rtbiscuit Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I have photoshop CS5 and i use it infrequently, i would love to be more proficient on it, but by the time i get round to using it i forgot what i last taught myself. The problem. I have a logo that has edges which are very blury and its making it difficult to get an outline of it for vinyl cutting. I know i want to turn the logo into a vector but i'm just not having any luck. any advice would be great. what have i done so far. i managed to use the wand tool to get the outline i managed to copy it onto a new layer i managed to turn the wand tool outline into a work path and after that i'm about stuck. i've now watched the best part of about 2 hours of PS guides but non seem to cover what i want to do. i have sincve learnt how to draw uing vector shapes. i've learnt how to vector mask so that i can put an image onto a new back ground. but nothing on how to take a simple logo and turn the outline into a vector. http://www.carlogo.org/lsj/new_jaguar_logo__2_1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoogyRev Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Do you have the full CS suite? I find Fireworks much easier to use than photoshop, especially for logo type designs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M13KYF Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 it is for vinyl cutting, all vector based so you never have an issue with pixels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
