I'm having troubles getting a logo from a PSD file converted into an .eps or .ai that I can bring into cdr. I don't need any of the effects, just the paths. I can get the main copy in but the secondary copy and graphic have had effects done to them. I'm not even sure if it can be done. If there is anyone who is adept at this and willing to give it a go for me can you shoot me an email (ktg @ sasktel.net). Thanks!

Kelly, assuming you have "paths" in the PSD file, go to "file/export/paths to illustrator".

Next, go over to Illustrator and open your AI file that you just saved from Photoshop. You will probably notice that it looks like a blank artboard, but do a quick select all (command + A Mac, Control + A PC) and you will notice that your shape is there, just without a fill or stroke. Photoshop did exactly what it said it would. It exported the path and nothing more.

Thanks Glen,
I don't have Illustrator any more, I tried that and then imported to Corel, but there is nothing there when I go to "select all".

If you'd like, send me the PSD and I'll see what I can do. What version of Corel do you have?

Kelly, how big is the file? If you send it to me, I can try working with it in Illustrator.

My mind wanders. And that's not a good thing, 'cause it's too small to be out there alone.
