Vector images

[Nova_Tek]

Help!

I'm trying to create copies of the vinyl decals on the early Cav SRi (boot spoiler, and doors but can't find them anywhere on the net).

Spoke to a signwriter and they said that the images I design need to be vector images for best quality and to be able to enlarge them without loss of quality.

Is there anyway to change .jpeg images into Vector images like a converter? Or is there a format I can save them into from photoshop to be able to convert into Vector?

Need this done asap as the Cav is going in for bodywork and paint so they will need to be replaced once painted.

Good help will mean big rep :thumb:

No, im afraid you can't do that, it's not as easy as that. You'll have to try and find some in vector based file formats like .png or .ai. Or you could get someone to reproduce them in Photoshop etc into a vector graphic. Its because of the way the graphic is created. Bitmaps are created using pixels whereas vectors are created using methematical equations hence being able to scale them as big as you want without losing quality.:thumb:

If you have decent pics of the logo and the exact sizes you want it I can produce a vector based file for you

I took the pics decals directly off the car @ 8MP. I'm just tidiying them up etc. I know the size of the decals as I measured them (again off the car).

Shame there aren't any on eBay lol

yeah them pics would be perfect. Send them over and I can do that no bother

Illustrator is your best bet for converting to a vector format.

Here's a wiki about vector art to gen up a little ;) >LINK (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_graphics)<

Is it this that your wanting btw?

Yep them decals on the lower panel are the ones but in place of the GSi it's SRi.

Found the Vaux Cav on eBay but the SRi boot and door decals seem to be non-existant.

Think I've sorted it now. I downloaded Inkscape, which is open source and free, which imports JPEG files and traces them into a Vector format.
