Best way to add logo to a photo: Illustrator vs Photoshop


I understand that Adobe Illustrator is better for making logos because they can be re-sized to any size. I also understand that Adobe Photoshop is better for actually cutting/adding effects to photos.

However, what if I want to take a photo, add effects to it and also then add my logo to it that I designed in AI?

Should I create/add effects to my photo in photoshop and then import the logo as a stamp from AI (or something like that)? Or should I do the project in AI by importing the photo I edited from photoshop?

If done in AI, I was thinking to make my logo into a symbol and then just reuse it.

Thanks.


Solution

  • The first answer is spot on. Create your logo in Illustrator so you can use it anywhere and add it in PS since the photo is a raster image and is not infinitely scalable anyway.
