RE: FLASH: Vectorizing

[Arsis]

Richard -


We have done all sorts of processes in PhotoShop to reduce noise and

anitaliasing in order to reduce the final numer of points and lines. It has

helped greatly but the issue at hand is one of accuracy and not file size

etc.


Thanx for the advice.

Just wondering (coming in on this one late) ...


What processing are you doing to the image *before* you try to vectorize it?


If you take it into Photoshop (or whatever) and posterise it down to

as few colours as you can, as well as removing any noise and possibly

sharpening it a bit, that should make the resulting vector image a

whole lot better.


You have to expect some cleanup no matter how you process it though ...




kind regards,

Richard McLean
