Signs and Designs 17 Posted August 1, 2015 I am using vinyl master pro and it seems to do a good job vectorizing until I look close and cut the graphic, hundreds of nodes making it jagged. I go to reduse nodes and a few will be removed, I then manually remove the nodes save and they are all back. Does any one have any insight on what is wrong, or what I am not doing right. HELP please attached id an .eps of what my result looks like with all the nodes Thanks Bob Str Vapor.eps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sue2 920 Posted August 1, 2015 I don't have Vinyl Master so I can't help with that issue but, in the scan itself I don't see too many nodes overall. It looks like your graphic has some jagged edges and the scan reproduced those. You need to go in and clean up the wavy edges by removing the nodes in those areas. In my experience, all scans need some straightening or cleaning up before cutting. Sue2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skarekrow 1,842 Posted August 1, 2015 I definitely would not spend too much time cleaning up that rendering. Time would be be better spent manually redrawing it for the fewest nodes and little-to-no clean up necessary. It actually has a pretty low node count for an auto trace as Vm's trace engine is one of the very best out there. My opinion is, Identify the font, get out the Bezier tools, and redraw. Vm makes easy work out of recreating the Block Shadows and 3D effects as well. (BTW, the nodes aren't "making it jagged"... they are following the jagged lines that were produced by an auto-trace from a less than 'perfect' raster sample.) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
