I am making a colour print ad that has a grey scale photo as the full
background, there are a couple of simple text lines, and an .ai logo to
insert. The image is of the front facade of a house, all b/w with the
door and a planter on the steps in colour. (Photoshop .psd file)
There are two text boxes with simple headings. And the company logo, a
full colour .ai.
I want to manipulate the size of the photo to get exactly the bg
elements I want in the ad. InDesign is great for that, but I also need
to adjust the colour of the .ai file, and that's a mystery.
It's easy in Illustrator, but I can't do anything with the photo, nor
can I see what the final ad will look like by seeing a preview of just
the artboard area, without bleeds.
Photoshop may be the best for photos. That's where I created the
greyscale image with a few colour highlights, but manipulating the other
elements, text and vector is awkward.
What's the easiest approach? Thanks for any help you may offer.
