So at 3:53, where you show your back round image, when the card is cut will the end points to those 2 gold shapes be seen or will they be cut off? Also, why do you recommend a vector program? If you make the image 300dpi it won't matter right?

@ukballer1012 They will be cut off. And a vector program makes a huge difference when it comes to printing. Vector will print sharper than an image. Anti-aliasing is terrible for printing.

Thanks for a very professional video-tutorial. I need to upload an already designed image to photoshop or illustrator (*.ia *.jpg *.eps) and edit the info inthere with my name, address, etc. for a business card. Could you please tell me how to do it? All tutorial I have found begin from zero, and I have the card already designed, all I get to do is edit it. Thanks a lot for your answer.

If it's a flattened image there is not much to edit. You would need to erase out what was there and re-type it. If it were me I would import the old card to InDesign as the background and re-create the whole thing in InDesign using the old one as a guide. Once finished you will have a clean editable file that outputs nicely to a PDF for printing and handles bleeds naively.

are you not suppose to be working in cmyk?, not rgb.

[sacdigital]

Ah. Good catch. Being in CMYK is important but in all reality you shouldn't be using Photoshop to create a business card in the first place. Use it to edit photos then place those photos in to InDesign. Making a business card in cmyk doesn't help the output really when you are using a flattened raster image. What will make a noticeable difference is using a vector program like InDesign and InDesign is CMYK by default.
