Adobe Illustrator LIVE-TRACE?

Mikdog · Post by **Mikdog** » Wed Jul 01, 2009 4:52 pm

Ahoy,

I've designed this skateboard deck but I drew it in Photoshop @ 72dpi instead of 200dpi, so the company can't use it.

Would Adobe's LIVE-TRACE work in turning this into vector? I don't have the program, but would someone who has a legit copy of the program perhaps care to help me out?

Thanks. I can send you the hi-res raster file if you get hold of me on this topic or PM me.

I have Vector magic which is much better than adobe Adobe's and Corel's tracing. Anyway, you will never obtain the exact design you want and there will be a lot more shapes than a human would draw, most if it is a complex draw like this. But we can try, if you want

I have send you two private messages, but seems they are not working. Anyway, my e-mail can be seen on my Profile.

Thanks Selgin. Yep, didn't get your PM's.

Anyways, I'm sending the pic now through email. Hopefully your account will accept a +-4MB file. Cool! I tried out the online version on Vector Magic. Looks pretty good!

Let me know if Vector Magic doesn't work out. I ran Live Trace on the low res image that you posted here, and the results were very good. I'm sure with a hi res version we could get something usable. Here is the Live Trace version:

That looks awesome b15fliptop!

I'm gonna PM you and ask for your email. If you could do this for me, you'd be doing me a huge favour. Not sure if these PM's are working, so here's my email address

!@#$%^kiffness!@#$%^ ^%^%^%---at---&^&^&^ gmail.com

Just take out all the random symbols please. I'm petrified of spam.

Thanks! Looks great! Yay! Maybe I can get this made after all!

Which Adobe would work best for custom invitations? I have Photoshop elements 5.0 and looking to upgrade. I've been making custom party invitations for my family and now i'm looking to start a small side business. Sometimes i'll use photos in the invite and other times it's just a custom design. I also do party favor tags and labels. There are so many Adobe programs and i'm not really sure which would work best. I'm pretty computer savvy and a fast learner. What do you recommend?
