After spending $500 with signarama and they returned 500 completely different cut stickers,,, time to take matters into my own hands,, this is brilliant.
Mine doesn’t do outline stroke, I went to appearance but when i did offset path it turned it black and didn’t do my whole image that I want. Can you please help TIA
I used this tutorial a while ago and it worked perfectly for me but now when I try it the "Unite" does not work for me when I use it the second time after setting the offset path. Any idea why? I follow each step exactly as in the video
I'm not able to smooth out the line at the end. If I delete the anchor points, it leaves open spaces in those places. Selecting one point and hitting delete, deletes the whole outline.
Hi. How do you smooth out/clean your cut path around the letters at the bottom? It’s so perfect. I use the curvature tool and move points 1 by 1 and it’s not exact.
Hi. What am I doing wrong? I click on Outline and the entire png disappears. Does it need to be a different format? When I did get it to do the outline somehow, it was really jagged with a ton of points on it instead of a nice smooth line. How do I fix this?
This is the best video I have seen on this topic. I had another question, What if I wanted to add a cut out to an image? Would I make a separate cut line layer and then merge the two or keep them separate?
For this tutorial, you should only be using image trace to get the shape of the design. Make sure you switch the result to a stroke with no fill and still have your original raster image below.
What if I wanted to make one vector with cut lines, save as eps file, to later print stickers in several different sizes from said file? How do I keep the offset from changing as I increase or decrease artwork size? Because if I change from a 3 inch sticker to a 5 inch sticker my offset also increases. Or do you suggest making a separate file for each sticker size?? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
hello, your video is very helpful for me. but im wondering can you do the offset path inside the sticker (not outside like shown in the video)? may i know how to do it? thank you very much in advance 😄
Hi, I want to do the cut line to a word bc it's a sticker but I can't , please help. It won't let me use Image trace and when I outline it get whites and I can't use it
I'm working with a png image and text. For some reason the png unselects itself when i click on the 'unite' option, only influencing the text. I did the whole image trace thing, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. ...... Help?
