Graphics help
Morning.
Anyone on here able to produce vectorised images? my photoshop abilities aren't high enough quality for purposes.
Cheers.

Re: Graphics help
Hi Stu, what do you need?
Re: Graphics help
I made a vector image of a gasket once
I scanned the gasket in 3 parts
knitted the images together into 1 big gaskets sized image and cropped out the gasket
converted it to black and white
cleaned up the edges in paint at pixel level i.e just zoom in and fill in the missing dots
used a website to turn it to vector graphic
sent it to the gasket cutter and he said ah its a bit complicated and he never got back to me
a proper 3d part is much harder
if you can build it in some cad program crealty slicer or similar will convert it from a solid into vector based STL file for 3d printing.
depends what you want to do
i usually just get my son to do it

Re: Graphics help
I've got Autocad which produces vectorized images. Is that any good?

Re: Graphics help
Thanks Gents
I have to provide a sign company with Vectorised Graphics to get vinyl decals produced for the car.
My photoshop design is nowhere near good enough quality and they have said to avoid pixelation they will need it in. Vector format.
Not something I can do, so was hoping someone may be able to help it point me in the right direction.
Don’t want to get it wrong or it will look Bananarama!!

Re: Graphics help
Sounds like you need Adobe Illustrator, that uses vectors for graphics. Unfortunately I don't have a copy.
I'm sure you could use Photoshop, save it as a large image.

Re: Graphics help
Aha, cheers. Might be worth a look at some point!
I’ll check if I have access to Illustrator with my Photoshop deal, I never really realised that’s what it was.

Re: Graphics help
Found out I can get a free 7 day trial of Illustrator, then cancel without charge.
As long as it isn't too complex to use, I will give it a go and see if I can do it myself.
Cheers All.
