Guest fivestar Posted March 5, 2007 Post one of the pics and lets see if we can help you. First off you will probably have to vectorize the image, which you probably saved as .jpg or .bmp post one and we'll see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TaterNuts 3 Posted March 5, 2007 For the best results that i have found vectorizing the image, they need to be of high quality... It is difficult to get positive results from a poor image. Like fivestar said, post a pic, let us take a look at it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D4kustomz 3 Posted March 5, 2007 Heres Two i need this weekend but i do have more so i need to learn how to do this .... [attachment deleted by admin] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fivestar Posted March 5, 2007 Man them are very small images......they will be hard for me to do anything with them. I would suggest printing them out and tracing them with a sharpie and then scanning them back in. I will try to see what I can do but I am very very very new at this, so I don't know if I can make anything happen for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TaterNuts 3 Posted March 5, 2007 Since no one wants to post... or is too slow to... lol orioles. http://www.divshare.com/download/188526-e0d tigger. http://www.divshare.com/download/188529-c95 The last one, I really cant do anything with. The image needs to be of the highest quality, normally, clip art pics found on the net are not good enough. Did you say that you use WinPCSign? I can teach you how to do it there, but the results will not come close to using flexi... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D4kustomz 3 Posted March 5, 2007 yea the shop that i learned that i wanted to do this he used flex and i loved it could do alot .. But dont have that much money after all the rest so cant get yet im using atm free trail of signgo was waiting for my winpcsign pro to come in and just got it sat. and im having problems with it opening .... Trust me i want flex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TaterNuts 3 Posted March 5, 2007 Ok, you cant get WinPCSign Installed? That really sucks... I heard tho that the vectorozation in WinPCSign PRO is alot better then the one that i got. Im using WinPCSign Letter 12, old version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fivestar Posted March 5, 2007 Tater you live on here....lol......Here is the last one.......took out performance wheels you can add it, it is arial font. I had to zip this up and it is .eps format [attachment deleted by admin] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TaterNuts 3 Posted March 5, 2007 BTW, Flexi on ebay, $300??? http://cgi.ebay.com/FLEXISIGN-7-5-SIGN-MAKING-SOFTWARE-New-Original-Sealed_W0QQitemZ260092803100QQihZ016QQcategoryZ26245QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem It says it will only work for creation plotters? I think that It would probably be worth it for the vectorzation and the sign tools that it has... Then just export to ai or eps format and cut in another program...

TaterNuts 3 Posted March 5, 2007 I've never used Corel? Do you use it? How well does it work for you? I guess I just get frustrated with software that has tons of diffrent features not related to sign making? I.E. Illustrator, InkScape, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D4kustomz 3 Posted March 5, 2007 How hard is it to use corel draw like i said im learning as i go ... if it was lambo door or audio i can walk anyone though just learning this part though Thanx for all your help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fivestar Posted March 5, 2007 Well I can honestly tell you it is one of the easiest programs I have learned to use. Now granted I don't know much about it, but I can vectorize, import export resize, cleanup with it. I love it, I have access to illustrator too but I hate that program as I have no idea on how to use it. I've had my plotter for 2 months now and before that I had never seen corel draw, the reason I had said they made x3 tracing alot better is I have seen on other forums peope complaining about Draw's tracing and the "old timers" saying how much better x3's tracing is compared to other versions, I have no actual comparision myself.

jstovson 1 Posted March 7, 2007 how do you do the vectorizing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fivestar Posted March 7, 2007 Depends on what program you use. It should be called "trace", that traces the image and turns it into a vector format. You may also need to adjust the tracing settings to get the best results. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
