Question:
How do make "camera-ready" logos using photoshop?

I just need a tiny bit of help. I have an 8 letter text treatment I worked up in photoshop using one font and a little bit of manual skewing and some re-spacing of a letter or two.

I need help converting this into a "print-ready" file that I can send to a manufacurer or printer who can use it in any scale. I think that means I need it converted to vector art, but not sure.

To make it printable at any scale (business card, or billboard for instance), you will need to make it a vector in illustrator. However, if you dont have/know how to use iluustrator, and if it's just going on your photos, you could make it a PSP or TIFF file, as long as the background is transparent (so there won't be a white box in back of it when it is layered onto your photo) you should be okay.

Also, find out what resolution your photos are being printed at. the industry standard is 300dpi, but can be higher. What you will have to do is match the DPI measurement on this watermark (that means if your watermark/logo is going to be 2 inches long on the photo, it will need to be 600 pixels long MINIMUM). This will result usually in a larger file than a vector logo, but it will do if you don't have access to illustrator.

1) Yes, you can increase the size of a 7mp photo so that it's the same size as a photo taken by a 12mp camera. It's called interpolation, and essentially, it's using software to "guess" at the missing pixels. You're not really increasing the resolution (information resolved); you're just increasing the number of pixels in the image. 2) I'm not saying you should buy a 12mp camera, but increasing the size of a 7mp camera image in Photoshop is not the same as capturing the actual, original data. That's why getting more data to make the image makes sense. 3) There are other reasons not to get a 12mp imager though--including noise and interference between closely-packed photosites so that a 12mp camera actually delivers a worse image than a lower mp camera on a point and shoot sensor of the same physical size. So, as you increase megapixels, at a certain point, you get diminishing returns. 4) On an SLR with a huge sensor (height x width), the difference between 7mp and 12mp is big--with a lot more apparent resolution. On a point and shoot, with their smaller sensors, the 7mp camera may actually deliver the better image. For most reasonable print sizes, most people don't need more than 5 or 6 megapixels, even on a point and shoot.

What Is Camera Ready Art

Yes you will need to convert the file to vector art. If you just used type and no crazy effects then what you should do is redo the design in Illustrator which is a vector program.
