Would someone help please Tracing and smoothing

[Guest Finishing Touch]

The image gets jagged, i trace in Inkscape and save as a EPS to import to SB but it gets jaggy it looks smooth and nice in Inkscape i have been working with node edit to straighten them out but it is making my head hurt, and when i get one section even the other end is screwed i was wondering if there is a way to smooth it out in Inkscape or SB without the node edit? i have Corel and Ai if there is a better way there?

He is giving advice,, there are some great forum members on here that you can hire very reasonably to do your products, faster turn around than you can mess with it yourself..

I agree, either ask questions in order to do it yourself or hire someone, there's plenty of people that will do it for a small fee... takes money to make money

If you want it perfect = hire it done by a pro.

I edited my original post and eliminated the "any one bored " and left only my question? which is

Is there a way to smooth out lines with out node editing?

[AbsoluteAirbrush 33]

You have to edit the nodes in order to smooth them, not sure about signblazer, but in inkscape, I know you can select multiple nodes and smooth them... someone will probably chime in on how to do this in signblazer but I only cut with signblazer, and do everything else in inkscape.

This approach will get the job done for you plus you'll learn how to do it yourself. :-) Good Luck!

Ok so I get the swoosh smooth as a baby's you know what and save as EPS to import to SB once I get it to SB it comes out jagged is there something i am missing or is this just how it is going to go. Once in SB edit again to desired smoothness?? Is there anoth file format that will import to SB other than EPS?

When you save it out of AI, you need to save it as a version 8 .eps file. then SignBlazer will open it.

The best tracing program is Imagaro Pro Z.
