Lightroom :: How To Convert Bitmap / JPG Type Image To Vector Graphics / Editable Outline

Mar 24, 2013

Corel Draw 5 did this very nicely but it's obsolete and I can't load it onto this machine (HP all-in-one Pavilion desktop with Windows 8).
 
I am working with hand-drawn images but since I need to manipulate the outline/s with a 4 - 12 pixel tool, it would be great to just be editing nodes instead.  Creating the image from scratch as a vector graphic would be a horrible large amount of work and is not feasible at this time.
Is there any way other than Corel Draw 5 to make the conversion from bitmap-type images to editable vector graphics, ie: editable nodes?
 
PS - I don't have $700 - $1000 to spend on  software at this point but do have Photoshop Elements 11, Premiere 11 and Lightroom, plus GIMP and the usual.  Where should I start?

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Convert Image To Bitmap And Outline Trace

Mar 6, 2012

I design t-shirts and one of our biggest customers sells signature shirts.  Below is an example of the problem I'm having.  The second image is the original and the first one is what happens after I convert to a bitmap and outline trace. 

There are always at least 2-3 names with missing letters or filled in letters.  I've adjusted the detail etc while tracing but doesn't seem to work.  I'm on the verge of losing a very important customer.  We've also had to redo several orders because the "glitch" wasn't caught before production.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X3 :: Raster Image To Convert To Vector Format

Nov 22, 2012

I get a raster image to convert to vector format. Here's a part of this image:

I tried tracing but the image resolution is low and I didn't get acceptable results.

I've also tried tracing the edge with line segments and Bezier curves. But when the lines close a polygon the resulting polygon is not what I expect.

What tools to use to convert it to vectors? I use CorelDraw X3 and PS 5.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: PDF - Vector Imported As Bitmap?

May 30, 2013

Marshall's Burger Logo (Red Background).pdf

I receive a PDF file from my client which is their logo.

The text is suppose to be vector, but they appear as bitmap and I cannot apply fill and outline to it.

I can edit the nodes with the Shape Tool after I converted it to AI or EPS format, but still cannot apply fill and outline.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Vector To Bitmap Conversion Inaccurate

Nov 2, 2012

I'd like to create a vector graphic with precise object size and placement so that when I import into PhotoPaint I get a precise conversion.

For example (use no outlines):

make a black square 10mm in diameter create 9 colored squares 2mm in diameter placed 1mm from the edge of the black square and 1 mm from each other copy all your squares paste into photopaint setting size to 10 pixels square and turning anti-alias off what you get is not what you drew in corel draw 

Here's my example as a vector: 

and as a bitmap:

So the squares are completely the wrong size - 1 pixel larger than they should be and in the wrong position!

Interestingly if you import the same vector as a bitmap 100 pixels square it looks better - however you'll notice that the colored squares are, in fact, 21 pixels square and not 20!

The conversion process seems to make every object larger by one pixel in each dimension - not useful. I should note that this effect happens in X5 as well.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 :: Vector Background Behind Grouped Bitmap Objects In PDF

Jun 19, 2012

I have problem with publishing my work in PDF. I have vector background (in thin stripes like) and several polygonal bitmap objects on it but in the PDF-file everything under the bitmap objects is bitmap also... And the stripes (of my background) are very ugly and jagged - part  vector, part bitmap...

Could I complete that work correctly in CDR or have to search some other resolution?

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Imported File Contains Bitmap Filled Vector Which Cannot Break Apart?

Feb 2, 2011

The imported file is probably from Illustrator. The vector element in question is text converted to curves with a CMYK bit map fill. CorelDraw X5 seems unable to extract the bitmap fill from the vectors. What's up with this, is there anyway to extract the bitmap fill?

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X3 :: Trace / Converting Bitmap To Vector As Lines Instead Of Objects

Mar 5, 2011

Whenever I use the Trace option to convert, the result is an image filled with closed objects.  Because I use vector images with a laser machine, and because the laser cuts everything it reads, the "double" lines (shared lines of the objects) get cut as many times as they appear.  So I have to go in and break apart and delete segments & this goes on for days.  I've tried welding, but welding makes one of the objects disappear completely.  I've tried changing from cdr to svg, exporting & importing, hoping it would simplify, but that doesn't work either.  Is there a way to have the bitmap converted to simple lines instead of overlapping objects?

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Wrapping Image / Vector Or Vector Group Around Cylinder?

Jul 29, 2012

I am having trouble doing this in my current software, Serif Drawplus, PSE, Photoplus, (I have Gimp but haven't used it ever yet).  And I am considering buying X6 for use in other projects.  So, can x6 do this in either Photo Paint with a bitmap, or in X6 with a group of Vectors?

I want to wrap a bottle with a logo.  The mesh warps aren't working for me in the above applications, and envelope warping will not work either.  Transform-Warp is not present in PSE.  I mention that because I see a tutorial for PS using that.  How would Corel X6 Suite do this?  I am considering buying the software once some questions I have about it are cleared up.  I wish Corel would make the manual and tutorial videos public.  I'd rather download the trial for actually using it rather than trying to see if some feature is present, or a workaround for a feature a competitor has.

I am also hoping to make in this project, some 10-20 different bottles with the logo on, of different sized bottles and different rotations of the bottles.  Plan D is acquainting myself with Blender, but lets hope I don't have to go that far!

Illustrator :: CS5.5 Type Not Editable Not Selectable With Type Tool?

Jul 2, 2012

Working on a poster in Illustrator. Have added area type, using the type tool. Now I'd like to increase the size of one line. I can't select or edit any of the type with the type tool. I moved the type to a new layer, saved, closed Illustrator, restarted my Mac (OS X 10.7.4). Looked in preferences, in case there's an issue there. No luck.
 
By the way, I also don't see handles when in the selection tool any more. Don't know if that's related.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X3 :: Import SVG File And Convert To Vector Drawing?

Feb 28, 2013

Can you download a Google Docs Drawing file as a file.svg type And then import it to CorelDraw and convert it to a bunch of CorelDraw vector based lines that can be modified like any other CorelDraw line drawing?

BTW, this is a drawing of a character and is simply b&w lines & shapes on a white background.Line widths vary in the original and we want to be able to modify them even more using all the tools in CorelDraw.

I was able to open the .svg file with CorelDraw but when attempting to 'Edit' a line in the drawing I couldn't change the line width... so it isn't behaving like a CorelDraw vector drawing.

Illustrator :: How To Convert Images To Vector Graphics And Resize Without Losing Quality

Nov 27, 2013

Ok i just installed Adobe Illustrator and want to convert some images i created in Photoshop to vector graphics so i can resize the image without it getting blurry.   So i saved the image as a png file and opened in Illustrator.  I chose high fidelity photo from the image trace menu and now the traced image is blurry.  Here is what is happening.
 
The image is 300dpi png file format, i tried eps file format and same result. Resizing in Photoshop causes the images to get blurry, so i installed Illustrator to convert the images to vector graphics and resize without losing quality but this problem has now surfaced.  How do i solve this?
