Great content as always! Showing the methods that may not be the most efficient before the better option is valuable in helping us all to develop a deeper understanding/knowledge of Photoshop. Thanks PHLEARN team! Stay safe all …
Great training. I thought you would touch on other export options. I would like to know is it possible to export out as a vector (eps) so that the image has a transparent background and can be scaled for large sign printing? This is the only reason why I use illustrator.
I always enjoy Phlearn’s tutorials, they have really helped my PS skills. Now I feel like I can design my very own photography logo, thanks!!
