Photoshop help

I have Adobe Illustrator but i dont know which version you preer.

.............................................

The best way to do it is bring it into photoshop first. Save the image as a tiff first.

Vectorization really only works for very contrast-y images with limited, non-gradated colors.

Basically, illustrator (cs2 and cs3 ONLY) will group areas of similar color together and me them into vector shapes.

So, the less colors the better, black and white (with very little gray) is the best.

After saving it as a tiff, import it into AI.

With the image selected, choose OBJECT>LIVE TRACE>TRACING OPTIONS. this will let you refine the settings.

After this, choose MAKE AND CONVERT TO LIVE PAINT from the same menu.

After that, choose OBJECT>LIVE PAINT>RELEASE.

You're eve better doing it through Adobe Streamline if you can find it.

I don't think they make it anymore, and only for PCS. Its a very simple, effective program.

Flash is your third option.

I forget exactly what its under, but it goes something like this:

Import the image to the stage, then from the dropdown menue (i'm foggy on which one) chose TRACE BITMAP, and enter the values that you wish.

Then, save the file as an EPS.

Hope this helps!

yeah....AI is Adobe Illustrator artwork file. I dont have time to download it now. And I need to convert files to Ai format.

I dont have CorelDraw. I only have adobe photoshop CS2.

Alternatively you can import .jpeg or .psd or .tiff file into CorelDraw if you have

Then you can save it as A.I.
