    Illustrator Printing - PS v AI

    Thanks @ hawkeye and Tom Mann... OK so if I have a .ps file with just text and then I export that as a .pdf would the .pdf be a vector document? So suppose I export my .ai file to a .pdf format - I think the pdf is not a raster document - so is the last step rasterizing done by the printer -...

    Illustrator Printing - PS v AI

    Hi all, I want to print an A4 document with text. Is AI better than PS for this? I know that increasing or decreasing the size of an original pixel image damages the quality but suppose I prepare the document in PS at the correct size ie no increasing or decreasing the size - would the printed...

    Illustrator Document size / DPI (newbie)

    Thanks @ hawkeye, MrTom and Tom Mann This is how I see it so far - have I got this right? An image taken by a digital camera has a resolution determined by the camera sensor's setting for example at a setting of 6MP the image will contain 6 million dots of detail. As Tom Mann said in the...

    Illustrator Paint effect

    Yes it was - so my question is how to replicate that paint effect. But I want to print it - does that mean that AI would be better than PS? Thanks...

    Illustrator Document size / DPI (newbie)

    Hi all, I think I read somewhere that documents such as .ai and .pdf do not have a DPI (dots per inch) or a DPI setting but rather DPI is determined by the printer when printing. On the other hand I have read that documents need to be at least 300 DPI to for good quality printing - or does this...

    Illustrator Create guide (newbie)

    @ Hoogle - very nice video - thank you! Re the attached screenshot from your video I think the X and Y co-ordinates can also be adjusted to move the guide. So if I want a guide at for example 40% it seems that I have to do some maths - 40% of a width of 210mm would be 84mm. It seems strange...

    Illustrator Create guide (newbie)

    Hi all, In PS I can set a percentage for my guide so 50% would be dead centre. In AI I know I can drag the ruler to set a new guide but can I set a percentage - for example 50% of the artboard? Thanks...

    Ok only my first go so it doesn't look right yet but here it is so far. It is the overall look rather than the original colours that I am aiming for because I want to be able to do it in different colours. Target here. Thanks...

    How to do this button?

    Thanks to all for your replies and especially to DisturbedShifty and Inkz :) I have got a rough version done so far but anyway one question so far is at the end of Inkz's video it looks like the text is put in two shades of green but I can't seem to see how these two layers result in the nice 3D...

    How to do this button?

    Hi all, Any ideas please how I could do something like this button in CS6? I have attached a psd for a similar button but I am not sure why / how it is using the shapes. I mean do I need to use shapes or is there an alternative route? Thanks :)

    rounded corner empty frame - CS6

    Hi all, I want to create a border ie an empty frame to which I will later add content. If I do rectangle tool then Select / Modify /Smooth I get jagged edges (attached, zoomed in view). The black in the attached is just an extra layer for contrast but I want a layer with just the white border...

    Text not sharp / clean

    @ Tom thanks for your questions. Just to rewind, this text will be used on a webpage so it needs to be compressed, maybe as a PNG. There will be about ten of these boxes on the web page and so the file size should not be too big. I wanted white text on a coloured background which is meant to...
