Thanks in advance!

That's almost too general of a question, because it really depends on the context, so there're lots of possible answers - what're you asking about specifically?

One possible example is PS's relatively new support for the Pen tool. Try Googling up the keywords 'Photoshop' together with 'vector,' and you'll find a ton of tutorials on that.

Shapes and text in a photoshop file would be vector.. Everything else is raster data (cannot be scaled up without loss of quality)..

Brushes are also vector up to a limit..

will give a really good idea what is vector graphic :)

A vector graphic is created in such a way that the quality of its rendering does not change when you scale it. Photoshop isn't the greatest when it comes to vectors. It is primarily a bitmap application (bitmaps are images that inherently lose quality when you scale them, either up or down).

Illustrator is primarily a vector program. Drawing tools such as rectangle, polygon, pencil and various paintbrushes are vector tools. When you resize an object drawn as a vector, it will look like a nice, sharp crisp object at any size. If it is a bitmap, it will look best at its original size only. It will probably look ok if reduced in size, but it won't be as nice as the original (your software has to eliminate pixels - it had better be good at this!). If increased in size, it will degrade in quality fairly quickly.

My favorite application for both vector and bitmap editing will forever be Fireworks (for WEB GRAPHICS only! Lack of CMYK support makes Fireworks unsuitable for print work). This shouldn't become a discussion about Fireworks v. Photoshop (there are plenty of those around already), but that's just one perspective and observation.

You forgot Paths... They've been around a long time. Shapes are relative newbs. ;)

sorry.. you're right.. paths are vector too.. absolutely right.. :)
