Work in both Illustrator and Photoshop

Sorry for the elementary question. I know there are ways to get work to and from Illustrator and Photoshop but is there a way to ink a drawing in Illustrator, paint it in Photoshop and tweak paths etc back in Illustrator?
I am assuming this is a simple process but I can't seem to find the answer.
I am using CS2 apps.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. That is exactly what I needed. I found a tutorial on how to work with Smart Objects.
Thanks -

  • Illustrator and photoshop 2014 work perfectly, while Indesign crashes the entire operating system (mac osx 10.7)

    Hi all,
    Recently updated to CC 2014, and while both Illustrator and Photoshop run perfectly, every time I launch Indesign it crashes my entire operating system, forcing me to restart the computer.
    I'm running Mac OS 10.7. Should also mention that clean unistall/install did nothing to fix the issue.
    Anyone else having the same issue? Please help.

    Hi Sumit
    Why can’t I have any answer from Adobe? I bought a licence and now I can’t work with the software.

  • RGB Color management between Illustrator and Photoshop

    Hi,
    I have a color management issue when exporting JPGs from Illustrator and opening them in Photoshop:
    In Illustrator (file is in RGB mode), I have a logo which has the color RGB 0/0/153 and I export a JPG. When I open the file in Photoshop, the color is RGB 1/0154.
    I have activated Adobe CC Color Manegement via Adobe Bridge (option "Europe, Universal 3"), which should produce consistent results in all Adobe applications.
    So which is the color that is actually in the file? And what do I have to do to get the color I want (0/0/153) actually exported from Illustrator? I need this color to comply with corporate design specifications of my client.
    Since I have to produce a lot of files it is not possible to readjust all colors in Photoshop ...
    Thank you!
    Michael

    First, check to make sure that the RGB working colorspace is the same for both Illustrator and Photoshop.
    When exporting the jpeg from Illustrator make sure the 'embed' color profile is selected, and it is the color profile that is required for your client. If this is for web use, then sRGB is your best choice.
    When you open the exported image in Photoshop, make sure that the color settings for Photoshop are set to 'Preserve Embedded Profiles'. After you open the image in Photoshop, you can double check by going to Edit > Convert to Profile... The source profile should match the embedded exported profile from Illustrator. If these match, your RGB color values from Illustrator and Photoshop should also match.
    If the source profile does not match, cancel out of the 'Convert to Profile" and go to 'Assign Profile". Assign the profile that you embedded when exporting from Illustrator. Now Photoshop should have the same values as Illustrator.

  • Why are the colors in Illustrator and Photoshop so off?

    Hi,
    Let me just start off by saying I have the color mode in both Illustrator and Photoshop set to RGB. Yet, there is a noticeable color difference between a picture on the internet and when I paste it in for example Photoshop.
    Picture from the internet:
    Picture when pasted in Photoshop:
    It's the same thing in Illustrator. And this is not just with pictures by the way, it's affects all the colors I use, which is a major pain in the rear.
    Anyone know a fix?

    Well, my suggestion in post #13, was to help me find out what the cause of your problem is. It doesn’t solve your problem permanently but temporarily, only for the current session of Photoshop or Illustrator by making these programs show your image without applying any color management conversions.  So, you have to do this every time you open such files in these programs.
    If you want to understand what is going on and be in control, you have to go through a lot of walls of text unfortunately .
    I’ll try to explain it roughly but if you don’t understand it you need to read more about color management.
    You are using Safari and this is how its color management  works:
    https://developer.apple.com/library/safari/technotes/tn2220/_index.html
    on that page it says:
    "Important: For images that are not tagged with a color profile, their color values will be displayed on the screen by Safari with no optimization or adjustment for differences between devices in how they render colors. This may result in the colors not being displayed as originally intended"
    This made me think that like most images on the web, the image you are using doesn’t have a color profile. In that case, assuming a certain scenario based on your input, the reason it is displayed differently from Photoshop and Illustrator is because you have a color profile of your monitor used by your system that is different than the color space used for the display of the image. By default RGB Images without a color profile are displayed using  the color space set for the working space in the Color Settings of Photoshop and Illustrator. Also by default this color space is sRGB.  If your monitor was also with an sRGB profile assigned in the system, which is the case with all monitors that come without a color profile provided from the manufacturer, you should have not experienced this problem because Photoshop and Illustrator will see that the color space you want to display your image is sRGB and your monitor is sRGB, and there will be no color conversions because both color spaces, source and destination are the same.  Unless someone else has setup your system ,color management, and installed a monitor profile,  my guess is that the manufacturer of your monitor has provided a color profile installed in your system that is not sRGB.
    When you choose View > Proof Setup > Monitor RGB, this in effect turns off the color management because you are displaying the image in the same color space as the one assigned to your monitor.
    If you want to turn off the color management permanently which will be valid only when displaying images in the sRGB color space, you can assign the sRGB color profile to your monitor. This will show the images on your monitor with the same colors as those displayed without color management in the other applications and choosing View > Proof Setup > Monitor RGB will make no difference.
    Non color managed programs can display the color only in the way your monitor displays it. Color managed programs simulate other outputs on your monitor. The only way to match the display in color managed and non color managed software is to turn off the color managed software. This will display the same color values with the same color in all programs on your monitor.
    The purpose of the color management is to allow the viewer  see the colors as intended (the way the creator sees them when creating the image). Different devices and media output the same color values differently resulting in different color. Therefore, when the viewer uses different device or media the colors if not color managed properly will look different or not as close as possible.
    When you turn off the color management, or even when it is on but not properly applied, which I suspect is the case in your situation, you can’t be sure that the colors you see are as intended. In other words, you can’t tell if an image is supposed to look the way you see it, and you can’t create images providing means that will allow others to see them the way you see them. 
    So, for whatever reasons you want to make colors look the same in all your programs, have in mind that this is valid only on the current state of your monitor, and this also cuts the possibility to see and send to others colors as intended.

  • CC 2014.2 Illustrator and Photoshop will not work properly on 10.7.5

    I have recently download Illustrator and Photoshop CC 2014.2 on my MacBook Pro version 10.7.5.
    I notice some of the functions where not working properly. For example Bounding box in Illustrator will not appear for rectangle tool. Color strip on the color box will appear as sold color instead of strips of different colors for me to choose.
    I called the Adobe to find out why is this happening and they told me it was because I don't have the latest OS on my MAC. Do to company policy I can't upgrade my OS to the latest version. Adobe send me the link that is not working for two times and need the correct link ASAP.
    Can you guys please send me the right link for me to downgrade?
    Thank you

    Piruki have you tried utilizing the Previous version option within the Creative Cloud Desktop application?  You can find additional details under the install Previous version section of CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.

    This problem appears after opening 4 a 5 files, rebooting helps another 4 a 5 times and appears again.

    Good luck.

  • Illustrator and Photoshop CS6 both will not allow me to print from them

    Illustrator and Photoshop CS6 both will not allow me to print from them. InDesign will, but illustrator keeps popping up with "can't print the illustration." i have read other forums and i understand outlining typefaces, and spot colors but, it still will not allow me to print. Even if i open a completely new file and just try to print a black square it will not allow it. the problem might have started with an emailed EPS file? but im not 100 percent sure. i have disconnected and re connected the printer but the problem just seems as if all Illustrator, and Photoshop files will not print from the program and the connection with the printer is non existent (even though it says it is). please help!

    Reset your illustrator prefs
    Hold fingers over Shift Alt CTLR (PC) or Shift Opt Command (Mac)
    Boot Illustrator
    Immediately after booting depress the 3 keys as fast as you can.

  • InDesign CS5 is not opening after deactivation/activation. How can I fix this? Illustrator and Photoshop open and are working fine. Please help!

    InDesign CS5 is not opening after deactivation/activation. How can I fix this? Illustrator and Photoshop open and are working fine. Please help!

    First of all, thank you for replying so promptly to my posts this morning!
    I can't remember how I got the software on his computer, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't through migration assistant.
    I was looking into doing an uninstall of InDesign and a fresh install. However, I initially downloaded the CS5 suite digitally and I can't find out how I am able to perform a fresh install of InDesign. Do you know where I find this info or gain access to download just InDesign again? I can't seem to find anything in my Adobe account that shows where I might do another download.

  • Issues with Win 7 & CS2. Illustrator and Photoshop have "Stopped Working"

    Hi,  New to this so I apologize in advance.  Bought a new computer in December '09. 6gig quad processor and plenty of 500gigs of disc space. NOt a Memory Issue! Installed CS2 ( 'cause the computer took all of my money!)  and all worked fine until 4 days ago.  I mainly use illustrator and photoshop. When I tried to save a document... The programs simply "Stopped Working"  I'm a rookie with the tech stuff so please speak slowly and simply....  I would appreciate any help as I'm losing money and work right now!  Thanks

    CS2 is totally unsupported under Win 7. And if you have 6 gigs of RAM I'll guess that it's a 64 bit system which simply adds to the complexity.
    Sorry, but the best advice you'll get is to upgrade.

  • I enabled Arabic in Language options and it already works in Adobe InDesign. How do I enable Arabic language compatibility in Illustrator and Photoshop?

    I enabled Arabic in Language options and it already works in Adobe InDesign. How do I enable Arabic language compatibility in Illustrator and Photoshop?

    I just don't want the window to be so huge. I would like to limit the size of the window to the size of my image, exactly as in Photoshop.
    You are working on a canvas/ artboard, not within an "image". Since you can place objects arbitrarily in relation to that artboard, even by large numbers outside of it, having it display in a cropped manner doesn't exactly make sense, if nothing else, at least for being able to select content. I don't really see your problem and from my fading memory of CorelDraw and Freehand I don't remeber them doing it differently, either, nor is InDesign. You just have to get used to it. For programs that are/ were hardcopy-centric in the first place, it also makes no sense to have a background color other than white. Arguably they could allow users to change it and maybe there is already some way to do it that I'm not aware of, but it's logical to me...

  • My Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop CS6 aren't opening...

    Hello, I am having issues with my Illustrator and Photoshop CS6.  Both software are encountering different issues. For Illustrator, the issue is that when the software is trying to start up, it crashes unexpectedly (it seems to get stuck on the "ColorHarmony.aip" then quits). Illustrator opens maybe 5% of the time when i sit there and try to open it, but its rare to get it to work.
    For Photoshop, it crashes 50% of the time during start up (similar to Illustrator), but the main issue with Photoshop is that when it actually opens, everything becomes incredibly slow. The mouse glitches and it takes extremely long for anything to actually work, I can't even select tools because the mouse glitches so bad. 
    inDesign however is completely fine.
    I own the Adobe Creative suite : Standard
    My computer is a HP Envy laptop with windows 8.1. It has 16b of RAM, an i7 processor and has a nvidia geforce graphics card.
    I have already un-installed and re-installed the software and even did a system restore and it didn't solve the issue.
    Please help I need this for school.
    Thanks,
    -Eric
