DPI 2

Now with the advancement with photoshop. Is it just as good quality in printing to create a Logo in PS at 300 DPI as it is to do in Illustrator since PS now has vector data?

Thanks

We are a large format print shop & you would not believe some of the problems we encounter. A typical problem is receiving a logo created in photoshop for use in a full page ad at 100% at 300 dpi (maybe 4 or 6" wide) but then enlarged for a banner to 40 or 60" wide. Needless to say, the customer then complains because the logo isn't as sharp & crispy as it was in the ad.

Building the logo in a totally vector based program solves the problem - the logo can be enlarged or reduced to whatever size is required.

Is it okay then to create the logo in Illustrator and then bring it in to Photoshop to add effects?

Thank you for you response.

To add effects to a logo you will have to Rasterize the logo(convert to a bitmap image)when you import it to Photoshop, which will limit the size of the picture.

You get an option to specify the imported size of the logo, so you can make it as big, and whatever resolution you like(the larger the size though, the more system resources you need).

As tad1952 said, Vector images can be enlarged to any size, without loss of quality, NOT so Raster images.

Still, if what you want to do can't be done in Illustrator, then by all means Import it to Photoshop.
