Converting an image to FrameMaker native vector drawing

Is there a third-party utility that will covert an EPS graphic file to a FrameMaker native vector graphic? I would like to include a logo that appears on every page in my template but want to restrict the size of the empty template.

Any such utility would be very, very, very lossy in the sense that FrameMaker's internal image model is exceptionally restricted compared to EPS which supports the entire PostScript imaging model including text (with font defintions), vector drawing, raster images, gradients, etc.
Why not place the EPS into the template? It might actually be smaller than whatever it would (if it could) be converted to!

How do I convert color image to color vector?

Hi,
Im fairly new/not very well versed in Illustrator, I was wondering if you guys could help me with instructions or tips how to convert old alphabet art to color and actualy converting color images like drawings to vector . Ive tried image trace but it turns the image black and white and with really rough strokes.
Thank you!

Is this art in the Public Domain? Or, do you have the copyright owner's permission to use it in your work? If the answer to both of these questions is no, then you should not be using it.
That being said, I got good results with image trace (using the High Fidelity Photo preset) even on the low-res image you attached here. You just have to adjust the preferences after you do the trace.

In my illustrator i am not able to find live Trace option. how to enable live trace option.
can anyone help me to convert this,because i am new to Adobe Illustrator.
Thanks in Advance.

If you do want to use the image trace option here is how you do it:
If you have nothing selected your contextual menu should look something like this:
If you have your image selected your contextual menu will look like this.
You can use the image trace from that button. to find it through the menu go here:

File>Open to open your eps file
File>Export to export your image as a jpg.
In the export dialog box just below where you type in the filename is a file type, that is where you choose jpg.
What ever you do, do not delete the eps file. Should you ever need to access the original you will have have.
I recommend that instead of jpg you choose psd, tiff, or png and use jpg only for sharing. Jpg is a lossy format meaning each time you edit the file and save it, the quality of that file degrades. The formats I recommend are lossless formats, you can edit them all you want no data is being discarded unless you choose to do so.

Convert original image to sharp Line art?

Dear All,
I have a image i want to convert orginal image to sharp lineart how can i do photoshop CS3 please help me.
one reference image is attached

As others have said I dont think you will be able to convert the image you have posted to look like the result you want from the other image you posted, the detail in the original is just to high. I use the method described below for doing my line art in Photoshop and it works well but you seem to want to reduce your image to a much simplier representation. I have used this site before, it used to be free but now I think you only get a couple of free credits when you join, convert a photo to line drawing, quite simple to use and you can select to remove noise which might reduce the complexity of the original image.
In Photoshop try:
Duplicate original layer
Change top layer color mode to color dodge
Invert top layer
Apply Gaussian blur (choose low pixel radius for less detail so reducing image complexity)
Add adjustment layer and set saturation to be -100
Retouch anywhere with brush tool to complete

Problems converting PNG image to SVG with autotrace

Hi,
I am trying to convert a large number of color PNG images of hieroglyphs (produced after much effort) to SVG format, using "autotrace -background-color ffffff -output-format svg".
It seems that where there are closed paths with background color inside, autotrace produces an SVG image with the background area in black instead of transparency. (You can see the images at http://5b4az.chronos.org.uk/pkg/hieroglyph/A001.png and http://5b4az.chronos.org.uk/pkg/hieroglyph/A001.svg although the svg image is not rendered by Firefox). You may also download the tarballs with all the hieroglyphs of the Gardiner set if you are interested.
After all the effort that went into these images, I am stuck with being unable to convert raster images to vector graphics. I did try autotrace before I put in all this effort, but I didn't notice the problem because apparently I tried it on images with no enclosed background color.....
Any suggestions wellcome greatefully!

I know this is an old thread, but I did some new testing on some line art and want to post my results.
I started with a PNG, and converted it to PBM and PGM. I got much better quality doing this conversion with GIMP, as opposed to pngtopnm.
I traced both formats with autotrace and potrace, which I output to SVG.
Autotrace accepts PNG, so I did the trace with the original as well.
I got the highest quality with PGM and potrace. It also was the smallest file size.
a close second was PBM with potrace, slightly larger.
third was autotrace and the PBM, larger still.
Using the PGM with autotrace was unacceptable, and the file size was HUGE!
So if black/white is OK: Convert PNG to PGM with GIMP, then potrace
both the best quality, and smallest size SVG. This is assuming you started with anti-aliased black/white line-art, i guess the full greyscale PGM avoids the aliasing of PBM.
It seems autotrace is the way to go, if your forced to deal with multiple colors.
I suspect you will need to do many passes and really tweak those command options,
The PNG directly to autotrace was a complete disaster, but i suspect it would improve given enough time to configure command arguments.
However, even with those perfect options I would believe potrace yields a cleaner trace.

How to Convert Bitmap Images into WPF XAML files

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15082716/can-we-convert-an-image-to-xaml-using-expression-blend
this is not a trivial task [and maybe beyond the scope of this forum]. If you had some vector image like svg images there might be a control out to use, but with raster images, I dont know of any control or code to use; I *think*, you will have to vectorize
the image content yourself, which isn't that easy...
So, is Background and Foreground easily distinguishable? Do shapes overlap? ...
If there are only some shapes in the image and BG and FG can be separated easily then you could "scan" the image by some chaincode like operation to get the contours/contour vectors and then decide what to do. If there are patterns in BG or FG
things will become more difficult, you then will have to perform more math-to-image operations and a vector-representation while reading/scanning the image might not be enough (keywords are computer vision, pattern recognition [with multi-linear-forms] etc).
Maybe an existing computer vision [-able] component loke opencv can help a lot...

I havent read it so far, so I cannot say, if its what you need, but title and a quick view into looks promising/interesting.

Convert colour images to grayscale images & get pixel data from them

Is the code below correct to convert colour images to grayscale images in Java?
public void convertToGrayscale (String sourceName,String destName) throws Exception {
JPEGImageDecoder decoder=JPEGCodec.createJPEGDecoder(new FileInputStream(sourceName));
JPEGImageEncoder encoder=JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(new FileOutputStream(destName));
BufferedImage sourceImg=decoder.decodeAsBufferedImage();
BufferedImageOp op =new ColorConvertOp(
ColorSpace.getInstance(ColorSpace.CS_GRAY),null);
BufferedImage destImg = op.filter(sourceImg,null);
encoder.encode(destImg);
decoder = null;
encoder = null;
When I get grayscale images from the code below, I would like to access the pixels of those images. So I tried to do:
byte[] dd=((DataBufferByte)mImage.getRaster().getDataBuffer()).getData();
BUT the data result array is not 0-255. Could anyone suggest how to obtain pixel data from grayscale images?
In case that my code shown is not correct or suitable, please give your advice. What I would like to do are in the steps as follows:
1 change 100*70 jpeg-images to 100*70 grayscale images.
2 create two dimensional array of pixel data (example [100][70]) from converted images. The number in the array should be between 0-255, right??? And 0 refers to black colour and 255 refers to white colour???
I am confused about grayscale images. Please help.
Thank you so much

I am not sure i understand what is the problem exactly.
Structure of DataBuffer is described by SampleModel used by same Raster
object. E.g. it might be 1 byte per xipex or 4 bytes per pixel.
In your example convertToGrayscale saves images to file as JPEG and
it seems you later read it back. It is possible what image you read back
is not greyscale but ARGB and data buffer has different format.
Technically, if you just need level of grey you may simply
call getRGB on your output image. Grey is uniform mix of R, G and B.
Also, instead of ColorConverOp you may dimply create output image of
grayscale type and draw your color input image with drawImage().
If none of these helps please try to provide more details.

CS6 : How to convert a path stroke in a vector shape ?

Hello,
When you use the Photoshop CS6 new function stroke on the path of a vector shape, how can you convert the result in a vector shape ?
Merging multiple vector shapes doesn't work. The strokes outlines are not vectorized in the new vector shape.
It's possible to convert in pixel and keep the stroke drawing, but no way to convert in vector.
Illustrator has a similar function in order to vectorize the stroke.
Thanks for your help

Yes, I misunderstood.
Photoshop has no command to directly create a new vector path from the outline of a stroke.
You could try making Path from Selection. With the Shape on a white background, click on the pink with the Magic Wand Tool with options as shown below:

Unable to convert an image (.bmp) to PDF

I have a written servlet that uses Adobe LiveCycle API to convert files to PDF. This works. I have a problem with one image (.BMP) for which the PDF conversion fails. I then tried converting the image to PDF using Adobe Acrobat. I see the following error:
I am able to open the image file without any issues. Why does Acrobat think the file is corrupt? Is there a way to find out if an image is OK for PDF conversion, either manually or programmatically? Attaching the image file for reference.

How can I convert an image created in Photoshop into a format that Java's ImageIO library will take?

Hi all,
I've been trying to write an image resize tool to use the Lancoz resample algorithm to resize images to a high standard in Java. The library with the algorithm/filter in it is mortennobel's image scaling library and it takes a buffered image as an input and returns the resized image as desired. However the trouble I’m having is that the ImageIO library in Java, a standard library, which converts images given to its read method to buffered images doesn't accept certain images created in Photoshop and so it throws an exception. My library needs to be fully automated to process possible thousands of images at a time and so manually converting them by resaving them as JPEG's is really feasibly. Is there some way I can convert these images from Adobes Exif format to standard JFIF format? I've tried simple inserting the APP0 marker from a JFIF image in-between the SOI and APP1 marker but the ImageIO library still failed.
The above image is a screenshot of the binary in hex of one of the images that cause an Invalid Format exception when passed to ImageIO.
Any help you could offer me with this would be much appreciated.
Kind regards and thank you,
Alexei Blue
Science Warehouse.
NB: I previously posted this post in Developers but was told to post it in a Photoshop forum so apologies if this is the incorrect formum

The image scaling library does have a BiCubicFilter in it so I'll experiment around with them and see what happens. As for the imageIO library I think it accepts Exif image types, but still for some reason it just doesn't like Adobe Photoshop types. Maybe its the colour map it doesn't like I just can't seem to work out what's wrong which is slightly frustrating but looking round to see if I can find an answer
