oh yeh.....

just figured out how to take "any jpg image",and turn it into a "transparent vector" image...which is scaleable without any loss of detail...
which means i,m on the way to making my own rhinestone templates....
just to obtain - rstones for corel x5 or - funtime rhinestones software.....dunno which is gonna be the best...hmmm :rolleyes:

corel draw x5 & photoshop CS5....two of the best programs out there...bloody great imho !

also just completed 2 wks of learning how to make my own animated banner ads for my sites.

this is facinating...and i aint even got to the selling yet lol...:wink:

i know...you have all done this before :biggrin:

you need photoshop & coreldraw - both compliment the other...

would take to long to post how to do it here m8.....youtube is your friend & google

some images / logo's vector easy...others are a right pain in the ass, and need more work done !, but highly worth it if your gonna be printing..



basic example -

[ATTACH=CONFIG]846[/ATTACH]kiss jpg - rough as hell when zoomed in


[ATTACH=CONFIG]847[/ATTACH]kiss vectored

note..vectored one still to be tidyed up in photoshop....was just letting people see the differance when vectored

So basically you do a trace in coreldraw :biggrin:

It cannot be used with any jpeg, as in a photo, which is what I thought you meant.

Cool, have you tried importing the original into photo-paint, increasing it's canvas and pixel size in photozoom pro 2 and then tracing it in coreldraw?
