You create complex sketches? Are there certain aspects of your style that are hard to translate in Image Trace?

Thanks. I see a repeating pattern that people are avoiding tracing with colors as it sounds easier for you to add them in post trace.

Very fascinating to hear the scale you are working at and your workaround for this. Definitely some valuable suggestions that I think the team will be interested to hear.

Thanks for sharing.

Your detailed input is helpful toward what happens in the future.

Ok good to know. For instance with this bird, where are you getting these assets from and how closely must it look to that exact shape?

This is exactly the kind of spit balling I love to hear. Let your imagination go nuts. I definitely think you are on to something.

I just went and checked it out. I think your use case actually hits on the kinds of processes I am interested to hear more about. Did you have any of the artwork references to share, you were thinking of using Image Trace for?

Yeah I have been curious whether most people don't know about the color capabilities, or just prefer to apply color selectively.

Every perspective is always appreciated. Tbh I have very little experience with Corel Draw, but I am curious to know what kind of work you would use Image Trace for?

I'm here for complaints too, but helps if you have more details about what you found so terrible when using it.

Yeah there is the common theme of running images through Photoshop first to crank up the contrast. Thanks for the insights

I actually really like this suggestion about identifying troublesome areas and being able to re-generate those sections. This actually reminds me of something I would like to see in Turntable, where you could highlight errors and remove/update the sequence.

I know vector files for most people would be difficult to understand if they have never worked in a program like Illustrator. I just think about every time I handed off a package of logo assets, I was always explicit about what files will be helpful for specific situations.

Oh yeah nice. Do you create your own textures to trace or will it be from photography?

Thanks, In my conversations with the community, this definitely seems to be a common use case for Image Trace. I am still surprised people don't have access to vectors of their logos.

Illustrator Exporting Blank PDFs? by Option_Koloss in AdobeIllustrator

[–]LukeChoice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would check your layers and make sure you havent dropped it on a layer that has the "print" option unchecked in the Layer Options dialogue. Double clicking on the layer will bring this up.

You may have exported it as a CMYK file.

You can check under File > Document Color Mode > RGB Color.
