Photoshop to Illustrator issues

So I am creating a t-shirt design, and when I transfer it over from Photoshop CS5.1 to Illustrator CS5.1 to convert it to vector art so I can send it in to the print shop, the design comes out blurry and choppy at the edges, not smooth like it is in Photoshop.
I was wondering if there is any quick fix to this so I don't have to completely redo the design. Any suggestions?
Not sure if this matters, but in Photoshop the design's image size is 8 x 8 (inches) with a resolution of 300 pixels per inch.

There is indeed a difference between rasterized and vector artwork, and the conversion from the former to the latter is never perfect (the other way round, however, no problem).
That said, and before you start panicking or redoing all your artwork ( and certainly before listening to people that tell you you should have done things differently when it's way too later for that): a lot of printers will accept rasterized artwork, too. Since you've been designing at a high enough dpi, and you're not trying to make an image for a billboard or something, ask your printer if they will take a photographic image for print. There really is no reason this should be impossible, and your print ought to turn out just fine at the size you designed it.

Dededededede I would recommend reviewing your installation log files to determine if the installation or download has failed. If the installation has failed then there will be a specific error within the log which will determine why there was a failure. You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation log files at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html.

Slowdown issue in Photoshop and Illustrator

I'm getting the spinning beach ball when doing various things in Photoshop and Illustrator. I'm running the newest version of CS6 on a 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB of RAM. When using type tool (default Myriad Pro font selected) I get, "Beach Ball" sometimes for up to a minute, then it works fine. When switching between Photoshop and Illustrator, "Beach Ball" again for up to a minute, then I get the new document dialog. Upon checking the console messages I'm seeing these errors a lot for both Photoshop and Illustrator:

Tablet PC calibration error in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator CS3 whilst in Extended Desktop Mode

Hey everyone!
I've run into a snag which hasn't bugged me before because I never used a second monitor, but now that I do, Photoshop and Illustrator don't function properly.
I am running my Adobe products on my Lenovo X61 Thinkpad Tablet, which is Wacom PenEnabled. It's got the basic digitizer pen and pen pressure features, no stylus tilt or anything.
Whenever I run Photoshop or Illustrator in Extended Desktop Mode so I can have a different window open on my external monitor and the Adobe app on my tablet screen, my stylus goes strange. It seems to think that the extended desktop is part of the Adobe window, so when I move my stylus to draw, the cursor will appear on the external monitor, usually proportionate to the size of the screen...ie. It interprets the external and tablet screens as one desktop and the top left corner of my tablet screen is the top left of my external, whilst the bottom right on tablet IS the bottom right on tablet, if that makes any sense...sorry.
So I can't draw anything in photosho unless I set it back to standard desktop mode, or mirrored desktop. I've searched over the net and these forums and I can't find a fix for this. I was walking in harvey norman the other day and the Wacom Cintiq 12" was there on display, and it had the same issue with extended desktop and photoshop.
Has anyone had this issue before and/or does anyone know of a fix for it? I'll keep searching around and playing with the computer until I fix it and I'll post any solutions I find here if noone else has one.
My system details are:
Abobe Photoshop CS3 10.0.0
Adobe Illustrator CS3 13.0.0
OS: Windows Vista Build 6001, Service Pack 1, 32bit
RAM: 2GB
HD: 18.2GB free Disk Space (out of 66.3GB on the Active Partition)
Video: Intel GMA: Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family

I'm using an HP tx2011au tablet pc, using adobe flash cs3 and have the exact same problem. it becomes decalibrated only while the flash window is open, and only while flash has a file open, and only when using an extended desktop. even if flash is open and it has no files open it works fine.

Adobe CS3: Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, and Flash (Not opening)

Hi,
I have had the adobe creative suite suite 3 Deisgn premium for over an year now. Recently over the past 2 months I am no longer able to open up any of the following programs:
Photoshop
Dreamweaver
Illustrator
Flash
They have worked for me in the past but now they are just not opening up for me. I have tried plenty of things such as:
Uninstalling the whole cd then reinstalling
Calling customer service
Browsing/googling for ways to fix it
Yet I still have been yet to get this issue resolved. I have tried installing the CS4 30 day trial and that works fine. But I want my CS3 version to work. I tried everything. The thing is I do not get an error message either on the these so there is no way of titling this issue. If it helps I have windows vista. Well please let me know what you come up with . My email is [email protected] Thank you!
Brett Ryan

What does happen?     When I double click on them nothing happens for a second it gives me the loading signal but nothing comes up.
You say no error message - how far in the boot process does the program get? Does it just not respond at all? Does the program load-box appear and freeze? Does the program load-box appear and dissapear? Does the computer freeze up in the middle of the load?
           You never end up seeing anything for any of the applications except for photoshop which loads but then closes right away. So it just doesnt respond at all. But there is no freezing. So the load-box only appears and dissapears when I open photoshop. but for everything else it just never appears.
Does the process display in your processes list?
            No it does not display
Did you install/uninstall/delete anything around the time this started?
I'm pretty sure I didnt uninstall or install anything around the time it started. I think I would remember if it did. So i'm pretty sure I did not.
Did you try going back to a restore point before this started? No I did not.
Have you run a thorough virus scan? Yes I have and nothing comes up.

Can I have a decreased / cheaper monthly priced membership for some time, by keeping active only Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC, InDesign CC and Acrobat?

Hello, and good evening from Athens, Greece.
I would like to ask a question concerning my CC membership.
I’ve started 1 and a half year ago by paying 29,99 € for the entire CC (all programs). Now, it’s 49,99 € and I’m having a really difficult time to keep it this way. I’m living in a country which is in the middle of crisis and my profession as a graphic designer, is not an exception to reduced spendings on advertising.
My question is, can I have a decreased / cheaper monthly priced membership for some time, by keeping active only Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC, InDesign CC and Acrobat? I don’t need for now the other apps. Can I have a membership plan only for those applications? I would very much appreciate your respond, a help and a solution to my issue.
Thank you very much.
Michael.
P.S. Forgot to tell, that I have a purchased Design Standard CS3 Suite. If this helps.

Photoshop CS5.5 - Unable to select Open With...Photoshop or Illustrator in Windows Explorer

Hi,
When I am in Windows Explorer or just in a Folder and I Right-Click on say a .jpg file and select Open With... I am not able to select Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator for that matter. I have Dreamweaver CS4 and that shows up as an option. I have gone through the process of trying to add the Adobe Photoshop .exe file, but it still doesn't work. However, if I open Adobe Bridge, I am able to select Photoshop or Illustrator to open a file. Is this connected to my install or is there something else going on? I did uninstall an ancient version of Adobe Photoshop 7.0 that I've had for years, but that was prior to installing Production Premium CS5. Could that have caused an issue? I read that uninstalling an old Photoshop can cause problems like this.
If that is the case, how do I fix it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am running Production premium CS5 with windows7 64 bit system. On right clicking the file in explorer,I am able to choose my default programme in which the file is to be opened and it is opening accordingly.
I have Cs4 photoshop in another system with XP professional and here also the above option is available.I wonder how u will not have that feature or how it will not work inspite of having it.___Bosu Babu

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:

Why Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 are so slow on my MacBook Pro early 2011?

First of all sorry for my english
I recently installed Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 and they tend to lag even on just during normal work operations like zooming, opening a file, selecting a tool, browsing menus etc etc.
Cpu, Ram and Gpu usage are normal, I mean when I use these software there's at list 85% of free Cpu, 1GB of Ram still available, and 80% of free GPU. And I got 30GB left on my hardrive which is little but I believe is enough.
So I cannot believe this slow performance is due hardware limitations. There must be some driver issue or something else.
Anyone knows why CS6 is so slow?
Software version:
Photoshop CS6 13.0.1
Illustrator CS6 13.0.0
My Specs:
Os: Snow Leopard 10.6.8
Cpu: Intel Core i7 2.3 GHz
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 8 MB
4GB ram
AMD Radeon HD 6750M

My experience is that Photoshop can demand and use prodigious amounts of memory and disk space, much more than one might expect from the size of the files being worked on. While I don't have direct experience with CS6, my daughter uses CS4 on a Macbook Air with 4 GB memory and she had 100 GB free (on a 250 GB solid state drive). CS4 is less demanding than CS6, and in fact with the SSD, it runs pretty well, even with just 4 GB memory (the solid state drive is basically like memory, in fact, in some ways). However after running Photoshop on some projects for a while, we noticed she had only 60 GB free disk space. After restarting her Mac, she had 100 GB free again. Photoshop CS4 was using up 40 GB of disk space! And this was simply editting some (multiple) photos from a digital camera. Photoshop not only has its own memory management processes, but it also pages to disk and uses disk space as "scratch space" in its own fashion. I think that it is inadvisable to run Photoshop with less than 100 GB free disk space, and that's with CS4, not even CS6. And if you don't have a solid state drive, the throughput might slow down immensely unless you have a lot of memory (I think someone else pointed this out already).
Bottom line -- based on what I have seen with CS4, 4 GB memory is too low by at least a factor of x2 (16 GB memory would be even better), and I'd say a minimum of 100 GB free disk space is a must as well. I saw CS4 using more than 40 GB of "scratch disk space" and you are using CS6, which must use significantly more resources than CS4, and you indicate only 30 GB free space. That seems too low to me. I think other Adobe major software packages are similarly demanding, unlike any other software I have seen or used. For instance, I think you would have no trouble running MS-Office software (which is also known for using computer resources, but not anywhere as much as Adobe software).
One thing you can do is when you notice things slowing down, not only quit all other software except for CS6, but also in the Finder, under the Go menu, enter
/private/var
under Go To Folder ...
and then look in the folder called
vm
If you see swapfiles, add up the total space they are taking, and also the space taken by the sleepimage file. These are working to decrease the amount of free space you have and they can quickly grow to tens of GB when Photoshop and other Adobe softwares are running.
Since it sounds like you have now upgraded your RAM, that should help, but you may find that the swapfiles and sleepimage files are taking even more disk apce faster and I think 100 GB free space is needed to avoid further slowdowns.

Photoshop and Illustrator sometimes hang when working together (CS 5.5)

Hi all,
I'm working with Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium 5.5 and sometimes, when I have Photoshop and Illustrator opened together, if I try to open something a little more complex (but not to heavy), one of the programs hang or freeze.
This is a Windows 7 (64bits) Service Pack 1 environment, on a HP Workstation 2.67Ghz Quad with 8GB of RAM, using a NVIDIA Quadro FX 3800. At a first glance - and regarding the files usage - it doesn't seem to have a reason to happen.
I've updated the program versions and let Photoshop use more than 60% of the available RAM. When this happens, 50% of the physical RAM is available.
Besides having these two apps running, I have Outlook 2010, Linotype Font Explorer Pro and some LAN policies active.
Does anyone had a similar problem that could kindly help?
Many thanks,
Tiago

What does Windows Event Viewer say about the matter? if it is as arbitrary as you say, then it's most likely network issues or graphics issues. In the latter case simply install a suitable driver and configure it properly, in case of network issues (to which in particular Ilklustrator is extremely sensitive), store the files on a local harddrive.

File displaying different from Photoshop to Illustrator

I have a simple chalkboard background I made in Photoshop and I'm importing into Illustrator. My issue is the file displays completely different from Photoshop to Illustrator. See image below.
I've had this happen to other files but this one is so incredibly different, I can't understand what's happening and I can't manage the design with it being this different. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Rachel

Thanks again Monika. I can't figure this out. The color management is all synchronized among all my Adobe applications. Yes the file is in layers and when I view the JPG in Photoshop, it looks as it should. It's only when I bring it into Illustrator does it look like that. I opened up a new Illustrator doc and placed the same JPG (as well as dragged the PSD file directly from the Photoshop window into Illustrator) and it looks better and more like it should. My other doc was a new doc too so I'm not sure what happened. At any rate, I can't explain what happened and I'm just hoping it doesn't happen again.
Thanks for your help!
