  • help please need to do an outline in illustrator?

    Posted by Micheal Donnellan on August 5, 2006 at 12:49 am

    Sorry for the wrong forum but need to post pics easier than trying to explain.

    example load the "scooby" picture. hit Live trace and adjust to Comic Art setting. Click Expand and then Ungroup. you can then pull away another outline. anyone know a way of stopping this happening in the first place as the pulling apart is not clean and for more complex images it can be a real slow pain.

    I don’t know much about illustrator (obviously) so need smart people to help.

    I think if you use outlines and a fill when you import to signlab you get 2 outlines maybe the same here no fill or no outline.

    live trace turns a raster image to vector. Tried fiddeling with setting but it usually is a case of click and deleate to find all the doulbe line and then give them the proper outlne colour.
