Do you remember old vector art conversion program, train logo?

In the early 2000s I used a raster art to vector art conversaion tool.  I THOUGHT it was by Adobe, but I find no trace of it!  It had a locomotive as its logo, and I think it was named "steam" or something similar.  Required an activation key, wonderful little piece of software.  Want to find it again because I back then could quickly convert simple line drawings to vector lines without having to use much system power (unlike, say, opening up Illustrator.)
Anyone recall this thing?

I know that opening Photoshop might sound as powerful as Illustrator, but here is how to do basic vectorization technique in Photoshop I co-developped: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/370971?tstart=0

  • Do you remember the name of this program?

    On my old iBook, i remember I conducted an interview for school using a program pre-installed on my computer, but I can't remember the name of this program, and I'd like to use it again. I can't find the program in my iMac. Is this an older program that doesn't come on the OS anymore? Please help!

    I use Amadeus, it's very good, and half the price of "Sound Studio".

  • Is all adobe illustrator art work in vector art or do you have to convert them to vector?

    I created a logo through Adobe illustrator and thought it would automatically be in Vector Art. When I sent the logo to a sign company they said it was pixelated, not Vector. Is it because I converted it into a pdf file before I sent it? And is there some way to get it into Vector Art so I can put it on a sign and it not be blurry?

    It is a very basic logo where I used the polygon tool and filled it in red. I then put the Avant Garde decorative border around the shape and filled it in with a darker red. Then I put two letters in the center using the type tool in the font "French Script MT" and turned them white. All of this I made from a new folder under the "print" profile. I saved it as Adobe pdf. and Adobe svg. Unfortunatly, I don't know what step I can take to make all of this vector art. If you know how to help, thanks!

  • Flash poor performance with vector art (.svg)

    When using multiple pieces of vector art I've noticed that performance gets rather sloppy, so I created a simple test program that displays 100 copies of the same graphic and allows zooming. I used what I believe to be a fairly simple vector image (can see links below). However, fps drops massively when zooming in or out. I know zooming requires a lot of calculations, but I have an above average system (i5 2500k processor) that I would expect to handle such demands. Is there something I'm missing? or is vector art just not viable for my game (I would need lots of similar artwork on the screen at one time)
    Picture of image - http://i.imgur.com/Cj50O.png
    SVG file - http://pastebin.com/MjBLebFQ
    Test Code: http://pastebin.com/Xmquy9Py

    Oh wow, cache as bitmap seems to make quite a noticable improvement in performance. I didn't know that option was possible.
    I will look into bitmaps, but I tried before and noticed the quality was poor when zooming. Lots of jagged edges. I tried using bitmapSmoothing but then my images were noticably blurry afterwards.

  • Vector art and compatibility

    Do you mean like Adobe Illustrator, Cenon, Inkscape, etc.

  • How to save a  vector art(for example, a circle) in a plugins?

    I want to write a plugin, and in it user can draw
    vector art, how to save this vector art in vector format ?

    If they need a vector object. Photoshop is not really the right program. Illustrator would be a better choice.
    In Photoshop the only formats that support vector are psd, pdf, and ai.
    Psd and pdf would create vector objects that would be more beneficial to someone using Photoshop.
    The ai format is the only true vector format that others can use. However it only exports paths and therefore can only be found in the paths panel. The issue is Photoshop does not apply a stroke or a fill to that path. If someone is not aware of that, they would think the document is blank.
    This file would have to be opened in illustrator and give the path a fill or stroke then save it.
    The reason pdf does not work as expected is the format supports both raster and vector objects. The creator of the file has to be very careful to use vector objects only. If you load the file into illustrator there is the possibility that it will not open. When illustrator saves a pdf it can embed an ai file into the pdf so it can open it. Photoshop can embed a psd file into a pdf but not an ai file. Illustrator requires the embedded ai in order to open the file.
    This is a long drawn out way to say Photoshop is not the right program, but it helps to understand why.

  • Converting CS3 to Vector art

    Hi Folks
    I'm new at working with Photoshop CS3 but need some advise in creating Vector art that can be imported into CorelDRAW and manipulated.
    I am importing part schematics (part diagrams) for a motor utilizing my scanner. Once imported I am erasing the background to make them transparent and saving them. This has been working fine but does not allow me to position the artwork at my discretion.
    I need to be able to create the work, make them transparent and save them as vector art so I can import them into CorelDRAW and be able to move parts around.
    Can anyone give me some advise
    Thanks for you help

    Photoshop is not a vector art program, it creates rasterized images.  Illustrator is the appropriate tool for vector art work.

  • Vector Art & Fonts Don't Look Crisp After Final Render

    I'm using AE CS3.
    I've imported a few Illustrator files that contain vector art & regular text into my After Effects project.
    It's basically a NTSC 720 x 480 project (0.9).
    My composition looks very crisp and great when I preview it at full resolution.
    However, after I render my composition to NTSC DV 720 x 480 AVI - the vector art and text doesn't look as crisp anymore.
    I'm wondering if there is a setting I should check on before rendering (I rendered it at the best quality). Perhaps I should render to an uncompressed AVI file?

    >Perhaps I should render to an uncompressed AVI file?
    Well, you better... DV AVI is evil. Unless you really cannot avoid DV, always render to some uncompressed or only mildly compressed format. Premiere and otehr editing suites handle the conversion to DV/HDV way better than you ever could hope to achieve in AE. Also make sure you adjusted your levels correctly. A lot of DV "blurriness" is simply caused by illegal colors which crap out the transcoder.

    Dear Saso,
    I think, instead using Report: VA05/ VA05N; its better to use Report: VL10C
    In this report, you will get all the Sales Orders along with Materials - relevant for open delivery, along with Open Qty. and various other options can be selected from "Change Layout - (Ctrlt+F8)".
    Best Regards,

    Note: Don't maintain any Field-Entry (while executing the Report: VL10N; in order to list all Sales Orders. But, if you want to list Sales Orders based upon some criterias, maintain the Field-entries, as reqd.

  • I am unable to update my album art since I commenced using match (and after upgrading to Yosemite).  How can I 'unembed' old cover art and replace?

    I am unable to update my album art on my iMac since I started using Match (and after upgrading to Yosemite 10.10.3).  A message advises that it's not possible to removed old artwork if it's embedded.  How can I 'unembed' old cover art and replace?

    Normally artwork recovered with iTunes is stored as a separate artwork file and iTunes refers to that file to display artwork when you click on a track.  However, if you then copy the file to another player the artwork file is left behind and the track will not display the artwork on the other player.  To get around this it is possible to embed the artwork in the music file itself so it always travels with the file.  Artwork can be embedded by you or files from third party sources may arrive with embedded artwork.  iTunes apparently now won't replace artwork for such files.  You can accomplish this by completely deleting artwork for a file or set of files in Get Info, then getting iTunes to fetch artwork which will then be set as a reference file rather than being embedded.
    I use an old iTunes so unless you are using an ancient iTunes it won't help for me to give you great details.  To erase artwork I simply get info on a series of files and check the box next to the artwork box without adding any artwork and close.  To do it for  single file I Get Info, go to the artwork display tab and click delete.  Here's a Windows reference for a newer iTunes (but the "old Get Info" reference is for early iTunes 12 and no longer works with newer):I cannot delete embedded album artwork in iTunes 12

  • Exporting to PDF - How Can I Get A Small File Size When Using Lots of Vector Art?

    I am trying to create a small PDF file for e-book distribution purposes. My Indesign pages contain a variety of photographs, vector icons and vector maps.
    A publisher in Britain who does similar books on a Mac using Creative Suite was able to create a 22-page document very similar to mine (similar icons, graphics, density, etc) that is only 2.84 mb, a small fraction of the file size that I'm getting! I've included a sample page of his below, which is a low-res jpeg, but on the original PDF all of the text and images (except the jpeg cliff background) are super sharp - they look like vectors when you zoom in. I've also included screenshots of his PDF export settings.
    I don't know if he's exporting directly out of Indesign, but my best guess is that he is.
    My vector-based icons, numbers and maps are bloating my PDFs considerably. When I remove them, the Indesign and exported PDF file sizes drop dramatically. For the life of me, I can't figure out how he got such small PDF files sizes using so much vector art! The PDF graphic compression settings don't seem to include any options for vector art.
    My vector art graphics (numbering, icons, maps) are all saved as Illustrator AI files and then placed in Indesign as linked graphics. My best guess as to why I can't achieve smaller PDF files is I'm either doing something wrong with the vector graphics themselves or handling/exporting them improperly out of Indesign.
    I am using CS4 for PC and am on a Dell Machine running Windows 7.

  • Using a Vector Art File as a matte for an image collage

    II have a vector art file of a paw print.  I would like to use it with a variety of photos to create a collage.  I have the image files selected and the vector art file sized, but what I can't figure out is how to have the images seen ONLY inside each toe/pad of the paw print.  Once the file is completed, I would like to be able to flow text around the paw prints so I don't want the entire art board area to be white as this would effect my text wrap properties. Any and all suggestions are welcome!

    I developed a Photo Collage Toolkit for Photoshop.  I feel its very easy to create PSD templates that can be populated with images.
    Photo Collage Toolkit
    Photoshop scripting is powerful and I believe this package demonstrates this video showing a 5 image collage PSD template being populates with images:
    The package includes four simple rules to follow when making Photo Collage Template PSD files so they will be compatible with my Photoshop scripts.
    Size the photo collage templates for the print size you want - width, height and print DPI resolution.
    Photo collage templates must have a Photoshop background layer. The contents of this layer can be anything.
    Photo collage templates must have alpha channels named "Image 1", "Image 2", ... "Image n".
    Photo collage templates layers above the background layers must provide transparent areas to let the images that will be placed below them show through.
    There are twelve scripts in this package they provide the following functions:
    TestCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to test a Photo Collage Template while you are making it with Photoshop.
    CollageTemplateBuilder.jsx - Can build Templates compatible with this toolkit's scripts.
    LayerToAlphaChan.jsx - Used to convert a Prototype Image Layer stack into a template document.
    InteractivePopulateCollage.jsx - Used to interactively populate Any Photo Collage template. Offers most user control inserting pictures and text.
    ReplaceCollageImage.jsx - use to replace a populated collage image Smart Object layer with an other image correctly resized and positioned.
    ChangeTextSize.jsx - This script can be used to change Image stamps text size when the size used by the populating did not work well.
    PopulateCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to Automatically populate a Photo Collage template and leave the populated copy open in Photoshop.
    BatchOneImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Collage templates that only have one image inserted. The Collage or Image may be stamped with text.
    BatchMultiImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with images in a source image folder. Easier to use than the interactive script. Saved collages can be tweaked.
    BatchPicturePackage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with an image in a source image folder
    PasteImageRoll.jsx - Paste Images into a document to be print on roll paper.
    PCTpreferences.jsx - Edit This File to Customize Collage Populating scripts default setting and add your own Layer styles.
