Bitmap images to Vectored images

Is there a way really one can use to convert bitmap images into vectored images?
I ask this question in response to a problem that I have. I take photos using a camera of resolution 72 pixels per inch and then process them in a program I have written in Java. I then print cards as the output of the system processing. The picture quality I then produce is a worry. The images are blurred and they rather look like zoomed bitmap images. Its not very disgusting but its something the clients are complaining about.
I have tried editing the images in different photo editors but it still remains a question. I have tried to change the resolution of the images but still the problem persists. This the led me to thinking that the reasons could be:
1. the printer I am using is printing at a different resolution with the resolution of the camera.
2. the images are bitmaps and so since I am changing the height and width (propotionally though), that could be leading to distortion of the images slightly. Hence I am looking for a bitmap to vector image convetor.
Suggestions with regards to where I could be going wrong are very much welcome.
Thanx in advance

How to convert PNG image to Vertor Image to make font on Mac

Hi Mac People,
I like to create a set of font, and I have made them in a image editing tool, I have FontForge downloaded but decide to use it to convert instead direct design them inside.
So now I don't know how to convert the PNG image to vector image required by the FontForge, I read some post mentioned Ubuntu has utilities to convert, but I'm not sure OS X has that function too.
Could anyone let me know how to convert PNG so I can create my fonts?
If PNG can't, the software can export TIFF or jpeg or similar.
Please help me, I need make them this few day.
Thanks everyone for giving me a hand!

No vector images in web-app for iPhone !?

Hello
I am developping a web-app for the iPhone
as the bandwith is low (in edge mode) I want to use vector images instead of bitmaps (gif, png ...)
- but flash (.swf) is not supported
- SVG is not supported, only Canvas is supported
- but no "Canvas editor" is available (I don’t want to draw icones using hundreds of javascript lines ! )
- and no "SVG,SWF -> Canvas" convertor is available
Am I wrong ?
Is there any solution ?
Is 1.1.3 now solving the problem (SVG now supported ?)
thank you for your help
Michel

additional remark:
I made some tests, a vectorized icon could be 30 times smaller (and therefore faster to load) than its ".png" version !
15ko in edge mode = about 1 second to wait ...

How to remove antialiasing of vector images?

Hello. Currently, I am editing bitmap images that are not antialiased, and I made lots of vector shape layers.
And what I want to do is remove antialiasing of all vector layers because if they are antialiased, they can not fit into forementioned non-antialiased bitmap images.
I found an option to display aliasing vector images, I mean "Layer image quality" option in time line panel, and I set it "draft", but if I render my sequence, AE won't allow me to render the draft, aliasing vector image. They are antialiased. AE ignores the draft setting and renders vector layers as best quality, antialiased image.
So I want to ask how to remove antialiasing of vector image completely.
Please help me. Thank you.

I found the option.Thank you.
And I want to ask one more question.
I guess If I set render settings as Draft quality, AE renders all layers including "Best Quality" layers as Draft quality.If so,there is a problem.
If I want to render "A" bitmap layer(this layer has effects like Fast blur, Hue/Saturation) as Best quality and "B" vector layer(No effect) as Draft quality, and If I render A and B layers as Draft quality, it means I can't render "A" layer as Best quality? If so, it will be a problem. I read a manual and it says some effects won't work correctly on Draft quality layers. Is it alright to render them all as Draft quality?

Vector image in Photoshop?

Hi Guys
I trying to wrap a text around a circle in this Q1 logo here:
http://www.ollepersson.com/Q1SurfersParadise/index.html
The major problem is that the “bitmap” type image
distorts and become unreadable. I’ve tried vector images both
in Flash and Illustrator, but there I can’t find a text
wrapping function.
I’ve also transferred illustrator images to Photoshop,
but they convert automatically to bitmap.
So:
How can I create and work with vector images in Photoshop?
Or:
Where in the CS3 programs can I work with text manipulations
in a vector format?
Second issue:
It seems like Photoshop only wraps the text 180 degrees? If I
have a longer text the ends of the string will be straight down
from the 180-degree point?
THANKS GUYS!!!

As Snake says, Illustrator is an option. Just draw a circle
around your
logo, click on the 'text to path' tool click on the
circumference line
of the circle and start typing. To rotate the type to the
correct
position select the 'empty arrow' tool, click on the center
of the
circle, chosse the 'rotate' tool in the tool box and spin the
circle
around until its in the desired location.
Having said that....the text around that logo looks a bit too
small to
be read anyway as a gif or jpg file. You need to consider if
it really
adds anything or just looks a mess. Below a certain size gifs
and jpg
text becomes practically unreadable.

Vector Images from iStockphoto

Just wondering if I should be able to open and edit vector
images from iStockphoto in Fireworks?
Like this one :
example
vector image
Or do I need Photoshop?
Cheers.

Those should come from iStock in the EPS format. From the
Fireworks help file:
Fireworks opens most EPS files, such as Photoshop EPS files,
as flattened bitmap images, in which all objects are combined on a
single layer. Some EPS files exported from Illustrator, however,
retain their vector information.
When you open or import most EPS files, the EPS File Options
dialog box opens.
Image Size
determines the image dimensions and the units in which the
image is rendered. You can select from pixels, percent, inches, and
centimeters.
Resolution
indicates the pixels per unit for the resolution.
Constrain Proportions
opens the file in the same proportions as the original.
Anti-aliased
smoothes jagged edges in the opened EPS file.
When you open or import Illustrator EPS files that contain
vector information, the Vector File Options dialog box opens. This
is the same dialog box that appears when you open or import
FreeHand files.

Well, you had a Gradient Mesh in Illustrator.
This gives trouble to Fireworks, as it can't render it properly. The trick is to first convert the Gradient Mesh in Illustrator to some sort of a bitmap (yes, I know, vectors are lost, but...) then re-save file and open in Fireworks and you're done!
I think I converted the Gradient Mesh obect to a Clipping Mask but I suppose you can convert to something else. The point is to not have a gradient mesh, but a bitmap object...
Hope this helps!

FW CS3 problem with Vector Images PLEASE HELP

Hello,
My name is Logan and I work for a company called Sutherland
Design Agency. I am creating a website and i created some vector
images in illustrator for the logo because i wanted source files to
be imported into fireworks. When I imported the ai file it seemed
to be rasterized. Is this normal?
I would like my images to stay as vectors in fireworks so i
decided to test this a couple times. When i create a vector i save
it and import it into fireworks. It's a raster. Then i export it as
an illustrator file and when i open it, it's a vector again. So i
know that it is a vector, but why won't it show up in fireworks
CS3.
I also noticed the drop-down bar with the different image
types. Is fireworks auto-optimizing? If so, is there a way to turn
this off? I want to do my own optimization and I want to view the
fireworks document the way it is.
Much help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Logan

FW CS3 should import your AI file without downsaving it to AI
8. Keep in
mind though, FW always displays vectors as they would appear
when
exported as bitmaps (browsers don't understand vector files
without a
helper application). If you are zooming in (not scaling) on
the canvas,
the artwork will start to look pixelated, because the stroke
and fills
are being displayed as bitmaps. Scaling the image should have
no
detrimental effect on the vector.

How do I create a cut-path ONLY on the outer edge of my vector image?

Okay, I have a dilemma. This could be one of those things that is so simple when explained, but at this moment in time it has me scratching my head.
Here I have a vector image. The pink stroke is a cut path that the software I use at work recognises and cuts. (Used for vinyl decals/stickers etc). All the lines highlighted in pink is useless to me, as it would cut out each individual line.
All I need is the outer edge of the entire graphic.
Note my crudely drawn red lines that border the image, that is exactly what I need. As you can see, the paths run through the image. BUT...When I try to erase the paths using add anchor point then cut path at selected anchor points so I can remove that particular segment, the colour essentially "leaks" as it isn't a closed area anymore. Rasterizing the image destroys the quality and I would like to be able to perform this task without loss of quality.
If anybody could help, I'd be eternally grateful!
Thanks,
Ben

Ben,
As far as I can see there are three sets of pink strokes, and I guess you wish to use the outermost one and have it form one continuous path round everything and in the hole between the letters.
Presuming you have the other strokes under control, you may be able to copy everything to the top of the stacking order and then, with all the copies selected, Pathfinder>Unite to get that compound path with pink stroke and no fill, which you may then split into one path for the outside and one path for the hole if needed.

How to find out the vector images in pdf file?

Anyone please!

How do I save a JPEG that includes text as a Vector image in photoshop?

I have a design that includes some text. I need it to be saved as a vector image , photoshop pdf to send off to print. They keep telling me there is an embedded jpeg in the file. how do I fix this?
note: Im using photoshop CC, I do not have access to illustrator, indesign etc...

A pdf can contain both vector and raster data. Any images in your design would be raster. The settings for the pdf determine how to handle the raster data. One way it can compress the images is to store the images as jpg.
If the service is expecting a vector file, then there can not be any raster data in that file.
The only true way to make sure the entire file is vector is to use illustrator.
Just an fyi, even if you import an illustrator file into Photoshop, that data will be raster, because Photoshop rasterizes the data when importing it.

How to I make my animated vector images better quality when exporting to a SWF file?

I created an interactive PDF and SWF file. My animation only works on the SWF file, but the vector image is low res. On the PDF it doesn't animate (which I know,) but it's high res. However, the SWF file animated, but looks low res. Thoughts?

Changing text to an image should never be considered since there is no content for the SEO spiders and the images will slow your page download time to a crawl.
This page shows web safe fonts and also how you need to use hosted fonts if you want something different...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Fonts-Colors.html
The above method uses an HTML snippet and, since this is fairly cumbersome, is only suitable for adding features like special headings. It does allow you to add text shadow using CSS rather than all these wasteful PNG images.
To use hosted fonts on a whole site you would need to add CSS styles in the head of the HTML doc for every page of your site. But its not low tech and, if you could do this, you wouldn't be using iWeb!

Enlarged bounding box around imported vector images (InDesign/Illustrator CC 2014)

Hi all, I've searched the forum for an answer but can't seem to find one. Hopefully someone can help.
Ever since my upgrade to CC2014, whenever I import a vector image from Illustrator into InDesign, the image comes in with an expanded bounding box. Unlike in the old days (i.e., the moment before I upgraded), when the bounding box would exactly enclose my image with no extra white space on any of the sides.
Sometimes the bounding box is small and sometimes it's gigantic. I cannot determine any rhyme or reason why it varies. Sometimes it's wider on the sides than on the top/bottom. Other times it's gigantic on one side but not the others. Basically, it's all over the place with no consistency that I can determine.
I find it incredibly visually distracting to have these weird-sized bounding boxes around my art, and it sucks to have to constantly resize them on every imported image.
I promise there are no guides, stray points, etc. in the Illustrator files. There is absolutely nothing "invisible yet there" that would create these expanded bounding boxes.
Two samples are below.
Note on this first one that the bounding box is wider at the right than the left.
On this second sample, note that the bounding box is gigantic in general, but especially at the top, and it's smaller on the sides/bottom. Huh?
Any ideas? I desperately want this to stop. Just want a bounding box that exactly encloses my artwork after I import it.
Thank you for your ideas or suggestions,
Laurie

Hi Bob, thanks very much for this info. I figured there was a checkbox hidden somewhere...
I tried all of the cropping options and although it seems like this would be a fix, it's unfortunately not fully resolving the issue.
The option that gets me closest is "crop to art." However, as you can see from the sample below, there's still a pretty large gap at the bottom, as well as a small one at the left side. (The top and right actually are cropped to the art, as requested.)
Do you have any other suggestions of things I can try? Or does anyone else have any ideas?
Thanks again,
Laurie
