What software would be recomended for making vectors and such that are commonly posted in here. Looking to start but not sure if this is possible with photoshop alone.
i would use illustrator.
Making a vector in photoshop completely defeats the purpose of making one in the first place. Get adobe's illustrator, and if you can't afford/crack it, get inkscape (open source).
I use illustrator.Good stuff.
So there really is no point in getting photoshop is there since illustrator does it better more easily.Like say I have an image and I want to cut and paste and adjust and fix it up. Can that be done in Illustrator or do I have to go to Photoshop for that part?
>>383881You can do all of that in illustrator, plus it also does traces too if you're feeling lazy.
>>383881First of all you need to learn the difference between vector and raster graphics.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_graphicshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raster_graphicsIllustrator is used for vector graphics while Photoshop is used for raster graphics. If you want to do things like photo editing and image repair use photoshop. And use Illustrator for vectors. Just find some tutorials and practice until you get good at it.
