How to vectorize an image Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator cs5 

lol@everyone in the comments who don't have the option to turn up their own volume being mad at the person providing free help.

Thanks a lot! :)

PLEASE. TALK. LOUDER. My speakers don't come with a boost-mode.

Great vid but your desktop horrifies me.

Thanks so much! Super easy and helpful. Now my little logo looks a lot crisper and professional :]

Rule #1 when you are making a tutorial video..... you need to speak clearly if you are going to do tutorial videos...

I did a pretty cool vector version of Batman in his power suit from Batman V Superman. Checkout my channel if you want to see it.

actually skip all the photoshop steps and just live trace the original in illustrator....some tweeks might be needed but you can get the same or better results

anyone know how to do this in Cs6, I cant make the trace options come up

2024 here... Never used AI really, but just needed it for a quick project. Thanks for the help 🙏🏽

It's weird... when I Paste in Illustrator cs6, under 'trace' there are no tracing options >.< just a choice of styles but no tickbox for 'ignore white' >.< And when I ctrl+v'ed a black logo, it traced it into an object with paths both for black and white areas (which supposedly should be empty). Then I had to go in and delete the white parts manually. Any idea why it's like that? :(

Hey i got a problem when i convert jpg colored logo to eps. The problem is following, Logo contains 2 colors Black and Blue plus background which is white, it contains 2 shapes and typography below. When i go path>trace bitmap>color> scans- on 3>update i got like blue outline around my logo and typography below it. The outline shouldn't appear since it dosen't exist. I've tried converting it so many times and i can't get rid of it. Anyone knows how to solve this problem ? PS i need reply realy fast. Thanks in advance.

Hi! I am learning AiCS6 and I am wondering how I can import my logo without it also importing the white background. I do not see Live Trace. I only see Image Trace. I do not see the tracing options when I click on the drop down arrow next to Image Trace. I can not seem to figure it out. Any suggestions?

Hey I'm really new to tNice tutorials, my GMS doesn't soft the sa, more like a continuous buzzing soft, does anyone know what I do? I

First off GREAT choice in image secondly thank you for this saves me subbing Vector magic.

SPEAK UP SONNY.

How come I can't find "LIVE TRACE" in my version (Ai3) of Illustrator? I have successfully transported my Photoshop image into Illustrator, but now I cannot find LIVE TRACE. Weird. Help please!

I hope you answer tNice tutorials bro, I am wondering how can I add plugins from another disk drive if my main drive (where I installed soft soft)

I'm too busy reading these comnts and not paying attention again.....and I'm Nice tutorialgh

If you have Photoshop and illustrator yes you can save an image all you have to do is go onto illustrator copy the back your image and paste it into Photoshop will give you an option if you want to keep it better image for you want to make it into a pixel based image

make my first ever drum loop. I'm not and expert at soft yet but I have learnt a lot at producing and looking back at my journey, I just

good info i wish we didnt have to go thru all the steps to get to what the tutorial is about ....

que perdida de tiempo, directamente pasaba el logo a illustrator y hacia el mismo proceso

I’ve been experinting and posting I tNice tutorialnk I’ve gotten pretty ok for my first year

Agreed. All the others just turn your brain upside down. Nice tutorials is simple.

I have a logo with with more detail. I masked some lettering to reveal a picture. Is there a way to vectorize this?

Im trying to use soft soft to make an FNF mod and tNice tutorials is really helping!

when i click GMS it gives sotNice tutorialng that softs electrical with no app soft whatsoever

In CS6, I don't have the option for "Trace Option" ...

You should have expanded the yellow outlines to meet the black and got rid of that white space.

You look at the comnt and is like "that's a relatable comnt" you look at the replies and lost hope in humanity

Live tracetracing optionschange black and white to color. This will let it trace the lighter colors too.

everytNice tutorialng, I really would pay for a webclass

RIP HEADPHONE USERS

Ive seen two of your videos, and Just cant hear you. Better audio please.

Pls clarify my doubt sir does it have tabla soft????? Pls tell sir

TNice tutorials video really helped! Thank you ❤

Hi how can I convert a pda into a svg or an png I need to use a file that is pda in the Cricut designer space

Thanks so much brother. This helped so much.

Is this supposed to be done in Photoshop and end up in Illustrator?

you just colord the white parts, why so much work

does anyone know where i can get the pirated version of soft soft

speak louder man. the difference between music and your voice is abissal

Thanks !! ... but why did the rectangle stay on the vectorized image ?

what type of file do you save the image as when you are done?

Holy no fricken audio Batman"!!!

Cal Toe Productions It’s worth it

nice! I don't have a plotter yet, but Im going to buy one instead of paying a store. Can I use the plotter to make "reverse cut" stencils so I can airbrush colors into the design then peel off the transfer tape? I paint goalie masks, and normally get a store to make me stencils for me...you can see some of my masks on my channel thx

how do you same the image that is vectorized. should i be save in an illustrator file or other form? can it be saved as a jpg? or a png?

is it possible to save a vector image with just photoshop?

Guys what computer should i use?

Excellent video, thanks dude.

HEY QUESTION, IM NEW AT THIS. HOW COME YOU JUST DID NOT BRING IT IN TO ILLUSTRATOR IN THE BEGINNING?

sorry what did you say I cant hear anything ;(

my speakers are not loud enough to hear =(

That has gotten WAY too easy. Used to have to trace everything by hand. Thanks for the vid.

thank you soooooo much nice and simple

You explained quite well, BUT dude... nobody does that anymore! We go to Corel Draw, Vectorize in 10 seconds and Export to Photoshop!!!!!! You took almost 7 minutes to explain how to vectorize A PICTURE AND THAT'S CRAZY!!! I will teach everybody how to do it in 10/20 seconds on Corel Draw X3 or later (I use X5) -> Import a JPEG -> Go to Trace Bitmap icon upper right -> Click on Quick Trace -> Export to format *.PSD (Photoshop) DONE! It takes 10 or 20 seconds!

Thanks Dude you saved my time.

Making my life easier, thanks!

Hey bro first i like to say great vid. I would like to know what extension do I save my vectorized image as when im done ?

Oh, I goodly want to hear so!

can u speak LOUDER?!

you just saved me 35 dollars from a decal company charging to vector each of my files.... thanks!

Nice. Would've been nice to see the steps of which file format to save it in. EPS? Illustrator file? PNG?

you r the best you yest save me 500$

When you copy the vectored image back to Photoshop and select "pixel" does the image stay vectorized? And as which extension do you save the image as? Thanks for the good tutorial

Good tip but, aside from you intro/exit music, it was VERY hard to hear what you were saying. I suggest you redo this tip so you can be heard.

Thank you Chris. I really appreciate it and that was exactly what I was trying to do. No fuss and helping people get on with what they need

how's it going so far?

if you cant follow along with zero volume you prolly should just stick to microsoft paint

how tracing image (like video) in il cs5? i'dont found this toolbar

Honestly once explained it's fairly intuitive. Thank you for breaking it down so nicely for us newbies! Can't wait to play with the full version

I found "Live Trace" but through Photoshop's Adobe Bridge function believe it or not. There's a function there apparently that allows you to automatically turn a "pdf" file directly into a "Live Trace" file which then automatically opens in Illustrator. I have to admit though, I DID create the PS image without a background, because I already knew that I didn't want any other colors or an actual background in the Illustrator image. Seeing as how it needed to be a vector image. It worked.

great tutorial. question - does the original file have to be high resolution or quality for live trace to work? Also can you save down the vector file as jpeg? I want to do something like this with an old logo.. then print on tee shirt.

funny how this video is about making an image crisp when the quality of the video only goes up to 360p

Thank You! Great Tutorial!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very Helpful in understanding the difference!

After tracing + expanding when pasting back into PS regardless of the option I select it contains pixels still. Help?

very cool thanks for the tip, this is some good stuff

Thank you very much!!! awesome video. images get traced a lot better then just putting the image in illustrator and have it do it all at once.. Make more sticker design videos please

MasTeR ChaNNeL h-HUh

plz talk louder

I was in the situation to vectorize a one color very complex design and I was about to do it manually in photoshop since I needed a transparent background. Bun in your video I saw the "ignore white" box and saved my a couple of hours of work. Thanks a lot man! Keep up the good work! Your video is very useful and easy to understand.

YOU SPEAK SO LOW MAN!!!

Me too. Did you figure it out?

do one for the superman logo

Thank you so much.

Great video! I tried many other steps that didn't work and this one did. Thank you!

Please do subtitles
