.:eMETAL:. 4 Posted May 22, 2013 Been reading and reading and trying watch some of the vids but unfortunately they no longer are valid urls. Can anyone help me vectorize my father's shop logo? I had a sign shop make me the main sign for his shop but now I have purchased a cutter to start doing some stuff on the side and have had ok luck with everything but this it's just not coming out clean for me... appears to have tons of layers? Any help is greatly appreciated, trying to be a sponge here and read before adding clutter to the threads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted May 23, 2013 I found the answer My adobe I am using doesn't save as a real .eps it is still a raster image. Sorry for mis-info on the file Did you trace it first? What Adobe are you using? If Photoshop, it is a raster program. not vector. You need Adobe illustrator, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This will be fixed once I download cs6 and start using illustrator. I thank anyone willing to help! as my sig says... I'm a definite newb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kays1207 0 Posted October 17, 2014 Since inkscape is a vector program, does that mean that pictures are automatically vectored once imported or created in inkscape? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted October 17, 2014 Since inkscape is a vector program, does that mean that pictures are automatically vectored once imported or created in inkscape? No, it does not mean that,, Created yes, imported it depends on what file format it is... Here is a tutorial for vectoring images, Hope it helps. http://inkscape.org/doc/tracing/tutorial-tracing.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
