Hey guys/gals,

This question is hard to explain, but I'll host the image to show what I'm talking about.

I have the following image:



I want to follow and extend the curve/edges of the image to make it look like this:



It is a vector image obviously and I want to maintain that, but is this something I can do in photoshop or illustrator?

Thanks for your help!

Hi urbanity,

Illustrator is a drawing programme, so it's better suited to vector shapes than Photoshop is, still, Photoshop does have a nice selection of vector based tools available but not as many as Illustrator.

In saying that, the work you want done above could be done in either programme with the pen tool.

Hope this helps

urbanity,
In Photoshop you can add adjustable strokes through the "Stroke" style (Layer > Layer Style > Stroke)
