GIMP :: Coloring Outline Drawing And Removing The Outline?

Jan 10, 2013

I have a black-and-white outline drawing that I want to color in using the "Bucket Fill" tool. There are two things I'd like to do to make it easier:

1. Is there a way to prevent Bucket Fill from leaking through small gaps in the drawing? Usually what happens is, I fill in one region, and then suddenly a much larger region gets filled in. I then have to examine the borders of the region for a small opening, close the gap with black, and then try again. Is there a feature that lets me say e.g. "Don't fill through gaps less than 4 pixels wide"?

2. Once I'm done coloring, I want to remove the black outline to make a more realistic, less cartoony image. However, it's tedious to go and paint over every segment of the outline with the color of its adjoining regions. What I want to do is essentially: Replace every black pixel in the image with the color of the closest non-black pixel. Is there a feature that does this?

Also, if there are third-party plugins that do these things, that would work just as well.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X3 :: Importing Objects (Simple Outline Drawing)

Jun 23, 2009

we use Corel Draw but different versions. Some of us use the X4, some X3 and some even 12 or 11. We have huge problem with the time interval past while importing even a single simple outline drawing. We usually wait from 4 - 7 minutes.

My question is what could be the problem? Different versions of Corel Draw?, bed LAN connection?, or something else?

how to draw and big fat line - about 24 pt - with rounded ends, then give that line an outline of its own so I can change the 'fill ' - the original line colour - and get an outlined line?

And just for fun, I want the 'fill' to be semi-transparent!

AutoCad 3D :: How To Print Solid Crisp Outline For Outline Of Arch

Jan 2, 2013

Currently 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.

Illustrator :: Get Path Outline To Cut Out The Shape Below

Feb 26, 2013

I have been playing around a bit - and think the answer lives somewhere in compound paths, but can't quite get it right.
 
In the example below, I essentially want the anter to cut out it's outline shape into the axe. Same with the shield over everything.
 
This is essentially so I can place the logo over all sorts of backgrounds, without having to have a white outline on it.

Illustrator :: Odd Separated Shape On Outline

Jul 9, 2012

The oject below has an unwanted small yellow shape on its edge.

Not sure why it is there as an identicle object within the same project doesn't have it!
 
How can I connect them again so they are one?

Whilst I am doing this is it also possible to connect the other yellow areas in this image so I can recolor them all together whilst testing colors?

I tried using the: Shift+Select all object>Ctrl Click>Group (& tried "Join" also) but doesnt seem to connect them!

Illustrator :: CS6 - Image Trace (Outline)

Jun 19, 2012

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).

Illustrator :: Creating Outline Of A Shape

Mar 21, 2013

I'm new to illustrator and I'm trying to achieve something I hoped would be quite simple. I want to take a bitmap, live trace it, then create an outline of 2px wide only around the outside limits of the shape. I want to then get rid of all of the live trace vectors and be left with my very simple outline of the original image. Eg.

I've tried image expand, I've tried outline, but nothing seems to work as I need it to.

Illustrator :: Vector Outline Graphic

Oct 3, 2013

I have sent an image to a printer in eps & Ai format., but he is requesting the the logo be in an outlined vector graphic, And send it to them again in pdf format.
 
I have re-opened the pdf that I sent them in Illustrator and find the logo is composed of many shapes and when I use the 'direct selection tool' to select any letter within the logo, it shows an outline with many anchor points. These anchor points can be moved or re-shaped using the 're-shape' tool.
 
Also I can select any shape within the logo & resize and it does not seem to lose any quality at all.
 
Am I mistaken in thinking that this is already an outlined vector logo or is there more to it?

Illustrator :: How To Turn A Silhouette Into Outline

Oct 2, 2013

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.

Illustrator :: Logo Outline Transparent For Web?

May 25, 2013

I have created a logo. I did it with black fill and white lines. This works well for a white background, like in print; but for the web the white needs to be transparent so the background colors show through and where lines cross you can see the background.
 
I have tried making the lines with out fill, but of course, that gives no defination of the small spaces that I want not to be black.

I'm making an extension panel, and I want to convert some fat roundendcapped lines to paths, but it seems there's no command for this in the SDK.

Object -> Path -> Outline stroke

I made an Action that calls Outline stroke from the menu, but then I got stuck again, because I can't find a way to call that action from my panel.I see Photoshop has an ActionList stuff. I'm looking for something like that in Illustrator.

Illustrator :: How To Switch To Outline View

Jun 27, 2013

I am using Illustrator Cs6 on windows and when I used to switch to outline view there used to be a crosshair mark showing the center of shapes and the same mark for stray points, and about a week ago those marks have disappeared. I checked the attributes window to make sure the center mark is on and its still not showing centers in outline mode. Did i accidentally change a setting i didnt know about? if so is there a fix? those center crosshairs sure were useful...

Illustrator :: How To Outline / Simplify A Transformed Object

Sep 7, 2012

Using CS5.  I have a solid shape with a hollowed center (see far left image). I applied a transform effect to make it look "3D" by offsetting it slightly 32 times (see middle image.  see far right image to see what it looks like selected).  I want to simply have the middle image, but without all the paths and lines - I just I want it outlined. I tried to expand it, group it, pathfinder-add - nothing seems to work.
