Hi. I am trying to make a logo using a stock photo and text. When I add the image (using png) I can't get the text to butt up right next to the image to make a consistent flow in the name. When I use the image as an AI image, the text will butt up against it, but the image is grainy when I enlarged it. How do I do this? And then I need to take the whole thing and make one image and not quite sure how to do that. I have been googling this for days using different terminology and no luck. Thanks in advance for the help, Penne

I did, but not sure what to do now

Check out the Layers panel whether there are just these objects or more. If those are the only ones, just select all, Edit > Copy. Then go to your logo workfile and Edit > Place.

Maybe take a look at my Vector Clipart Missing Manual: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5NQyO2Tsjw

Can you give the name/number of the stock item?

I am not sure what you mean by that. I opened it in AI and it only let me ungroup it twice. But what does that do? It didn't allow me to do anything with it. thanks

So maybe you downloaded the preview image. I suggest to go back to stock and make sure to download the vector version.

Just do it all in Illy.

"the image is grainy when I enlarged it" - where did get get it from? you say "stock" photo, but that doesn't necessarily mean you downloaded the high resolution version.

"how I can make that rounded like it is supposed to be and not flat?" - I don't know what you mean.

"take the whole thing and make one image" - save as pdf, any decent printer can use it. I don't do web but save as svg, export to jpg.

Hi. Thanks. I got the image from stock.adobe.com. When I placed the "S" the bottom of it was flat, not round like it should be. Thanks for the other info about taking it and saving as one image.

Using the AI image

and now it did work when I used the png (it is up against the text now), but the bottom of the "S" image is flat and wasn't like that in the original photo

do you know how I can make that rounded like it is supposed to be and not flat? thanks, Penne
