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?
View 8 RepliesI'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 realize that one can use a Bitmap as a Fill for some shape and that one can tile it.But is there also a way to create some Vector-Shapes as an interactive Fill for some other shape - while having the Input retain editable?

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.

Since I've purchased and installed Photoshop CS6, I can no longer properly import smart objects from Illustrator.
Vector in Illustrator:

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.

My CorelDraw X5 is working perfectly. I have received some artwork from the client for business cards and the second page is just not printing. Artwork attached.
When you do a print preview it clearly shows that the artwork will print. I've tried to print it to Adobe PDF but no luck. I then tried to use Enfocus Pitstop and interesting enough it reports on the errors that the second page is blank.
I can print it if I convert the artwork to a bitmap but what is the point of having your text in curves if you need to make it a bitmap? I hope it's as easy as changing a setting/properties of the vector to enable it to print.
Have Illustrator CS6, Medium Baboo tablet. I can draw well but it seems almost impossible to get the quality of my sketch work to go to Illustrator in a way I am happy with. I do not like what I see from scanner to Imagetrace either. This is largely due to my inexperience in the process from sketch to vector to t-shirt. how you approach this process from a pad of paper to Illustrator?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded from CorelDRAW 11 to X5 and have started having issues. I print primarily text and vector images on a UNIVERSAL engraving laser.
Since I upgraded there have been several times that vector images will add random vectors stretching halfway across the piece I'm engraving, completely ruining it. The vectors are completely random in their placement and occurance. I've printed to the engraver 3 times in a row with identical settings and had it do the additional random vector 2 different ways then the third time print out completely fine.
I'm trying to use motion vectors that I rendered from Maya 2011 using Mental Ray's 2D Vectors for Toxik preset. The vectors work for blurring in Toxik and Nuke but when I bring them into CFX, the Motion Blur node goes crazy and shows arrows going off in all different directions. Is there a different format for rendering motion vectors from Maya for CFX or is this a Smoke 2013 bug?

For a project, I'm needing the mathematical equations/formulas/matrices of a vector. Vectors are all essentially mathematical... thingies so is there some way that I can get the mathematical calculations that are used to make up a vector object in Illustrator? Or any third party program or script that can pull these formulas for me?

When I export a file that has powerclipped vectors (as well as non-clipped vectors) as a tif file, they print a different color.Especially black, the non-clipped black prints a nice rich black, the power-clipped vector
that is the same black, prints muddy?? I have to extract all the contents to get them consistent.
I'm thinking it has to do with the way corel handles powerclipped objects.Printing on a versacamm, using versaworks. Exporting as tif, RGB.
For some customers I need to insert logos and have to vectorize them. No matter what I do on some bitmaps when I trace them to make them vectors for my cutting equipment they still look awful.
