Need High Resolution Graphics (EPS, TIFF Etc..) Wed, 16 March 2005 05:09 Go to next message
Need access to some high resolution graphics of parts manufacturers etc.. (for purposes of cutting stickers and promotional flyers / catalogues etc..)

Has anyone got some? Would prefer EPS (Encapsulated Post Script) type images for use in Illustrator/Freehand, but will take TIFF's as well. 10mb and above sizes per file would be great.

I'll send someone a CD and postage money if they have these n can burn them for me..

Cheers

Have a look around on the websites of the manufacturers you're interested in and see if they have any PDF files to download; these may contain vector versions of their logos (you'll be able to tell because if you zoom in on the logo and it doesn't go pixel-y, it's a vector image). If so, download it and open it in Illustrator/Freehand, then delete everything but the logo and re-sav it as an EPS. Easy!

Finding PDF's with vector, not bitmapped, logos: not so easy!
Confused

Ummmm, always after graphics info. As I like to dabble.
What is Freehand and whats its main uses? Is it Adobe?
And whats the autotrace feature? How powerful/accurate is it?

freehandMX - see www.macromedi.com professional illustration/graphics package - we use it along with illustrator (see www.adobe.com)
can (within reason) outline or centreline trace bitmap images (from 1bit thru to 24bit)
i prefer it to illustraor as the interface is more intuitive, tools are richer and package is very powerful

http://www.macromedia.com

...missed out the a in macromedia there.

The success of using auto trace tools in Freehand or Illustrator depends very much on the quality of the bitmap image you're trying to trace (clarity of details and good contrast in image).
Tracing images grabbed off websites can be very difficult becasue they are usually small (in pixel dimensions) and compressed, so that detail is lost (especially so in the case of JPEGs).

By the way, I prefer Illustrator - depends what you first started using, I guess. I'd say Illustrator is more widely used in graphic design than Freehand, with CorelDraw (another vector illustration program) running a distant third.
