Once again, computer graphics falls into two main categories--bitmap and vector.

A Photoshop file can contain both bitmap and vector data. You can work with both types of graphics in Photoshop. I have never used elements, so I cannot tell you. You also need to be careful that Photoshop does not convert your vectored graphics into bitmap when you save the files.

For a more detailed explaination of the differences between the two you can check the on-line help file in Photoshop, or I am sure the manual will provide information.

The output that your T-Shirt printer will need will depend on the size of the file that you are working with. Design something 2" x 2" at 72 ppi TIFF or JPEG image and ask them to print it to fill the front of a T-shirt will look awful.
