Photoshop :: Automatic Vector And Straightening An Image
Jan 15, 2009
I have a requirement to take a relatively simple technical line drawing (think circuit diagrams etc) that have been hand drawn and then somehow convert them into a nice sharp and neat diagram that looks like it had been done in illustrator or Visio.
I know that image editing tools such as Illustrator allow you to "vectorize" a bitmap image but the thing I don't about is whether any of the applications can automatically straighten and correct lines and give me a "nicer" picture as a result?
Does anyone know if this sort of thing is even possible?
I just downloaded the trial version of CS2. I have a lot of images on my computer that I scanned into my computer. Naturally, these images were not centered when I used my scanner.
I was just wondering if Photoshop has any features that would allow me to slightly rotate my image to make it completely straight?
I need to do a small bit of horizon straightening on an image which I have.
Using the rotation tool is fair enough.
Under clipping I select crop to result.
In the rotation dialog i enter the angle ( -.7 )
When I click rotate, it goes through the motions of a status bar advancing (green bar), but when it is finished doing its thing the image vanishes entirely, and i'm left with what looks like a transparent background.
If in clipping, I select 'Adjust', it rotates fine but I have to crop the result manually to have the image 'square' with no transparent angled edges.
How the rotation tool works? I'm using Gimp 2.6.4 on Windows Vista.
I am making myself a logo in photoshop. I have made all the letters that will be used, but they are all seperate entities as most of you who have used vectors know. I would like to interconnect the letters, as well as an angel I have made to go above the letters. My question is, how can I join two seperate vector images into one vector image. For example, joining a letter E with a letter D. I wonder if theres a way to do this without having to delete part of each image and then re-draw, which is a pain. Sorry if this isn't really clear, but its hard to explain.
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!
I am really new to photoshop... i have been trying to make vector art from live images but failed ...make this given live image like the another image which is vector.
In InDesign if i move my folder with images just by re-linking one image of the folder ALL will be linke at once by their names. In Illustrator i have to re-link manually one by one. Am i doing something wrong? Should i have some command selected? Can i do it through a plugin?
I notice that when i import RAW images into Lightroom and open them up, they immediately become dull, less vibrant and very different o the in-camera image. I have tried to find whether there is asetting which applied automatic adjustements to the image but have been unsuccessful. This doesn't seem to happen when i use the Canon RAW processing software.
After using the straighten tool, I end up with the picture within its own borders the way I want, but it appears on top of another piece of white paper, and skewed on that white paper…how do I get just the straightened picture without it appeared on top of the “white paper”? I am using Photoshop elements 10 on an i Mac desktop.
I'm trying to straighten a crooked photo. The instructions in the Editor space say I should click the Straighten tool, draw a line on the photo, and the image will rotate to the angle of the line. I did exactly that and even though the line got drawn, the photo didn't move.
i have photographed an old book of mine, and i am batch cropping and straightening the photos in photoshop, but the cropping fluctuates from, in some shots, editing out just the borders around the book, which is what i want, to editing out one whole page (of the two per photograph)- something i do not want. there does not seem to be any logic to what is edited out or not, it seems random. can anybody help with this inconsistency problem?
i want to edit out just the border (background) around the book, but leave both pages in the photograph. why at times is the program editing out whole single pages leaving only one page per photograph?
P.S. just to update, i have realised that perhaps the problem has to do with the fact that the two pages on the book have, like all books, a dark line vertically down the centre between both pages where the binding is. think of a photcopied page which has a dark line down the centre separating left from right page. i believe that photoshop reads that black centre-line as a border itself and so edits one page out; it assumes the black line is a border and edits out everything outside of it (which contains the other page).
now i'm not sure how to overcome this. is there a way i can set it so that the cropping feature works on some rough template to do with size? the page sizes are relatively similar, so if it used a size-type template to crop, it would work well. this problem is random and not all photographs are problematic, but quite a few seem to cut out one whole page.
I use Illustrator CC.I have made a custom Image Tracing Preset and want to use it on a folder containing a sequence of pictures I want all to vectorize automatically. Programming an Action isn't an option as the Action recorder doesn't record which tracing preset is used for image tracing. I found I can use the pre-installed Image Tracing Script [URL] in which I only need to specify the correct number of the Image Tracing Preset. And that became a big problem.
I'm working my way through Adobe Photshop 7, ClassRoom in a book. I'm now on lesson three and I'm completely stuck. I have my image open (its not straight and needs cropping)and I have selected the cropping tool and entered the width and height dimensions.
The book then tells you to use the marquee tool to select the area that you want to keep, which I have done. But then things go sour for me. It says after you release the mouse button a cropping shield covers the cropping selection, and the tool bar option now displays choices about the cropping shield. This doesn't happen for me. I just get a broken outline around the area I want to crop.
Also, it says in the tools option bar make sure that the Perspective Check box is not selected. I can't find this on the toolbar.
And, finally,it says, In the image window move the pointer outside the crop marquee, so it appears as a curved double arrow. Then clockwise to rotate the marquee until it is parallel with the edges of the pictured window frame. Again, this doesn't happen for me, all that happens is the pointer changed to a cross.
Does anyone know of a way to automate adjusting the cropping frame after straightening a picture using the Measure tool?
I have a friend who is verticality challenged. He seems incapable of getting a shot straight. He just shot a big Christmas party and has over a hundred shots to straighten. I have to straighten one occasionally myself. It seems tedious and unnecessary to have to adjust the cropping frame every time after straightening the picture.
I teach elementary photoediting using all versions PS and PSE. Somewhere along the line I ran across a version of PSE that automatically did this. It fit the cropping frame to the picture content so, if you just wanted to remove the exposed canvas you could click crop and you were done.
Looking for the process to straighten the lines on an equirectangular panorama I have made with a series of images with a 15mm fisheye lens. I would like to create a true parallel with these files if possible.
My current photo editing software (Microsoft PhotoDRaw) has the ability to do this and wondering if I can achieve the same in CorelDraw X5 or PhotoPaint Pro X3. I just reinstalled both and need to start using them since PhotoDraw only work up till Windows XP and I use Virtual Machine to run it.
Here you go. If say I open a new project to any page size of my choice and import any image (any size) into the page. Is there a way I can automatically fit the page to the image size in either CorelDraw X5or PhotoPaint X3? That is, if my default page size is letter (8.5"x11") and I import an image that is 2.2"x5", can I automatically fit the default page to the fit the image at 2.2"x5"? Really very handy too. Can I also do the reverse image to paper size? If I can do either, where do I go?
I have a vector image of a jersey and I'm trying to photoshop it onto a fictional character. The problem is that the jersey's arm is vertical. The man's arm that I'm trying to photoshop it onto is bent. I was wondering since the jersey is a vector image, is there any possible way I can manipulate the sleeves of the jersey to a bent shape so it can have a more realistic look when I photoshop it onto the man.
I'm not sure if this can be done on photoshop cs2 or other adobe program, but here's the question anyway:
I have a jpg file of text characters(attached) and like to: #get rid of the white background #change the characters to different color or maybe add texture or shadow #and convert the image into a vector
any tips on how to do this? I'm still very new at using graphics software. my objective is to use it as a watermark.
I totally suck with PS, so I was wondering if I could get some help vectorizing this image. I'd like to change the color and make it look more "Web2.0-ish", nah mean?
I created a logo for a family member's new restaurant in photoshop but now it's time to make that logo into a sign.
The company doing it needs a vector image obviousy, and I'm just wondering how you do that? The company doing it was useless so I'm hoping for some input from you guys.
I have a logo that I created for test purposes at a lower resolution. Is it possible to take the active selection of the logo and create a vector from it without having to manually trace over it with the pen tool or adobe illustrator (I do not own illustrator). If I could do this within Photoshop that would be my preference.
