I have an image in photoshop that contains multiple objects. I made a multiple selection of those objects (they all have the same color) Is it possible to transform the selection into multiple vector objects so i can resize all of them easily and get better result for small size. Thanks!

You'll probably get better results in Illustrator with auto trace.

  • Place your file in AI
  • Highlight and choose live trace (IIRC).from the object menu
  • Adjust the live trace settings until you get the paths you're after
  • Expand the live trace (in the object menu) to get to the paths themselves

  • What would be the steps in Illustrator then?

Try to right-clicking your selection and then select "Make work path..". Or you can convert the objects individually to the path and pack they to the smart object.
