Photoshop :: Combining Vectors
Mar 25, 2006Is it possible to combine vectors without rastersizing them? I made something in 2 vectors that I should have made in 1.

View 2 RepliesI'm working on a program that requires me to analyze a series of 3D coordinates (which describe the start and end points of individual lines) and combine those points that are collinear (there are lots of smaller line segments, some of which are co-linear and overlapping in space) into one single line.
how to analyze these points to find out which ones can be combined. For example, I might have 6 lines, 3 are separate and have their own specific orientation, but 3 are overlapping and in the same direction (look as a single line on the screen). I'd like to modify my point list so that it describes 4 lines... (the 3 individual ones and one which combines the 3 overlapping lines).
Photoshop 7.0 and came across vectors....They seem pretty complicated, although I know how to use them, I would like to know what are vectors used for? Selections?

Is there a way to use vectors in photoshop or will they be pixelated? Lastly if I have to use both can I have a file open in both programs at the same time?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI've entered a contest that requires you create a window wrap for a car (back window, side windows, passenger side windows, etc.) The contest sponsors provided a template, and it's huge - 65 mb, 177.82 x 36.907 inches, 266743 width x 5536 height in pixels. I reduced the template size to make it easier to work with. So of course when I finished the art and returned the template to its original size and looked at it at 100%, my art looked pixelly.
So I decided to try the Bitmap Trace tool in Xara to change the Photoshop art into vectors (I use Photoshop Elements 4, which doesn't have a vector pen). When I used the Bitmap Tracer, it turned the art into this really neat impressionistic-looking style, that I like even better than the original. But although it's better, the art still looks a little fuzzy when I look at it at 100%.
I am using Xara and I have a designer using CS5. We have tried a couple of formats including eps and psd, but they dont import properly.Whats the best way to translate the work in CS5 to Xara Designer Pro?

I'm having some trouble and I was wondering if anyone could help me out. Here's the deal: I'm designing something using vectors in photoshop (pen tool). It's all going pretty good but my file's getting rather small. I need more room to make my vectors in but if I create a new bigger file and individualy drag the vector layers into that they all get positioned differently.
How do I get my vector layers in a bigger file without them changing position from one another?
I'm quite the novice with Photoshop. I have to deliver a Tshirt design to a print company in about a day, and they need it in EPS format, vectorized.
Could someone please walk me through how to do this?
I just downloaded the trial version of adobe photoshop elements 7.0 and I'm not to sure on how to work it. I end up doing better graphics on paint than on adobe so I think I need a different application.I am trying to do an orginal graphic vector for my sisters blog but I dont think we downloaded the right software. Should I have downloaded adobe illustrater?

Since I've purchased and installed Photoshop CS6, I can no longer properly import smart objects from Illustrator.
Vector in Illustrator:
Pasted as a smart object in Photoshop CS6 (notice the lack of half-pixels):
When I create a rectangle shape the edge is blured slightly with one pixel of color. How do I make sure the rectangle is sharp? I cannot find the option to click off anti-aliasing on the option bar in CS4, anyone know where it went?

I bought some vector eps files from Shutterstock. Most of these vectors are a bunch of smaller image elements.(For Instance Icons)What I would like to do is to find a way to batch crop all of the layers out of the eps and into png files.Of course they would need slightly different names.
I have seen where you can do something similar, but the smaller images are on a full size transparent background. I would prefer that they are auto cropped.I have the full CS6 Through Adobe Creative Cloud. So I can use illustrator for part of this if needed.
In Photoshop CC for Mac I have...
Created layers of vector artCombined them into a smart object. Enlarged the smart object (both via "Transform" and "Image Size") Upon enlarging, the vector objects look the way an enlarged bitmap would (i.e. fuzzy, pixelated, terrible) instead of crisp and clean as a vector should look. I've double- and triple-checked to make sure all layers have remained vector after resizing and they have.
This is a terrible inconvenience for anyone that works heavily with vector smart objects and resizes them. I use this workflow on a daily basis to make adapting interface elements for various screen resolutions easier, without it I am beyond screwed.
Screenshot proof below:
I have 4 pictures that I would like to combine into 1 big 'picture' to use as my desktop. I have tried cut and pasting but the new window isn't big enough.

Now what I want to do is draw another outline inside that leg outline, but I don't want 2 end up with 2 separate shapes (2 layers), I want to draw the 2nd outline directly into the first one, so it's all one big vector shape.
For some reason this seems impossible to do in Photoshop CS6. If I select combine shapes, from the menu, free form pen tool and then draw the 2nd outline into the 1st outline, when I stop drawing I don't end up with one outline combined (on top of) the first, instead it just seems to do some weird clipping and I end up with the first outline shrinking, and the outline I just drew appearing not as an outline but as a path.
This is something that works perfectly in Flash pro, you draw a shape, you draw another one on top and you then have both perfectly combined, no fuss no bother. You can even vary the stroke strength at any point along the line in Flash, I'm not sure this is even possible in Photoshop.
