Illustrator :: Can Import Settings From CS5 Live Trace To CS6 Image Trace

Oct 7, 2012

I'm loving CS6 Illustrator, except for one thing. Image Trace. Here, Adobe seem to have taken away the two most usefull settings from Live Trace, and replaced all the presets with ones that are pretty much unusable. I almost always used either 'Comic Art' or 'Lettering' to trace hand-drawn images, but they're both gone. None of the new settings are good enough, even if I make a custom one. The main issue is that the sliders in Image Trace are for completely different things to those in Live Trace, so it's difficult to translate one set of settings into the other.
 
With Image Trace, I cannot get the same results as with Live Trace, and so far, have found myself having to have Illustrator CS5 open at the same time as CS6, just so I can get workable traces.
 
I don't know if it's possible, but is there any way to import the presets from Live Trace, or even the full tool, into CS6, to replace the new Image Trace presets?how to make the equivelant of Comic Art  in Image Trace's new settings?This is a close up of a file I was trying to trace, showing the major difference in quality between the two CS versions.
 
Left: CS5 - Comic Art setting.
Right: CS6 - This is a custom setting, but is the closest I have come to Comic Art thus far.

As you can see, the definition of Image Trace is far lower in quality than Live Trace, giving me one large connected blob of colour rather than the distictly separate lines produced in Live Trace.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Which Release Can Import .jpg To Trace Over

Nov 1, 2013

I learned Autocad on release 12 and then migrated to r14 and 2001. Nowadays most drafting is done with r14. However I want to be able to insert a .jpg into the drawing

environment and draw lines over it. Specifically, I want to take pictures of Christopher Dressers designs and bring them into Autocad and then trace over them. I feel I will get a huge education into architectural ornament as well as becoming more facile with lines.

I haven't kept up with Autocad's upgrades but undoubtedly the later releases have this functionality. Which one will work?

Illustrator :: Image Trace Results Different With Same Import Files

Sep 27, 2012

I'm working on pdf image files, 300 dpi, and I want to use the Image Trace tool to vectorized these ones. The result has to be under 4 colors, and the file is a mozaic of photos calibrated 3mm x 3mm.
 
The purpose is to vectorize the whole image ( composed with approximately 800 photos )I did different tests with the settings of the Image Trace tool with samples of 12 x 12 mm ( 4 photos x 4 photos ) and the result is correct. But when I try to do the same with the entire image, the result is just horrible The entire image is sized 200 mm height and 130 mm width, but the import format is exactly the same than the samlpes I made my presets on.

I was thinking that Illustrator should act the same with the full image than with the small one, it just took more time to calculate the rendering, but apparently not.

Illustrator :: How To Use Live Trace With Images

Sep 20, 2012

Is it better to use Live Trace with images that have no color and are just black and white and to apply all color in AI with Live Paint bucket or can you get good results with images that have color when using Live Trace?

Illustrator :: Image Trace Doesn't Work With Large Images

Sep 30, 2013

Illustrator's Image Trace doesn't seem to work at all with large images.  The attached image shows the following:

A) The original raster cropped tightly.

B) Converting the raster with default "Black and White Logo" settings.  Results in 242 paths and 4792 anchors.

C) Adding a massive amount of white space and then converting the raster with default "Black and White Logo" settings.  Results in 407 paths and 1620 anchors.
 
For whatever reason Illustrator can't seem to handle large images.  This test shows it's not an issue with the image being too complex since all I've done is add white space and the file was saved without compression so there should be no noise.

This type of glitch started with CS6 with the new Image Trace tool.  Maybe setting Image Trace into legacy mode?

Illustrator :: Results In Image Trace Don't Match Live Trace

Aug 8, 2012

I just started using CS6, jumping from CS3. A major tool I use is Live Trace, and I have custom settings for that. I cannot find a way to make Image Trace behave the way Live Trace did for black and white line drawings. The results I get in CS6 are far inferior to those I got in CS3 in terms of retaining the look of the original raster image. Otherwise, I will have to leave CS3 installed just to do my Live Trace.
 
Here is a sample of what I mean. You can see the quality degredation in CS6 compared to CS3. (And it's much more obvious when it's full size and full resolution.)
 
My settings used in Live Trace (CS3) were:
 
The settings I tried in CS6 that gave the above result were:

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 :: Using Outline Trace Function / Resolution Of Images

Dec 14, 2012

I have a question about using the outline trace function and resolution of images.

Say for instance, I am trying to create an existing logo for a customer in which I have to pull the image off the internet. I am unable to find an image that is high resolution, so I pick one with a lower resolution, because after all, I am going to trace the logo to cut out on my cutter with a heat transfer application. It is a simple design, a heart for instance. So when I use Corel Trace, no matter how small beforehand I make said heart, when it traces it comes out jagged, like the pixelation you see on a low res image.  Is there any way to smooth this out? Or do I just need to look harder for a higher res image?

Lightroom :: After Import Images Adjust To Cross Process 1 Not Set In Import Settings

Nov 4, 2012

This issue occured shortly after update to 4.2, but not directly after. I am using windows 8.
 
The issue that occurs is after importing images they are adjusted automatically to develop module cross process 1. After dealing with this annoyance for a bit of time I realized that I can not even "RESET ALL" the images to delete the adjustment. In delving into other images that have been in my database for quite some time, I have tried to "RESET ALL", which resets images to CROSS PROCESS 1. I have never set import to automatically adjust.

Lightroom :: Import Images - Import Module Freezes For A Few Minutes?

Mar 13, 2012

I just upgraded from LR3.6 to 4.0. When trying to import images the import module freezes for a few minutes and then displays the import screen. However, when selecting a source the program freezes again and eventually crashes.
 
I had the same issue when upgrading to 3.6 some time ago and then found that disabling some USB controllers solved the problem. This works for LR4 as well. As I don't need all USB connections this is a workable solution, however, disabling controllers should not be necessary to run a program.
 
System is an Acer Aspire 7811 64 bits w/ Intel i7, Win 7 Home Premium, 8 GB internal mem and no external drives.

Lightroom :: Why Doesn't Auto Import Actually Import Images Into Catalog

May 19, 2012

I'm using LR4 with a Canon camera setup (Wind 7 Ultimate). I've got the auto import setting all configured with an incoming folder and destination. The app recognizes when an image is put in incoming folder and in fact it moves it to the destination folder. What is really annoying is that it leaves me at the import settings dialog and then I have to make all these choices as I would if I were manually importing.
 
Shouldn't the images be places in the desination folder and some view of that image be displayed in LR? It could be the folder view or ideally I want to see the last image imported at 1:1 size so I can review it and see if I want to take another shot?  Maybe there is some flag I've got set incorrectly.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: No Longer Import Aerial Images From Google Earth

May 23, 2012

I just upgraded my entire department to 2013 from 2008.  We can no longer import aerial images from Google Earth, publish KMLs or export generic Microstation design files (we have to choose from V7 & V8.) 

I can't beleive this "upgrade" actually downgraded our functionality as a department.  We can no longer provide sevices to those requiring these file formats and will be forced to discontinue the use of CAD for many of our projects.

Lightroom :: 3.6 - How To Import Images As DNG

Jun 22, 2012

I really am utterly confused by LR.3.6
 
What I am doing is for every new set of images, say a wedding, I am setting up a new catalogue on the off board HD.
 
I then import the images as DNG's & that's after first off loading them as the original Nikon RAW files (I don't trust either LR or myself to get it right) onto another HD.
 
So, now I have 2x copies.

One original non-PP RAW files

One open in LR as DNG's which I then work upon.
 
Now, a few days later, I plug in the HD into my PC and Lo! File name is off line or missing.
 
This happens more often than not, so maybe 75% of my work flow is stymatised by having to work out what's happened or I have to start again on the PP.
 
At this point, I am trying to both open the .lrcat file either from within LR / File /  Open Recent or directly from the file on the offboard HD.
 
I can see the DNG's but LR seems unable to do so.
 
What error am I making?
