Editible artwork

[MelissaBeth@adobeforums.com]

We have Illustrator 10 for the Mac, System 9.2. We have been given a .jpg graphic that we would like to edit to be 2 spot colors. When we open it we get cmyk with a box around it and we cannot select anything inside the box to edit the colors. Any suggestions on how to edit this graphic would be greatly appreciated!

Looks like you have to use Photoshop for this.

Or you can redraw it if you're familiar with the pen tool.

Photoshop to change the colors or resave or export somehow to be able to use it in Illustrator?

You would need to re-draw the logo in order to use it in Illustrator. Then specify your spot colors in there.

JPG's arent editable in Illustrator at all.

Hope this helps...
