 |

hey kids,
i have just worked out how to use vectors in illustrator and i would like to know how i can export my file to photoshop without losing the resolution of the vector, example when i zoom into the image in illustrator its clear but when i export it to photoshop it is not so clear i thought vectors are like a shape and you can enlarge when print and it keeps its resolution. is it the canvas set up that is wrong or ????????????????? any help is appreciated.  |

It depends how you import into Photoshop.
Copy the file in Illustrator and then go to Photoshop and paste, you should get a menu, select the top item that say smart object. You can now resixe to your hearts content

thanks i will give it a try, but now i have another question for you if you can spare the brain power  i am using the pencil tool and tracing around a body (person) and would like to leave the area under the armpit clear example (hand in pocket and elbow out) the area between arm and body needs to be clear and would like to fill the rest of the area. ..... maybe be a hard one to explain or i am not explaining myself enough anyway, but thanks very much for the help later patrick |

For this kind of work you should use the clipping tool (t).
You will need to click around the entire outline of the image first.
Then click around the space under the armpits.
Press cmd-return (mac) or ctrl-return (pc) to hightlight path
Then cmd-J (mac) or ctr-j (pc) to copy the selected image onto new layer.
It's always a good idea to keep the original on the background just incase you want to return to it later. If you hide the background layer you will now have a clear space under the armpits.
