RegisG 0 Posted September 6, 2008 I don't know what software you have but, I'd use Corel Paint and create a mask around the desired object and delete the unwanted portion. Time consuming if very detailed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graphic Systems 1 Posted September 7, 2008 Hey Duke, If you look at your options in your scanning program you should have on option that says (Black & White) and if that does not work look in your inkscape in the options for an option that states (posterize). Every program should have this option just under a different name. Let me know if you find anything ill check around for ya !

Jay2703 704 Posted September 7, 2008 Do you have his card? If you do, scan it at a higher resolution so the picture is bigger and better quality. Then post it again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To bad your customer doesn't have his logo on his computer, would make it alot easier for us to help. Some of my customers don't have theirs on file either, I try to encourage them to.

haumana 1,220 Posted September 8, 2008 Duke, that a bummer about the scanner! To bad your customer doesn't have his logo on his computer, would make it alot easier for us to help. Some of my customers don't have theirs on file either, I try to encourage them to. Digitize your customer's logo, than tack on a digitizing fee. If they want the digital version for their use, then you can charge a little more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
