deftone 4 Posted November 16, 2012 Can somebody please help me out here. I had to recreate a number for a customer in Corel. It's outlined and also has a shadow. What is the best way to turn this in to a vector?? If I export it as an .eps file, it obviously cuts the numbers, outline and shadow seperately which won't work. If I use Vector Magic, I'm down to 2 seperate colors/layers, but it cuts the red numbers out of the black background. How can I make it so it only cuts out the outer black part so I can layer the red on top of the black. Does this make sense to anybody?? hahaha Ugh! i swear I'm sober.

atkins71fan 3 Posted November 17, 2012 make ur numers and turn them red. create a offset in black, then duplicate the offset and make ur shadow. weld the offset and shadow together and put ur red back on top. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
knucklehead 530 Posted November 17, 2012 When you get all the outline, shadows, numbers grouped. Go to arrange>convert to curves. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deftone 4 Posted November 19, 2012 Yeah I know. That's why I was asking. I should probably just go find some video tutorials. I'm one of those people that kinda need to see it being done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
