: How do I recreate or move a logo from Photoshop to Illustrator I created a logo for my company from an photo in Photoshop and now I would like to move it to Illustrator to make it a vector

You may need more instruction on using Adobe Illustrator tools, but to get started, here is one way to go about this:


Place the .PSD file into AI (File > Place).
Double click on the layer icon in the Layers Panel. Re-name the layer TEMPLATE and select the Template check box and the dialog box while renaming. This will lock the layer and dim the image to a percentage you can specify.





Create a new layer on top of the TEMPLATE layer to begin using the Adobe Illustrator tools to replicate the logo you created in Photoshop.

The principal is quite simple, but it may be time-consuming depending of what is at stack in your logo:


Import your "matrix raster version" of your logo in a new Illustrator document.
Use it as a model above which you will recreate the "vector version" of your logo using standard Illustrator tools.
In some cases, vectorization function can make you save time as a rough work first step, or for some particular parts of the logo content.
