Any Adobe Illustrator experts here?
I am very new to A.I. But I have received CS6 for my Norooz present and I'm trying to clean up the edges of a black on white (and some grey) logo (JPG file) by saving it in .ai and using the 'Image trace' tool. It cleans up the edges pretty well but two problems are occurring here:
1- The grey part vanishes when I use 'Image trace.' 2- There are some hard corners that I want to keep, but when I use trace it does unwanted softening but replacing the hard corners with curves. How can I get around these problems? Is it some sort of setting that I need to change in either or both cases. Is there a better tool than 'Image trace' to do the job. I'm doing this for a friend who needs it ASAP. The design is very strong, but the presentation is killing me. Help please. Last edited by Frankie; 03-27-2013 at 11:51 AM.. |

Trace in as grayscale or color, not b/w.

You may have it trace what it will and redraw the rest.

I came in here, and realized I don't have any idea of anything being said.

I haven't used AI since I was doing page layouts.
Stick to CS, use the undo button, and play around when you have time.

I'm pretty sure Demonpenz is. I've saw some of his handy work here first hand.

Learn Adobe Illustrator, then try it again.
