Vectors & Photoshop Shapes.

I was given a hand-drawn logo to turn into a vector graphic, so what I did (of course) was scan it & trace it with photoshop's pen tool. The thing is, there were a few different shapes in the logo, so I had to create seperate shapes in photoshop. How would I go about combining all the shapes so that they are resizeable as one object?

Group them? Smart object? Send them to Illustrator and make a "real" vector out of it?

I don't have illustrator. Oh well... I just saved it in as a pdf... that's good enough for now.

I thought if you clicked the little "chain-link" icon they'd group like feyd said... then any operation on one layer applies to all layers (transformations, filters etc). You can ungroup them after you're done.

That did not work when resizing... it just resized the selected layer.

Putting the layers into a folder allows alteration of all layers inside the folder so long as you have the folder selected.

i highly recommend that you use illustrator, a dedicated vector program. it will save you alot of headache instead of using photoshop.
