I'm not sure what your asking for.  Any (file) created in Photoshop and put into another program is still going to be a bitmap (no matter the format you save it in).


A eps, psd, DCS1 or 2, .tif .pdf .jpg are all still a bitmap. Bitmap just means it's made up of pixels and not math like vector.


Maybe you want to convert it into vector art?  So, that should be a jpg, .tif or a psd to convert to vector (I would guess).

if you have made a font and want to use it in corel as a font then you must save each letter a a seperate bitmap.  and use a font creating program to make each letter of the font.  I use high logic font creator.  You can import the bitmaps into each letter space and then save as a ttf file to then be installed as a font.  Lot of work to do but that is why fonts can be so expensive.

Thanks for all the replies no I am not making an entire font collection just 2 words.... Dan I knew PS saved as bitmap but did not know if there was a way you could save it in a specific format to where you could ungroup in Corel without tracing. I got it done but was looking for an eaiser way.... or shortcut :D and after making the font with just 2 words I have figured out that the folks who make all those fonts don't get paid enough! no wonder they come up with some of those names they use there brain dead :) Thanks again for the help to all
