    Adobe Illustrator & Photoshop gurus...need help

    Anyone here know much about AI?

    I have a logo created in AI. When I go to import it to Photoshop, it cuts off a small piece of the logo.

    When I go back into AI, I notice that when I use the selection tool over teh entire logo, the whole thing isn't "boxed in". i.e. when I select the entire logo and drag over the entire logo all of it isn't covered/selected.

    Any ideas?

      It is outside of the artboard..

      Edit: or it could be outside of the "page" use the page or crop area tool..

          Actually I don't know.. it could be half a dozen things..

          Try this first..

          View > Artboard and make sure the artwork is in the black box

          I just tried to test it tho and it didn't matter..

              actually, just ctrl+C but the problem is IN Illustrator I can actually see that it's not selecting all of the logo

                          I gave up so I just created a new file in AI and cut and pasted within AI and it's ok now. No idea what's up w/ the original file, though.

                              Having another problem. Now when I copy the AI file (it's black #000000), it shows up gray in Photoshop (#333333)

                              Any ideas what's causing that?

                                Is the color mode the same in both documents/programs?

                                If its set to CMYK in AI and you paste it into an RGB document in PS it will be a slightly different color ... To change the color mode in PS go image menu--> mode

                                Also, using the copy/paste option can sometimes mean that important file info isn't transferred between programs properly. Try also saving the file in a few different formats and importing it or just straight out opening it in photoshop and see if you get the same issue. I always go back to tif or eps files if I want to get to the bottom of something weird.

                                Good luck!
