 Posted: Sun Dec 07, 2008 7:01 am Post subject: Pixel-To-Vector? |
 |
|
I've been using for a while and still haven't found a way to vectorize graphics. I can't really think of a "professional" way to ask this, but is there any way to change medium of preference to vector?
I figure if a less prestigious program like Corel can render in vector and if Adobe's little flash program can manage it, there has to be a way to switch from pixel to vector graphics in Photoshop.
I don't mean rasterize or vector mask. I'm already working at 500 dpi to minimize the jitter from my unsteady pen hand, but working in vector would be ideal for me so my linearts cease to look like they were drawn by a crack addict in withdrawal. =/
If anyone knows how I can switch mediums, or if there's a plugin that can make the switch for me, let me know.
Thanks in advance! |

Hey there,
Photoshop does have some vector drawing tools such as the Pen and Shape Tools, but it's very limited. Photoshop is designed for raster art so there probably won't be too many advances on this in years to come.
The good news is that Adobe does have its own vector drawing program called Illustrator. If you want maximum power when drawing vector artwork then Illustrators the program for you.
You can download a free trial at -
http://www.adobe.com/products/illustrator/?promoid=BPDEG
Go to the bottom left hand side of the page and click on the trial link. You'll just need to open a free account and you'll be able to download the 30 day trial.
Good luck

Ha, I feel silly... I had Illustrator and Imageready confused, so I thought I'd already investigated that possiblity.
Thanks much! :3 |
