Honestly I want to know the steps…don’t care why right now, just want to NOT spend 3 hours on something that should take 20 minutes to design. I have Inkscape but am not opposed to anything else that makes design EASY, SIMPLE, DUMB GUY TERMS. I don’t understand stacks, scans, layers, or anything else remotely close these “technical” terms.Īll I want is the absolute easiest way to take a simple image found on a Google search and convert it to something that I can work with. I’ve watched Youtube videos, read online tutorials, and read info thus far on this thread and am still completely confused. This takes the nice paths out of photoshop’s selection and turns them into vector artwork in AI.īack to this…AGAIN…So life shouldn’t be so hard for an old simple minded guy that just wants to make some neat stuff on his CNC router. Anyway you can do something different if you have AI (maybe GIMP/Inkscape can do this too?) with your selection instead of filling it in, you can convert your selection to paths, and then "export paths to illustrator). So now you can fill with the correct color (as below) - and never use JPEG for this as you get compression artifacts, PNG is a way better way to do this. You can invert the selection (command-shift-I) now you have the hearts. So now you have the opposite of what you want. So the way I solved it was to bring this into photoshop (or GIMP - free if you don’t have AI) and then selected the white background area with the magic wand tool (don’t do a color select or you get all the bleed through points where the paper is showing inside the hearts). Your biggest problem is that your client gave it to you with what looks like a scan of a printout, and the ink/toner didn’t do a good job covering.
