Beardown 0 Posted December 1, 2007 beizer. will vectorize one color ....in flexi .......What program are you using?? :notsure: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haumana 1,220 Posted December 1, 2007 post the logo and I'm sure there will be lots of help. Depending on the program that you're using, some of them have a B&W conversion option. If I need to colorize to B&W, I usually do the clean-up and and then use the paint bucket fill in Adobe PhotoShop. Then it either goes to Vector Magic or if I have time, I'll play with it in Inkscape. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firemalt 10 Posted December 2, 2007 Try using vectormagic... it's a free program that seems to work pretty good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

godstrong1 2 Posted December 2, 2007 hey guy the i scaned this photo from a business card but when i try to pull it up in inkscape it traces the photo but it traces all ugly because of the color !!!!!!!!1 :notsure: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgreenh 9 Posted December 2, 2007 Nice scan for a business card. Business cards suck to work with though. You want the whole thing in black and white? Some of that stuff looks like it is going to need some color to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haumana 1,220 Posted December 2, 2007 Any chance the business owner knows the font used for the card? Then you'd only need to worry about the graphic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haumana 1,220 Posted December 2, 2007 See if this works for you. I did a quick clean-up in PhotoShop, then ran it through Vector Magic. I hope it helps. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OR IS THERE ANOTHER WAY YOU CAN SEND THIS FILE TO MY EMAIL:royaltysigns@yahoo.com thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firemalt 10 Posted December 2, 2007 The attechment he post is an .eps file. You should be able to open in any cutter software. If you were trying to open it in MS paint or another program to just look at the picture, that's where you probably got the error. Give me a few minutes, and I'll see if I can't get you a .png fil of the vectorized image. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
