Nitsuj 5 Posted September 11, 2011 So I have this graphic. I have it in jpg and tif. I'd like to turn it into a cuttable image. I've been trying and watching tuts, and haven't figured it out yet. I'm not asking anyone to do it for me, but if you could give me a hint, point me in the right direction, link me to a tutorial that explains it, whatever. Thanks a ton!

Neuromax 97 Posted September 12, 2011 You need to convert it to a vector file first, use inkscape to trace it and convert it. Once its a vector you can cut it with no problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's what I've been trying to do. But when I try to trace it, it gets very bad looking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nitsuj 5 Posted September 12, 2011 Best way print it out. Do a hand trace. mark-s Ah. I never even thought of that. Ok so trace it scan it, then convert it to vector and cut it. Sound about right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nitsuj 5 Posted September 13, 2011 mark-s Ok, so I hate to be so needy, but I'm still not getting it. So I traced it, then scanned it. I learned something about myself. I suck at tracing. Plus, it's not a graphic that was designed to be cut out of vinyl. So how would one take my poorly traced image and edit it in any of the programs I have to make it into a cuttable graphic? It's a company logo, so keeping it looking as similar as possible to the original is helpful. Again, I'm not looking for someone to do it for me, I really just want a hint or resource to get my in the right direction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mark-s 1,126 Posted September 13, 2011 After tracing you`ll need to node edit. Or send it out and have it done by a pro. mark-s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nitsuj 5 Posted September 15, 2011 Ok, I'm willing to let a pro handle it until I can figure out how. It's a graphic that I need have. How much would a pro charge me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
