I usually bring in a vector from adobe illustrator to photoshop by saving it as a PDF, is there a better way to bring it into phtshop. cause it always usually comes out lighter on adobe and transparent and weird.

thanks.

Try .psd? If thats possible in illustrator. Sorry it was just an idea. This might not help but you can always read here abotu saving techniques and that could possibly help you find a different way.

photoshop isnt meant to handle files the way illustrator does.

i do it the same way you do, mostly. save it as a png, and open it up in PS.
