I'm more or less a noob to Grass and GIS (graphic designer by trade and a
mapophile by hobby), so please forgive my ignorance. I'm working in Grass
6.2.1 (OpenOSX via X11) if that helps.
I have a shaded raster DEM as a base and several simple vector layers. I can
easily export this raster as a TIFF, but I also need the vector layers
exported to a format that Photoshop can read. I've been largely unsuccessful
in converting the vector layers to raster with v.to.rast (then the raster to
TIFF). Is there a step I'm missing that would make this easier?
It seems like I need to convert to raster first so they will fit on top of
each other without much work in Photoshop, ie. each layer > TIFF, then just
have each TIFF as a layer.

I've used ps.map to do this - it will produce a postscript file that most pdf/postscript aware programs can read. I have used Adobe Illustrator with more success than Photoshop for modifying such files.

I think I'd tried to mess with ps.map before and couldn't figure it out. But
it's pretty simple for what I'm trying to do!
