Combining Illustrator Graphics and Photoshop Images
ADOBE PHOTOSHOP 5.0 Tutorial to Combining Illustrator Graphics and Photoshop Images. You can easily add a graphic created
in a drawing program to an Adobe
Photoshop le. This is an effective
method for seeing how a line drawing
looks applied to a photograph or for
trying out Photoshop special effects on
vector art. You can also export the
resulting artwork for use in other
graphics programs. ...
You can combine Photoshop artwork with art from other graphics applications in a variety of ways
for a wide range of creative results. Sharing artwork between applications allows you to combine line
art with continuous-tone paintings and photographs. It also allows you to move between two types
of computer graphicsâ bitmap images and vector graphics.
Bitmap vs. vector graphics
Adobe Photoshop uses
bitmap images
, also called raster images, which are based on a grid of pixels.
In working with bitmap images, you edit groups of pixels rather than objects or shapes. Because
bitmap graphics can represent subtle gradations of shade and color, they are appropriate for
continuous-tone images such as photographs or artwork created in painting programs. A disad-
vantage of bitmap graphics is that they lose deï¬ nition and appear â jaggedâ when scaled up.
Vector graphics
, also called draw graphics, are made up of shapes based on mathematical expressions
and are created in drawing applications. These graphics consist of clear, smooth lines that retain
their crispness when scaled. They are appropriate for illustrations, type, and graphics such as logos
that may be scaled to different sizes.
