export into what? and does ps take the vector look away and is it good to save for web

just save the fucking thing as an eps and open it in photoshop, man.
crop it and save it for the web...or save it as a jpeg.
- BonSeff0
its never vector in ps. just experiment.
once you have illustrator open and your document in front of you,
open photoshop. then go back to illustrator. select your artwork in illustrator. go to photoshop and go file-new, click ok and then paste. save as jpg or gif
hope that helps

what was wrong with your other thread?

okone last question is better for the image to save as web or just save as jpeg

gif is a lossless compression, Jpeg is lossy...
what this means is that when you compress something with a lossy compression scheme (like JPEG), you lose image clarity.(hence .jpg artifacts[ those little dirty looking squares at high contrast areas])
when you compress something with a lossless compression, (like .gif) you don't lose anything
becasue it essentially counts up rows of similar pixels and reads it as one pixel. (but gif is only 256 colours[8-bit] so really you're not losing image quality from a 8 bit image, but you would from a 24bit image.)Jpeg is good for photos, gradients, retty much anything thats got a lot of different colours all flowing together, grifs are good for high contrast images or images with large feilds of colour (most logos, text, icons, etc.)
you'll have to experiment to get a feel for how both work, and which they work better for.
saving out of illusrator should probably be .gif unless you've got raster images embeded in your document.
hope you understood at least some of that

THANKS ALOT, what is a raster, and your saying to sav straight from ill dont go into ps
- monNom0
raster is the opposite of vector... or well, photshop is a raster image program, illustrator is vector.
raster is made up of pixels, vector is made up of lines.
personally i would copy it out of illustrator (ctrl+c or apple+c on mac) then make a new document in photoshop (ctrl+n or apple+n) and paste it (ctrl+v or apple+v).
that way you can save for web and preview it and see what size it will be... that will help you determine which file type is right for you.

you can save for web in illustrator too.

think sage needs to pick up some books. then read them and study to learn more about the !nt0rw3b

im sorry everyone, is saving for web option better then saving it as a jpg?
- monNom0
yes, because you can see a preview and know the file size before you save the image... and you can adjust it on the fly
