Saving to .ai

[sparky3659]

Hi,

Im doing some work for a friend of a friend, and Im pretty new to this scene. He wants me to have the completed logo in .ai version and a .EPS.

So, a couple of questions on this.....Firstly, why would they want them saved like this- why wouldnt just a PSD and JPEG be ok?

Secondly, I see that .ai is Adobe Illustrator- what does this allow someone to do, that they wouldnt be able to do on photoshop.

I see I have the ability to save as EPS, as well as many others, but not .ai. However, I see there is an ability under 'File', to 'Export to Illustrator'. If I was to do this, would this save it as an .ai file that would suit my 'client'.

Thanks, and sorry for being noob

AI is vector-based. An AI image can be blown up the size of a house, and will appear exactly the same. PS makes raster (pixel) art. If you blow it up too big, it looks pixelated and loses resolution and image quality.

Good Luck dud.
