Tutorial: Enhance your vector image with Adobe Photoshop
The greatest value in any tutorial you come across on the web is not the actual image you create following the tutorial, but being exposed to the techniques used to create them.
VectorTuts has a great tutorial on enhancing your vector art with Photoshop. The image to the right is a piece of vector art created in Adobe Illustrator. It’s flat and boring, and you could use many filters and techniques to enhance it in Illustrator, but exporting the vector file as a layered Photoshop file offers you the opportunity to learn some really useful techniques. The end result can be seen in the image at the top of this post.
As with any tutorial, I encourage you to play with the settings illustrated in the tutorial to suit your taste. The tut makes heavy use of layer effects and gradients. While the tutorial is what I would call intermediate level, it will probably take you about a half an hour to go through.

I would like to show vector artwork for textile design, created in Illustrator, mapped to Photoshop image of living room furniture (chairs, sofa). In some CAD programs, the shadows in photograph and perspective are maintained. How can I do that using Adobe CS5 Photoshop and Illustrator? I’d need to do presentation boards that show customers what the textile designs will look like for upholstery and bedding. Pls advise. Thank you.
