How do you create a glowing vector outline on an object?

Hi guys,
I need to put a green glowing outline around a shamrock shape, just like the one pictured below. I know how to do this in Photoshop but it needs to be vectorized for screen printing. I've tried using gradients and glowing edges in Illustrator but I just can't get the same result as below. What else an I try? Thanks for the help!

Note both Mike's suggestions are followed up by Live Trace. That's because there really is no such thing as a "glowing vector outline." You gain nothing by applying the glow effect in Illustrator rather than Photoshop. Either way, the result is raster, so you might as well do it in the application that gives you the more familiar and/or desirable effect.

  • How do you create a double coloured outline on a font? e.g The Lego Logo has black and yellow

    I am trying to make my sons birthday invitation and he is having a Lego themed party... how do I create the black and yellow outline on the font. I have downloaded the LegoThick font... but because its an outline font and not white, the outline is only black and if I change it to yellow the black obviously changed too...oh and I cant get the font filled in white.. HELP. LOL

    Obi-wan,
    A picture might be worth a thousand words, but to be useful this one requires an explanation of how you did it.
    This is very easy using multiple strokes in Illustrator, not so much in ID, but it can be done with a custom stroke style of type Stripe using half the width for the stroke and half for the gap. Fill the text with [Paper], then apply the stroke in Black with Yellow gap, or Yellow with Black gap (depending on which side of the stroke is gap). Is that what you did?

  • How do you create a looped 'conveyor belt' effect with objects on a motion path?

    I am trying to efficiently create the following looped
    effect: a bunch of shapes constantly following a motion guide (a
    closed circle). Basically the object could be a conveyor belt or
    something else.
    http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i302/Cablestein/dfg.jpg
    I want to avoid having to do it the old-fashioned way of
    multiplate layers and symbols. I do not want to see the triangles
    skip or jitter while moving along either.
    Is there an obvious way to do this with action script? Some
    way to simply start with a single symbol and motion guide, then
    applying some script (copy-paste).

    Thanks.
    A circle is easy enough, sure, but I would like to make all
    kinds of curves in that circle actually. Everyone knows about
    rotating a basic circle. This is beyond that. Imagine all kinds of
    turns, waves and spirals in that line.
    I have tried Illustrator, and there's potential solutions
    there... like the text-on-path tool (why doesn't Flash have that
    yet?) which works fantastic. Still a lot of manual work, and will
    be a ton of manually copied frames. I wanted something more
    efficient.

    To add to sig's reply, "calibrating" does not calibrate Lithiu-Ion batteries, it calibrates the charge reporting circuitry.  If you look at the effect of deep discharging Lithium-Ion batteries in the data from the independent test group, Battery University, you will see that doing so shortens the life of the battery significantly. It looks like an optimum balance between use and life is at a discharge level of 50%.

  • How do you delete a member in outline?

    Hi,
    I am sure this question has been asked many times in this forum but I can't seem to find the answer. Also, it seems to me that this forum does not retrieve threads that are older than 2 years.
    When I tried to delete a member in outline, I get the error message"Deletion of member "Working" failed as member is used in a data form"
    how do you delete a member in outline that is already used in a FORM?
    I guess I will have to do the following steps:
    +Find the object name in the Object table by doing a query – “Where object name = member”
    Write down Member ID of the oultine-member you want to delete
    Go to "HSP_UNIQUE_NAMES" table found in SQL.
    Delete the row.
    Do a refresh
    Then delete that member in the following tables:
    HSP_MEMBER
    HSP_MRU_MEMBERS(System 9 Only)
    HSP_OBJECT
    (no need to do anything in HSP_DIMENSION)
    Go to each form and change the old member name to new member name.
    Can anyone confirm the steps above?

    how do you delete a member in outline that is already used in a FORM?Hi,
    You have to remove the member from the form first and then delete the member, there is no point trying to hack the tables as they have constraints on them, so you can't delete a member before it is removed from a form.
    Cheers

  • HT4191 iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad?  If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.

    iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad?  If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.  I've seen reference to the  "My iPhone" local storage put no mention on how you create this folder or access this folder within the Notes app.  I realize storing information in a local storage like this provides no syncing between other iDevices but that is exactly what I'm looking for.  I'm running iOS7.0.4 on a iPhone 5S, and a iPad Air.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.

  • How do you create a new account for a family member?

    My daughter and I both have Ipods, and want to setup SEPARATE accounts. Itunes 7 worked great, but now when we 'upgraded' to 8, it MERGED all our files. So I thought I had a separate account, but it turns out when I load a new song, it goes into HER Itunes files. She deleted all my info, and I REALLY want a separate account (that sticks).
    My songs are still in my directory under "Mikes Itunes", but when I reloaded them into what I thought was a fresh entry, it turns out it went into my daughter's Itunes file too! What is up with Itunes 8? and how can you create a TRUE separate account so I have control over MY songs!?

    First, let's make it easier to swap between accounts. In the Accounts pane of System Preferences click on the Login Options (after unlocking the pane). Enable fast user switching. This will put a new menu in the top right of the screen. You can then swap to the other account without having to log out of the current one.
    Log into the original account. Select the folder you want access from the other account and choose Get Info from the file menu. There is a section called Sharing & Permissions. You will need to click on the padlock to make changes. Click on the + to add permissions for the other user account by selecting the user account from list that appears. Set the permission for that account to read only. Once you have it listed then choose the "Apply to enclosed items" from the gear menu below the list. This should give you access from the other account to that folder and any folders contained in it.
    For iTunes you will want to do this to the Music folder, giving you access to the files below. From within iTunes you can select Add to Library from the file menu, and then select the music from the other account to that account's iTunes library. Once you have set up the new library whoever's library is the original can clean up the library to remove any music they don't want (now that it's in the new account).

  • How do you create an AcrobatXI zip file in windows 8.1?

    How do you create an AcrobatXI zip file in windows 8.1? from acrobat.com docs?  Sorry Not sure what community to ask this in this community?  The email provider I was using didn''t seem to want to accept it through Adobe Send the first time and since Adobe Send ends January 6, I am assuming a zip file is preferable..  I thought I had seen an Adobe Zip file somewhere but haven't been able to locate it. Any help appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Sherrie

    Hi Sherrie L,
    Adobe Send is Adobe's current solution for sending large files. (It's Adobe SendNow that's retiring soon.) Can you tell us what trouble you were running into using Adobe Send?
    There isn't a special version of Zip files for Acrobat, but you could reduce the PDF file size if you have Acrobat. Or, in Windows, you can create a Zip file by choosing File > Send to > Compressed (Zipped) Folder.
    Best,
    Sara

    You can make a PDF file out of you notes and handouts but using the Adobe PDF printer.
    Open your PowerPoint Document then go to “File” “Print”
    Select ‘Adobe PDF” Printer
    Under slides, select which way you want to print. Note it will not print to a printer but to a PDF file.
    After then go into printer Properties and Setup PDF properties, do the following: (see second image below)
    Default: PDF/A 1-b
    Adobe Security: none (change as needed)
    Adobe Output folder: Prompt for Adobe file name
    Adobe Page size: Letter (change as needed)
    Check the following check boxes
    View Adobe PDf Results,
    Add Document Information,
    Rely on system fonts only,
    Delete Log files for successful jobs.
    Select OK
    A pop will ask you where you want to save the document. The file extension should be PDF. After giving the file name select okay and the file should popup as a PDF. Down side is if you want to speaker notes included then you will have to do another file, like wise with just screen shots then combine into one PDF document.
    I used Acrobat IX Pro. So to do this you need Acrobat IX or X Pro.
    Hope this will help.
