How to export my vector lines at different sizes

Hi. First post here. I have been using photoshop and illustrator at my university. I need some help exporting my graphics at known pixel dimensions. Illustrator seems to give the cleanest results, and the stroke antialiasing is much better than in photoshop, so I'm keen to do my final export from illustrator.
I have attached four images to show what I'm doing.
1 - depth map, this is rendered from a 3D terrain package. White = far, black = near
2. Find edges in depth map - the values in this image correspond to the depth discontinuities in number 1. High values = large depth edges
3. Import into illustrator - do a live trace, stroke, set threshold. Get some nice vectors
4. Convert to live paint, set stroke width. Antialiasing is great
OK. My questions are:
a) How do I export a jpg at a fixed size, in this case 640 by 360? I want my original depth maps to be much higher resolution so I get quality vectors, but I want to export the final image at 640 x 360. I haven't figured out how to resize the original to those dimensions
b) Are there different antialiasing styles to mess around with? When I zoomed in on a microsoft word screenshot I noticed the antialiasing was in colour around black text. I wonder if that could be useful to me
c) If you have any better techniques for vectorising and then rasterising for display these mountain lines, please let me know.
Thank you!!!

jt,
To get a 640 x 320 px JPEG, set the reolution (as Export option) to 640/W, where W is the Width in inches; or similarly for height.
I definitely do not know of this option though it would be good to have such a setting.
But what you have do if you are not using Save for Device and Web is to actually make a copy of the art turn off the visibility of the original art
then resize the copy to your desired dimension either width or height, in this case probably width.
Then make a new art board, holding the shift key down allows you to make one within the bounds of another artboard.
Then double click the artboard tool to enter the dimension of you desired jpeg
then reposition the art in the artboard you just made and then export to jpeg using the Use Artboard option and selecting that artboard.
So if you set the artboard to 640x360 pixels that is what you will get.
Save for Device and Web is easier there you can enter dimensions

    Hi,
    Create a two lines one for header and second for data in the table.
    1)In table painter we can find the pencil mark.
    2)select the pencil mark
    3)now select the line which you need to shade
    4) now select the shading colour in the table painter and the provide the resolution up to 100% and select table pattrn for that line.
    5) Now you can use this for the header now only the header gets shaded and the remaining gets unshaded.

  • How to export .MOV in desired video pixel size and in a centered format.

    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium SPK2 and Quick Time for Windows Pro Version 7.6.5 the latest release.
    I have a series of Quick Time .mov files which were shot at HD using a Canon Mark II EOS 5D camera. In total its about 28 GB of .mov files seperated into 78 different .mov clips. The movie inspector says they are .H264 format at 1920 x 1080 pixels
    When I look at the QTM Other Properties Visual Settings it tells me the .mov Transformation for Normal, Display and Scaled is 1920 X 1080 pixels. I have checked 'Preserve Aspect Ratio.
    I have figured out that I can drag all the individual clips into QTP thus making a single complete movie so to say. However, I have not been able to figure out how to convert this into a mpeg file (compressed ) that will display normally both on a PC when burned to DVD or to play on a standard DVD player or even play at the correct size on a PC.
    *Playback size not correct:*
    It also does not display at the requested size when the mpeg file is played natively on the PC wheter using Video Lan, Windows Movie Player, or just clicking on the file and letting IE open it. Their also seems to be a centering issue in which the movie is not centered in the playback window but rather is positioned in the upper left corner, theirby leaving white space to the right and bottom of the player. The original .mov file which I can view in QTP does not have this problem. In fact I have to use the Half Size option so as to view it entirely other wise its too large for my standard PC display.
    I want the completed movie to appear similarly to what one would get if they were to purchase a DVD movie at the store.
    I have gotten it to export in two different sizes reducing down to 256mb and 576mb respectively but both resulting mpeg files display smaller than I desire. The larger one is suppose to be displaying as 1280 x 720 pixels but does not appear to be doing so It appears more like 640 x 480 image. Also neither finished mpeg shows centered in the playback screen.
    My Export Options are set as:
    Movie to MPEG-4
    File Format: MP4
    Video Format: MPEG-4 Improved
    Image Size 1280X720 HD
    Preseve Aspect Ratio using Fit Within Size
    Frame Rate: 29.97
    Key Frame: Automatic
    Resync Markers
    Yes, I also tried one using the H264 option at the larger 1920 x 1080 HD format which should be the native QT format according to the movie inspector properties and likewise it does not correctly in size and in fact is blurry.
    How does one take a .mov file and convert it so that it can be
    centered correctly, burned onto a DVD and play like a commercial DVD does.
    I have also tried Womble.com MPEG Video Wizard DVD 5.0 which does make a DVD which will play on a PC with the same incorrect video display image settings. It will not play on a DVD player.
    Thanks for your assistance.

    SOLUTION
    I discovered that the begining graphics of my video which were set at 1280 x 720 pixels were causing the entire video to be reduced in size. I recreated the opening graphics at 1920 x 1080 pixels added in about 90 frames of each graphic ( 3 seconds each ) and the video now converts to mpeg4 at 1280 x720 pixels filling the video screen.
    Later on I will test it at the full 1920 HD conversion and report back what I find.

  • Export to Word, letter l different size

    I exported a pdf to Word and all the letter L s appear to be thicker but aren't shown as bold when selected. Bizarre! Pdf has unknown font which became Arial in Word.
    Also, how do you get the 'properties' in a pdf file to display fonts in the file?
    Thanks, Sara

    Thanks for your prompt reply!
    I am using Acrobat X Standard (v 10.1.13) on a PC with Windows 7.
    Not sure about saving the PDF. You mean do a Save As to create a second file?
    As for the fonts issue, I’ve done what you pointed out and got a blank box. I did not create this PDF and don’t know if it was created by Adobe or something else! Maybe that’s the problem?
    As for my initial problem, I think I found a ‘cure’. Select the funky font/word and click on Font(Ctr-D), go to Character spacing tab. The thick Ls were less than 100% scale and usually Condensed spacing! I went through the whole document, making tedious one-by-one changes. At least it was only the letter L that was affected, which I find truly weird!
    After I wrote you, I tried a different PDF export to Word and it looked like a bad OCR and was worse than the first one. I spent most of the evening working on it. I’d be happy to have you look at it. Do you want both the PDF and the Word file? I did Save the PDF but the second exported file looks identical to first.
    Thanks,
    Sara

  • Print Different Size Photo, one per page

    I am using PS5 in 64 bit mode.  I print on a Epson 3880 printer.  I shoot all photos in RAW.  I process all my RAW files in ACR accomplishing 80% of changes and the balance 20% in PS.  The output of my retouch is a Master Image (MI) File that I would like to print at different sizes.  I am starting to sell my images at Art Shops and Hops.  My customers would like to have different size images of my MI's  How do I print from the MI, different sizes images with a 150 - 300 ppi and maintain the integrity of the MI?
    I have tried the Image Tool but it will not let me print the image sizes that my customers want.  The Image Tool only allows me to change one dimension either (H) or (W) but not both.  Help.
    Jack

    If you want to print standard size images like 16x20, 8x10, 5x7, 4x6 etc these have different aspect ratios you will need to crop you image to the correct aspect ratio for the print you want or you could print different print sizes that have the same aspect ratio.  Like you camera most likely has a 3:2 aspect ratio if you use a DSLR. You could print all 3:2 aspect ratios image on you 3800. 3x2, 6x4, 9x6,12x8 15x10, 18x12, 21x14,  24x16... all that needs to be changed is the print DPI setting without resampling.    You have a 3800 that can print up to 17" wide.    You can print any size you want.  Some image cry out to be cropped.  They look best cropped for image composition is often best as some non standard aspect ratio.

  • Can you make ContactSheet working properly with the different size of photos?

    i have two photos of size 2000 px X 1500 px  and 2000 px X 1350 px ... i can not have the Contact Sheet to combine two photos accordingly, "2000 px X 1500 px" locate in the top of the page and "2000 px X 1350 px" follow the first photo...
    there is no issue in doing the first photo, but the second photo is always shrink with a smaller size (width is changed to less than 2000 px) photo...
    is this normal that it will not work accordingly with different size photos?...
    if not, how can i make it work with different size photos?...
    cheers,

    Different size layers containing various aspect ratio images would be hard to distribute onto a document canvas. Would be like piecing a jig saw puzzle together. Where image contend has no bearing on where its location should be. Like laying out a slate patio of random size slates. There is no correct solution you need a good layout where slate size fit well together where spacing between them are nearly the same. Then you need to rearrange the slates for a better visual composition. Constrained to a rectangle canvas no image left out no image trimming or resizing minimal white space.  A hard puzzle.. Canvas area and aspect ratio, image area and aspect ratios no one correct solution.

  • How can I match the line thicknesses in different sizes of the same font?

    I'm working on a graphic that includes a handwriting font, and I'd like some text to be larger than others. The obvious issue is that when I make the font larger, the lines also get thicker. Has anyone found a good solution for this problem, other than limiting the design options to large font families with lots of weights? I do employee communications design work for a call center, so purchasing a big font set for internal communications isn't an option.
    I've tried to "hide" some of the larger text's thickness by adding a white stroke to it, or by hiding the font edges with a mask, and I've also tried artificially "bolding" or adding a stroke to the smaller text. They all result in noticably distorted text, particularly around corners, and the results are particularly horrible when using something with texture, like a chalkboard font. I haven't had any better luck in Illustrator, either.
    I'm sure I'm not the only one out there who wants to simulate the look of one person writing in different sizes with the same writing utensil. Beyond writing it myself (my handwriting is ugly), can you think of any solutions I haven't tried?
    Thanks in advance!
    Paula

    Thanks, I'll try the Min/Max and see if that works any better. The final output in this case is pixel based, for use in PowerPoint and in email headers. I often do my text work in Illustrator, but in this case I was trying to simulate writing on a chalkboard, so I started in Photoshop so I could see how it looked against the background as I worked. I actually face this challenge fairly frequently, though.
    The team I design for is virtual, with over 700 people spread across the US and up into Canada. For that reason, I like to use the "hand drawn" look on occasion to bring some warmth and personal touch to the communications, to contrast with all the super-polished "high gloss" graphics they look at all day in their work tools. It's a real challenge to find text and artwork that matches well once scaled to fit my documents, especially since most of the vector-based artwork I find online has already been converted to outlines, so it doesn't retain the same stroke thickness when the images are scaled.
    If anyone out there knows of an illustrator who doesn't convert their sketch-style graphics or fonts/typography to outlines before putting it up for use, either on Shutterstock or on any free site (since those are the ones I can use) I'd love to hear about it!

  • To dewangs. How to load all descriptions (lines) into a Vector?

    Thank You dewangs!
    I am confident that Your second advice to use Vector will solve my problem. But I have two more questions.
    Let say I have used BufferedReader(new FileReader(c:/java/MyText.txt)) to read from MyText.txt file. In this case, how to load all descriptions (lines) of this file into a Vector? And how to associate each line of MyText.txt as an element of the Vector?
    I am trying to do something, but no results.
    try{
    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("c:/java/Applications/MyText.txt"));
    String str=reader.readLine();
    JList myList = new JList();
    StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(str,"\n");
    Vector vr = new Vector(25);
    while(st.hasMoreTokens()){
    String nextToken = st.nextToken();
    vr.addElement(nextToken);
    myList.setListData(vr);
    TA1.setText(TA1.getText()+
    (String)myList.getSelectedValue());
    }catch(IOException evt) {};

    My suggestion is to create a new class that has a String (for your line of text) and an Image or ImageIcon for your picture. Store the instances of this class in the vector, and then add the appropriate part of the items in the vector to your list. Then you can just get the item in the vector corresponding the to index of the selected item in the list, cast it to your new class, and grab the String or the image as needed.

  • How do I 1)use airbrush type tool in illustrator CS4 or 2) use PS4 airbrush tool on vector line art?

    That's basically my question in a nutty nut.  I am drawing illustrations in Illustrator,
    can't find an airbrush tool there, so I export to Photoshop to use that airbrush and the
    lines pixelate.  I want the clean, vector lines of Illustrator with the yummy fuzzy airbrush tool.  In short, can I go back and forth from Illustrator to Photoshop without the line art ping ponging between pixel and vector?

    See this PDF for one approach. The subject was really more about exploring ways to exploit Isolation Mode, but it does so in the context of a poor-man's "airbrush" effect.
    I want the clean, vector lines of Illustrator with the yummy fuzzy airbrush tool.
    In reality, then, you're not wanting vector artwork to look like vector artwork. Here's the thing:
    Vector artwork, is by its fundamental nature "hard edged." That's one of its advantages and one of its disadvantages. Soft-edged fuzzy effect (and its sister, texture) is one of the mainstays of raster imaging. It's one of the main reasons why there are two primary kinds of computer graphics.
    Historically, soft edges and graduations are primarily done with Blends and Graduated Fills. A Blend is really just a semi-automated stack of multiple paths with incrementally changing color. Grad fills are mathematically-defined variations of a path's fill color across the path. Generally speaking, grad fills are limited to a small set of geometric shapes. For most of Illustrator's history that was a very limited set: linear or radial. So when you needed to render tonal graduations in more elaborate shapes, you employed Blends.
    More recently, programs have acquired a newer construct, which is an elaboration of grad fills: Mesh Grads. Mesh Grads are also mathematically-derived and remain as such up to print time--that is, they are vector. They offer more control over the shape of the color transitions. But that control is quite tedious, and is not at all like painting with an airbrush.
    That's about the extent of it when it comes to maintaining "clean, vector edges". With skill and discernment, the results can look just as realistic as airbrush work, and it can be entirely vector. But the interface for doing it is not an emulation of painitng with an airbrush.
    Far more common than a purely vector tool in a vector drawing program that tries to act like an airbrush is the workaround of applying filters or effects to vector paths. Doing that is not purely vector: It's actually rasterization that is re-applied whenever you edit the paths. If you set such an effect as the current default, then you can draw paths with the Brush tool, the Pencil Tool, or really, any of the vector path tools, and that's about as close to emulating an airbrush in a vector program as you'll get. The PDF mentioned above employs that kind of approach. But you should understand, you're really creating raster images when you do that. It's just that, rather than the raster images being "nailed down", they are effectively deleted and re-created on-the-fly if you edit the paths to which the effect is applied.
    Illustrator isn't great at this. Other programs--Xara Xtreme in particular--do it much faster and responsively. But again, even though it retains the lossless editability advantage of vector art, the soft-edged effects are not really vector art. The are on-the-fly rasterizations of vector art.
    Look up Blends, Grads, and Mesh Grad in Illustrator's Help files.
