  1. Here is an image that I am having trouble with, every time I try and vectorize it, I can get pretty much everything ecept the roof to look good and clean. And when I try and edit the nodes to clean it up, I just end up messing everything up. I just don't know how to use this program very well. (inkscape) So if anyone can help, it would be gladly appreciated. Here is the file, Originally from a pub file that I saved as png.

    Laptop templates

    Does anyone have any laptop templates? I am looking for a template for a dell inspiron 1150 (lid and inside) in particular. I had bought this used and would like to spruce it up a bit before I give it to my girl. I know I could probably manually just take mesurments and such but I thought it would be easier to design on a template that would be the perfect size for the laptop to start. there are a a few places where I can see that i will have trouble with doing by hand. Thanks

    Having trouble vectoring again

    I am having trouble vectorizing this image, Can anyone help make a smooth clean vectore out of this. It is going to be just a 2 color decal with black and burgundy. Everytime I try and vectorize it with inkscape or illustrator, it won't come out smooth and clean. Some of the curves in the letters will end up getting distorted in some way or another. Please help, Im pulling my hair out.

    Having trouble vectoring again

    thanks, That looks just about perfect. Except the upper right image of the horse looks kind of blocky. I just tried using the vectormagic site but still no luck How was this done? and what steps do I need to perform in order to clean this up, or can someone else give it a go also.

    Vinyl supplies Seattle Area

    I was just wondering if anyone knows by chance some local suppliers for vinyl. I prefer to use oracle 651 but am open as long as it is good quality vinyl. Usually I will just call fellers and order then just pick up at the tukwila wherehouse. Is there any other resources that I can use to go and pick up vinyl in time of need? The closer to bellevue the better. i could just order online but there are a lot of times when I am in a pinch and need the vinyl the same day.

    Charlie Brown, Linus

    Right on I would appreciate that. "the Great Pumpkin" is the theme that one of my customers wants for his tractor. Any chance for a step by step on how to make one if you are going to? I really wish I knew how to take images and vectorize them by hand, it would save me a whole lot of trouble asking all of the time. The only way I know how to vectorize is for ex. in illustrator to take a jpg and click on live trace and hope it comes out right, which isnt the best way I know. It doesnt even come out perfect most of the time I use that feature. Anyways enough of my rambling and thanks in advance.
  11. I had built a website and have half-heartly been selling decals on ebay, but would like to know other resources such as craiglist and others that some people are having success getting business from. I have seen some other auction sites and some forums where people are selling. I guess my question is, what other methods do you guys use and have results as to selling online. For my website, I just kinda threw it together and hav'nt made any sales just because I have'nt been working on optimizing and making an effort yet to draw a lot of traffic. If you have any tips and suggestions post them here.
  12. I just converted a jpg into a vector using trace bitmap. And all worked just fine, I got it to look how I want it. Now I have to email my customer the image for approval. Previously I was just using illustrator and it had an option to export the file as a jpg which I would use to email. How can I get this to work. It looks like I can only export it as a png file. I just ventured into trying out this program today, im a real newb sorry for the basic quetion.

    Vectorizing help

    Hello all I was just wondering if anyone can vectorize this image. I played around with inkscape but since it has a reflection type effect its kind of difficult. I want to make this into a 2 color decal so I would want just the basic shapes I guess.

    love bug

    Does anyone have the "love bug" as a vector? From the movies.
  15. I am hoping I can somehow achieve this in inkscape, In the attached picture is a jesus fish image and where it says jesus I need to replace it with "NURSE" Can this be done in inkscape easily? If not can you point me to a tutorial on how to do this in this or another program (i also have access to illustrator, photoshop, and corel). Or if anyone has the time to do this for me I would appreciate it.. Thanx
  16. As the title suggests I need some scorpion design and I also need some orchids. Anyone have these?
  17. Thanks for the scorpions. Now does anyone have the flowers?

    How do I warp the text like in the included image?

    That was perfect. What program did you use and what was the effect that was used. Thanks a bundle
  19. Can you tell me how? I dont see that option anywhere .
  20. I dont think illustrator will work in ubuntu. I am looking for a solution while staying in the linux invironment. I just tried gimp and it works. but is there anyway to do it only in inkscape? I would like to save myself an extra step if I could.

    i was bored

    Do you by chance have any website references for any tips on how to make things from a photo? It always seemed too complicated for me but I think I might just have to give it another go.

    decale stickers

    Does anyone know what brand of clear that the dude uses in the video? It looks like it easier to work with 100 times better than the R brand that I have. Or does anyone else use any brand of clear that looks like its just as easy to use as the dude's clear?

    My first signs

    I might be out of the loop, but where did you get those sign blanks? I think I would like to play a little with something like that too.

    Which type of Vinyl should I use

    I have a customer that would like to put some graphics up on his cubicle walls. Has anyone done this? I usually use oracal 651 for most of my work because it is mostly used outside. Will the vinyl even apply well? I dont know anyone with a cubicle so if someone that does can chirp in on the subject. What kind of vinyl would you recommend if it is even possible to do? If I remember correctly cubicle walls usually have some sort of fabric or other material is that right? Thats why I was thinking it might not work.
