I have a logo that will be made into a decal by a company that does this sort of thing. They want the logo sent to them on disk in vectorized art format so their printing progam can open it and print it. My logo is currently in jpg format. Can I open the logo, right click and do a "save as". And what is the file extention for vectorized art? I'm at a loss on how to convert it to the right file format. Thanks for any help you can give me
Vector art is composed of lines defined by mathematical formulas as opposed to bit mapped art. There are programs which can be used to translate to vector art, but not an easily performed action on most images.
I would double-check on the vector requirement, or look around for another vendor. High-resolution jpeg or postscript files should be useable by most printing houses.

Irfanview is a program that can convert .JPG to .EPS (vectorized ART format), can be gotten from
formatting link
and it is freeware. From their site: "IrfanView is provided as freeware, but only for private, non-commercial use (that means at home)." What you describe seems to meet those qualifications. If you have a digital camera, it may have come with software that will do the conversion. Mine came with photoshop elements and it can do that conversion (from .JPG to .EPS).
If you have image processing software such as photoshop elements, paint shop pro, irfanview, the image processing software that comes with MS works (the name escapes me right now), etc., you can do as you suggested and open the file and "save as" in .EPS format. Windows itself (at least that is what I assume you are useing) does not have that capability.
However, I am a bit surprised that the company would not have software that would do that. I don't know how much they would charge, but I can't imagine it would be very much, but I may be wrong about that.
