joker 618 Posted November 8, 2013 On the attached image i am trying to put the zebra print into the letters so when i cut it i can cut the letters in pink and the zebra in black. Looking for the zebra to be in the middle of the letters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted November 8, 2013 I now there is probably an easier way but here's my take on it. Do a trace on the zebra print and in Corel I'd powerclip the zebra into the letter. An alternative would be do trace and the do some for of trim or weld like front minus back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaybyrd 3,770 Posted November 8, 2013 I may not be 100% in my description the more I think about it so if you don't get it let me know and I'll do a little experimenting here.

mark-s 1,126 Posted November 8, 2013 It depends on how good you want it to look (final product) Everyone I have done, trace and then connect every stripe one by one to the inside of the letters, comes out perfect. mark-s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wildgoose 4,200 Posted November 8, 2013 If that one Jaybird made doesn't work let me know and I can bust one out for you. You say you have photoshop? Do you have the whole suite with Illustrator? If so I would be willing to give you a step-by-step keystroke how-to for illustrator. Photoshop isn't going to help much without doing a trace at some point which IMHO ends up a lot less clean.
