  • Create vector image?

    Posted by Stacey Clinch on August 5, 2011 at 9:02 am

    Can anyone help please!!!!!!

    A friend has asked me to produce this for a cake sale they are having TOMORROW!!!! Nothing like a bit of notice!

    Anyway, I am having real problems with my computer at the moment and I can’t make a vector of this image, it keeps shutting my program down.

    Is there any chance someone could help me out with this please????

    Thanks

    PS – This wouldn’t be my choice of image either……but that’s what happens when you work with friends.

    Print out the picture.
    Tape it to a window, and tape a piece of white paper over it. Trace the picture with a sharpie marker then scan it into your design program as a black and white drawing.
    Then you can clean up the nodes and color in the picture.
    Love….Jill

    Hiya Jill

    Thanks for your response – that is exactly what I did first thing this morning, but I am having problems with my software whilst trying to re-drawn it, each time I try to scan the image my program crashes!!!

    I wouldn’t mind if it was a really complex image – but my computer should be able to cope with an image as basic as this!!!

    I think my computer is in weekend mode already!!!

    🙁

    Quick trace and a bit of slap in corel X5. literally 5 mins work but it’ll want tidying up.

    did crash me when i made duplicates for colour reference though, dodgy image perhaps.
