Add any logo to your Photoshop composition using the "Place" command.

In addition to its renowned photographic editing capabilities, Adobe Photoshop allows users to combine photographs, artwork and text to create entirely unique graphic art. Photoshop users can use the program's "Place" command to combine multiple photographs or to combine their graphic designs and photographs with artwork made in another program. This option allows users to import vector graphics as well, making it perfect for adding a logo or other branding mark to a photograph or piece of graphic art.
