I have a guitar pick jpeg that is a black pen line filled with white I am using for a design. I placed the pick image into Ai and now can't figure out how to change it. I just want to select the image, and transform it into just an outline of the pick, all transparent everywhere except the outline shape of the pick. Almost the same as if I had drawn the pick with the pen tool, but I don't want to have to draw it.

I need to create a line drawing of the outline of a chair. I tried following the various Illustrator tutorials to take the image of a chair and create a silhouette. However, I can't figure out how to take this silhouette and get just the outline of it. The Illustrator Image Trace tool doesn't seem to have an option to just save the outline.
Is there an easy way in Illustrator or Photoshop to turn this silhouette into an outline image that I can save as a file? I will print the outline in a very light opacity so that the lines are barely visible for hand rendering. I don't want to use the pen tool to outline the silhouette because my hand is too shaky to do a good job.
I followed the steps to create a font outline, manipulated the selected font, then moved to a new page-project - I inserted new type - it looks fine at 11 pt, but when I enlarged it, it still has the outline effect - also, the font becomes nothing but a black blob the more I increase the size - seems like the create outline command is still working on a new page.
How do I turn off the create outline command so I can return to regular fonts on new pages?
Is there a capability in 'Illustrator CS6' to use solid lines for the grid, instead of dots, while working in the outline view/mode?
View 4 Replies View RelatedCurrently self teaching myself using 3D on a current project I'm working on. A cable stayed bridge having a span of 30 metres supported primarily by a single diagonal parabolic arch. The arch is square in section but rotated so it looks like a diamond along the arch length. To draw the arch I have drawn the arch sections at intervals along the centreline where it changes size in section 1.4, 1.2, 1.1 and 1.0m. I have then used the loft command to draw the arch using the drawn sections as the objects to loft through.
For the GA drawing I have a plan view and elevation. When printing the generated/ lofted lines are are pixelated and not very crisp or clear (not a solid line).
I have tried adjusting the visual style and shade plot, for each of the options and none of them are giving me a solid crisp outline for the generated arch. I have also had a little play using the visual styles manager but nothing seems to work and also tried maximum quality in the print options.
What do I need to do to print a solid crisp outline for the outline of the arch please, are you able to select the edges of the square and convert them to solid 2d/ 3d lines.

I'm trying to outline an image. In photoshop, I did find edges (save), then opened the image in illustrator and did image trace. I obtained a perfectly outlined image.I can't obtain the same results using illustrator image trace alone.I've adjusted the advance settings a few times to get the same result but with no luck. Threshhold and corner settings are ok, but I'm getting more paths and noise than I want, with the settings at low/1 respectively.I also tried the gray scale setting since the image is mostly gray, expand, etc, but no dice).

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I create something with an outline, the outline will increase or decrease in thickness as I resize the image. So if I have something at say 10" X 10" at 4pt outline, when I resize it to 2" X 2" the outline is like 5X thicker and messes everything up.
Is there a way to combine or something with a vector so the outline auto changes or never changes thickness when resizing the graphic?

I was working in Illustrator CS6 I had made a a bunch of vectors for a background and grouped them. I applied a blur to the group and was still editing the vectors within the group since then. After I saved and closed my file at the end of the day and opened it the next day my vector group is now solid. It seems like it is just a raster image? I can't edit it at all. How can I get it back? If I can't change it back I am going to have to start again!

View 1 Replies View RelatedMost engravings into solids are done in real life with a V shaped engraving bit along a text outline. Having come from a very dated Inventor 7, I was hoping my new Inventor Professional 2012 edition would be able to tackle this with ease. I thought the embossing of text would provide what was needed, but the emboss feature only seems to engrave the solid of the text and not an outline of text. With no luck there, I decided to import an AutoCAD text outline onto the surface of my model and try to sweep the tool shape over the path. I’ve been successful only with text that is composed of straight lines. Any text shape with an arc or line segments is frustrating me like crazy.
I’ve attached a file showing my successful engraving over some letters of the text. This is my desired output.When trying to sweep the tool path along the “R” in the model, an error comes up saying: The attempted operation resulted in the creation of a self-intersecting surface. Try with different inputs.
When trying to sweep the tool path along the “C” in the model, it actually displays a preview of the end result; however, a different error comes up saying: The attempted operation had problems trimming and discarding faces. Try with different inputs.

View 13 Replies View RelatedI have a custom 'text' image - that is, some text that has had a bunch of effects applied to them. One noticeable effect is the wind, which is white (working from a black background).
Now the project I am working on this for has a mostly white background, so I want to have a thin outline of black around the edges of the image (e.g. around the wind effect). Is there an easy way to do this or any way at all (using Photoshop CS6, if it makes a difference)?
I come from a simple software program not as complex as Photoshop. I have upgraded to Photoshop and just learning it. I am using Photoshop CS2 on a PC with a OS of WIN 2000. I have a image and I just want to get the outside outline of this image. It has color and intricate designs inside the image. I want to white them out and just have the outside outline visable with a thick line. The edges of the image are somewhat blurred and I want to sharpen them. I know that you can use the eraser tool to white out the inside, but it is a large image and complex (a lot of curves and zig-zags). The eraser tool is too, in my hands at least, cumbersome. Also, the background of the image is black. I want to make it white.

How do I do this using an action or plugin or something.
I know I can do this manually using the pen tool. But are there other ways?
1. Are there other ways to doing this manually?
2. Are there any actions or plugins to do this?
If I use an action, the outlines might be too detailed for what I need.
3. How do I get a simpler outline? Would it be possible for me to choose that?
