 11 photos into Photoshop Elements 11?

    I am trying to import my iPhoto library into Elements.  It gets part way through the process and then tells me that the import failed and provides the following message:
    2090 Media files have been imported.  19 Media files were not imported because the either already present in the catalog or are not supported
    It unfortunately give you no indication about what you can do to resolve or fix this problem.  Can someone provide some guidance here?

    Hi, I am not a user of elements however my wife is.  She has been complaining of this issue since we have over 75000 pictures and 15000 will not import into the catalog. After searching forum after forum I could not find a solution. So I gave it some thought. After a little testing I found out why. Remember that Elements catalog is like a long list of file names.  Like many people who take lots of pictures unless you sit and rename every picture to a unique file name then you will have this problem.  Example: Your camera shoots pictures and names them Img_0001, Img_0002, Img_0003 etc. when you download them to a folder called "76 class reunion" and add to elements. Then delete the pictures from your camera and take new ones. Your camera starts again with Img_0001, Img_0002, Img_0003 etc.  You import them to a folder called "78 trip to thailand". Then try adding them to Elements and the message "...media files were not imported because they are already Most cameras keep numbering up but not all. At some point they repeat so it could be a year in between before your pictures present...."
    Or course they are after thousands of picutres you will duplicate the files names several times. Just rename the image files in "78 trip to thailand" to be like 1978-Thailand-img_0001, 1978-Thailand-img_0002 etc and then import/add to elements and success.  You might ask why they are in differing folders I am importing them from it should catalog the folder and file. Well I could go into a long discussion about databases however just know this. If you try to copy Img_0001 from "78 trip to thailand" to the folder "76 class reunion" you will get a message saying do you want to overwrite the file. This is because they have the same name (can exits in different folders but not the same). Elements takes all the file names and places them in a list so each file name is UNIQUE and cannot be duplicated. Then it catalogs where they are found (ei the folder/directory).
    If you are now depressed that you need to rename all your files one at a time.  Try Bulk Rename Utility. It is great and has many renaming capabilties to rename files to your delight.

  • Open Photoshop image from PDF into Photoshop and change cmyk text to 100% black

    when I have a supplied PDF file that has cmyk text, I open the image in Photoshop but I don't know how to change the cmyk text (some very small and some large) to 100% Black. I used to know the short cut key to do this but I can't remember. I used to use the marque tool then use a short cut key that would knock the cmy out of the k. Can some one please tell me how I can achieve this in a flattened photoshop file opened from PDF into Photoshop. Thanks

    One way to do this:
    Use a hue/saturation adjustment layer, click the Colorize box and drag the Lightness slider to -100. The black will go to C:0, M:0 Y:0, K:100. I'm not aware of a shortcut for this, perhaps someone more informed could help there. You would only want to apply it to the text, clipped to a separate text layer ideally, but if your file is already flattened you could apply it via a selection/masking.
