How to creating a large sign with person's photo in illustrator? Please Help!

Firstly, I'm very new to illustrator. I always use photoshop for everything but the company my person is using is only asking for it in vector. I'm creating a 4x8 ft sign. It contains text, a logo, and a picture of the person that it's for (like a billboard). Speaking with the printing company that the person is using they wanted it in vector/ .eps format. His photo into a vector but I'm afraid when printed he'll look like a cartoon.  I've been searching all day and can only find videos of people tracing the photo into a vector. I tried copy and pasting his picture from photoshop however it won't paste it or won't save it. I'm totally lost, I really need help and I really would appreciate the insight. Is there a way that I can use his photo or do I have to make it a vector? Will it come out realistic as a vector?
Thanks in advance,
-Newbie

There is no way that I know of to turn a photo into vector without it looking at least a bit like a cartoon.
More importantly; how is this being used? if it is being cut (vinyl or dimensional) then using a photo makes no sense. If it is being printed, then the person you are creating this for needs to find another printing company -- one who knows what they are doing. Seriously.
In either case; you will probably get more and better help in the Illustrator forum HERE.
Good luck.

  • How to create an unsolved cube with awm???

    hi all,
    I readed the "Oracle Olap developer's guide to the Oalp api" and I found there's 2 type of Cube: Solved and Unsolved Cubes. And this document says: "... if all the data for a cube is specified by the DBA, then the cube is considered to be Solved. If some or all of the aggregate data must be calculated by Oracle OLap, then the cube is unsolved ..."
    I tried with awm 10.2.0.3.0A to create an unsolvedCube but I can't. All cubes I created are solvedCube. To know if a cube is solved or unsolved, I wrotte an program in Java to read informations of package mtm.
    Some one can tell me how to create an unsolved cube with AWM ou other soft please!

    SH is not a relational OLAP data model which is quite different from the GLOBAL schema which is based on an Analytic Workspace.
    If you change the aggregation method you will need to re-compute the whole cube which can be a very big job! You might be able to force the unsolved status be de-selecting all the levels on the Rules tab in AWM. However, I think by default analytic workspace OLAP models always provide a fully solved cube to the outside world. This is the nature of the multi-dimensional model.
    Relationally, as keys are located in separate columns a cube can be unsolved in that the key column only contains values for a single level from the corresponding dimension tables. If more than keys for different levels within the same dimension appear within the fact key column then the cube is deemed as being solved.
    Therefore, I am not sure you are going to get the information you require from the API. To changes the aggregation method you will have to switch off all pre-compute options and also disable the session cache to prevent previously calculated data being returned when you change the aggregation method.
    Hope this helps

  • How to create an explain plan with rowsource statistics for a complex query that include multiple table joins ?

    1. How to create an explain plan with rowsource statistics for a complex query that include multiple table joins ?
    When multiple tables are involved , and the actual number of rows returned is more than what the explain plan tells. How can I find out what change is needed  in the stat plan  ?
    2. Does rowsource statistics gives some kind of  understanding of Extended stats ?

    You can get Row Source Statistics only *after* the SQL has been executed.  An Explain Plan midway cannot give you row source statistics.
    To get row source statistics either set STATISTICS_LEVEL='ALL'  in the session that executes theSQL OR use the Hint "gather_plan_statistics"  in the SQL being executed.
    Then use dbms_xplan.display_cursor

  • How to create a Sales order with ref to Contract using Function Module

    How to create a Sales order with ref to Contract using Function Module BAPI_SALESDOCU_CREATEFROMDATA ?

    We have a unique situation where we like change the sold-to customer of the sales order
    once order has been created. These orders have been created using either by function module
    BAPI_SALESDOCUMENT_COPY or using BDC (VA01, Copy with reference).
    These two processes work abosolutely fine except someone might have change the sold-to
    customer of the ship-to customer of the original sales order. If this the case then the new
    sales order will be created with the old sold-to and with not the new sold-to.
    We tried using BAPI_SALESDOCUMENT_CHANGE and commit afterwards. We checked
    the returned parameteres of the BAPIs and they are all successful but sold-to remains the
    same old one.
    Any help would be much more appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi 
    In solar01 you have defined but you have to assign the test case in solar02 for this test case in the test cases tab.
    When you do so expand the business sceanario node in test plan generation of STWB_2 transaction and now that will appear.

  • How to create a csv file with NCS attributes?

    Hi
    i installed Cisco Prime NCS and trying to perform bulk update of device credentials with csv file.
    How to create a csv file with all required attributes?
    This is part of NCS online help talking about this topic:
    Bulk Update Devices—To update the device credentials in a bulk, select Bulk Update Devices from the Select a command drop-down list. The Bulk Update Devices page appears.You can choose a CSV file.
    Note        The CSV file contains a list of devices to be updated, one device per line. Each line is a comma separated list of device attributes. The first line describes the attributes included. The IP address attribute is mandatory.
    Bellow is test csv file i created but does not work:
    10.64.160.31,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60
    10.64.160.31,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60
    The error i am getting while importing this file:
    Missing mandatory field [ip_address] on header line:10.64.160.31,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60
    Assistance appreciated.

    It looks like the IP address field is incorrectly set.,
    It should be as follows
    {Device IP},{Device Subnet Mask}, etc etc
    so a practical example of the aboove could be (i dont know if this is completely correct after the IP address / Subnet Mask)
    10.64.160.31,255.255.255.0,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60

    Hi sunny,
    1. The OTHER FIELD
       has to be character field of say length 15.
    2. Write the original numeric value to
       this character field (in a loop)
    3. But simply writing won't help.
    4. use this kind of logic.
    5.
    REPORT abc.
    DATA : m TYPE i.
    DATA : chr(15) TYPE c.
    m = -100.
    WRITE m TO chr.
    IF m < 0.
      SHIFT chr RIGHT BY 1 PLACES.
      CONDENSE chr.
      CONCATENATE '-' chr INTO chr.
    ENDIF.
    WRITE chr.

    Hi,
    Please let us know your exact requirement. Whether you want it to be fixed like only one line item to be billed every time ot it to be based on selection you do every time.
    As per my understanding it should not be fixed and in that case it should like as follows,
    In VF01 you will select Del. document/S.O. number and click on selection list and will take you to next screen as mention below,
    and select desire line item to be billed and click on copy and will take you to billing screen.
