Sorry, "importing via photoshop" was a pretty unclear way to put it.
What I meant to say is that the organization gave me their logo as a jpeg with a background, I cut it out in photoshop so as not to have the background and saved it as a tiff. I could, however, save it as any of the other options that photoshop has on offer.
I am not familiar with alpha channels, I see that there is a box to check off when you save the document, but it is not possible to check it. What specifications am I looking for and where can I see/change them?
A vector would obviously be ideal, even though it is relatively high resolution as is. Suggestions on how to create one would also be welcome.
