Illustrator Vector Graphics - TREES

Hi - Does anyone know where to get some trees for illustrator in PLAN view??

I think I found some by searching the USGS (United States Geological Survey) sites.
I know I found some
somewhere
but I forget where. It's been years.
Will these help (look through the PDF index):

But these are more probably what you're after:

  • Trees in Plan View for Illustrator - Vector Graphics

    Does anyone have any idea as to where get good trees drawn for Illustrator in Plan View?

    Brooke...
    You're in the wrong area of the forum to be asking your question.
    This area is specifically for suggesting new features for the Illustrator application itself.
    Head up one level to the Main Illustrator forum and start a new thread with your question.
    Thanks.

  • Illustrator vector graphics rasterizing horribly in InDesign .swf exports?

    I'm a teacher who's been using InDesign CS5 to make interactive .swf files for my students. The functionality is pretty simple: using simple buttons, I allow the user to hide or show various page elements. These page elements are themselves buttons, of course; more specifically, they are text and line drawings made in Illustrator and placed in InDesign.
    My problem is that whenever I export to .swf, the placed .ai files (i.e. the buttons that appear and disappear) look absolutely awful--blurry, rasterized, and much worse than the surrounding page elements. (Text smaller than 8pts is often impossible to read.) I've tried adjusting every parameter that InDesign shows upon export, and nothing seems to fix it. It's probably also worth mentioning that I don't know anything at all about Flash. So this could be either a Flash issue or an InDesign one.
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Have a look at this thread here, report back if you don't understand what Petteri means by copy and paste from Illustrator. (It literally is just that!)

  • Jagged vector graphics from Illustrator in Indesign

    Using CS3, Leopard, have all updates.
    I'm having problems with vector graphics created in Illustrator getting jagged when dragged from Illustrator to Indesign (or copied and pasted or placed as Illustrator file). They look jagged (stair stepped) in InDesign, also in Acrobat after exporting a pdf, and after printing. The vector image in question is a rectangle with rounded corners with an "Envelope Distort - make with warp" applied to it. Is the problem that I'm trying to drag an envelope distorted graphic into InDesign? Are there settings to make this work?

    "They look jagged (stair stepped) in InDesign, also in Acrobat after exporting a pdf, and after printing."
    Doesn't sound like a screen preview issue to me.
    If a placed AI file has jagged edges on print and in PDF, but looks good in Illy, then something is amiss. Your transparency settings could be set to rasterize the line art. Make sure you're using one of the canned flattener presets (high, med, low) if there is any transparency in your page (little checkered icon by the page icon in the page palette).

  • Bringing vector graphics from illustrator photoshop final cut express.

    I'm having a heck of a time getting my logo from illustrator to photoshop to final cut express. It is squishing it. It looks jagged in photoshop. I am cutting and pasting from an eps file to a photoshop doc that is for film and video. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
    Thanks to anyone who has answers.

    If you have a problem with working with Photoshop you probably want to go to the Adobe forums.
    If you're placing the vector graphic in a Photoshop file make it whatever size you need it to be. You're video image is the square pixel equivalent of 720x540. If you need the logo to fill the frame from edge to edge then make it that size. If you need it smaller, make the PSD smaller.

  • FAQ: Why are my vector graphics (e.g., from Illustrator) jagged or soft?

    (For a video version of this frequently asked question and answer, click this link.)
    After Effects must convert imported vector graphics to bitmap (raster) graphics. By default, this conversion (called "rasterization") happens once for a layer, and it happens before transformations, like scaling. This means that scaling such a layer up is really scaling a bitmap image, and that can expose jagged pixelation.
    You can tell After Effects to rasterize after transformations like scaling, and to do so once per frame, to ensure that each frame is as crisp as possible. Just click the Continuously Rasterize switch for the layer.
    This is only an issue for imported vector graphics (from Illustrator, SWF, EPS, and PDF files). Vector graphics created in After Effects, like text and shape layers, are always continuously rasterized.
    For more information, see"Continuously rasterize a layer containing vector graphics".

    I'm going to answer my own question and then ask another.... Why?
    When I open just one PDF document it look great. but when i open two, the second
    document always has this fuzziness to the edges. Doesnt matter which documents I open
    This is a close up of two documents opened and the windows placed over each other. As hopefully you can see
    in this screen capture, the one on the right has a furry edge and looks quite rough. Its the document opened second.
    Any ideas?

  • Opening FWCS6 vector graphics in Adobe Illustrator

    Hi,
    I have 2 questions regarding vector graphics created in FW CS6. I have created some logos as vector graphics using the pen tool in FW CS6. The files are in png format.
    1.- Can I open them in Illustrator cc 2014 and save them as svg format?
    2.- Does Illustrator use the same technology as FW CS6 in order to create vector graphics? I mean .. Is it the same to use the pen tool in FWC6 as it is in Illustrator? I am not familiar with Illustrator.
    Thanks for your answer.

    When dealing with ai files, I will often import them as smart objects in
    Photoshop (embedded or linked if you have the latest version of PS CC) and use the roundtripping with Photoshop available in Captivate.
    That way I keep link with original AI-file, let CP convert the layer to PNG on importing.

  • After Effects is warping my imported vector graphics from Illustrator

    I was given an Illustrator vector to import into After Effects. But whenever I import the graphic into a composition it quite literally squishes the image and changes the colours of the graphic slightly.
    I have a feeling that it is not after effects that is creating the problem, but with the illustrator file itself.
    Does anyone know any options in Illustrator that would alter the file to cause this problem? Or why it is behaving like this?
    I also asked the same question in an After Effects forum to see if it is a different problem.
    Thanks for your time.

    See the multiple replies you already got in the AE forum and pleasae stick there. No need to scatter posts and confuse everyone.

  • Reduce file size vector graphics

    When it comes to imported vector graphics are there any methods to decrease the swf's file size as much as possible?
    So far I have:
    - imported an illustrator ai file (strokes 'expanded' in illustrator and unneeded swatches/brushes etc. deleted and with no raster images embedded)
    - exported the file in illustrator as swf and imported that swf into flash
    - imported ai file and breaking it down to flash shapes
    - optimized those shapes as much as possible
    I rather use vector as much as possible. For a banner for examle, I've imported vector images of trees. I couldn't get it below 40 kb so I exported all illustrator files to png files which helped. Can detailed vector images be optimized just as much? Or is it better to use bitmap files when it comes to more detailed graphics? Does it matter if it is a vector images made in flash or a imported vector file even if both have the same number of paths?
    Any other ideas I might try besides the things I've already tried?

    There is a certain threshold when a bitmap can actually be smaller than a detailed vector graphic. Especially when working on small image sizes, bitmaps can often be quite smaller.
    For a vector graphic, you can't do more than reducing the number of vertexes which may result in a poorer graphic.
    With bitmaps, you can do a lot more:
    Keep in mind that bitmaps with an alpha channel use up much more memory than bitmaps without alpha information. So try to reach your goal without using transparent bitmaps - which seems hard in the beginning, but as Flash provides different blending modes, you can, for example use the blending mode "multiply" for a black logo on a white background with just a grayscale bitmap instead of a bitmap with alpha channel information.
    The same is valid for a white logo on a black background: Use the "add" blending mode instead, then.
    I have also written some Photoshop Plugins to reduce the alpha-channel bit-resolution which sometimes gives me the extra 3-4kb I needed. Instead of using 256 shades of alpha, it reduces them to maybe 8 or 16. Alpha-Channels are comressed like GIF/PNG images inside of flash, so having as few different shades of alpha as possible will make images smaller. I even use dithering sometimes for softer alpha areas.
    In some rare cases, you can also gain some bytes if you convert text to vector graphics (pressing CTRL-B twice), but this only works when there's not much text at all. That's because the metric information for text glyphs take up a bit more space then just the shapes. So you can imagine that this may only work if there is just one text element with all different letters. So you won't get much size reduction by converting "abracadabra". But you will get some reduction if you convert "the quick brown fox jumps" into shapes.
    This all can help if you have restrictions like 30kb or even 20kb to create a full animated flash banner.

  • Vector graphics with Photoshop Elements 13

    How can I maintain the vector graphics that are saved for Illustrator (AI or EPS) in Photoshop Element 13.   There are a lot of free typography graphics for Illustrator that I would love to use in Photoshop Elements 13

  • How to copy and paste vector graphics

    I have a program that draws curves and I would like to copy and paste them as a path into Adobe Photoshop.
    I am using the Clipboard class (Clipboard clipboard = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard()), but I
    do not know what string I should use for the StringSelection argument in the setContents method. I tried the
    string that describes my curves in PostScript.
    But that didn't even work for pasting into Adobe Illustrator, although Illustrator is capable of opening
    a PostScript file. (However Photoshop only opens a PostScript file as a bitmap, not as a path.)
    With Illustrator, instead of pasting the curves, it just pasted the PostScript text.
    Please help.
    Thanks.

    For me, freehep is the fifth hit when googling "java vector graphics library". But of course I don't get to "[Access hidden information|http://www.copernic.com/en/products/agent/index.html]" without paying up :).
    For a simpler way: since you already say you can save to postscript, make a temporary ps file and export it in a file list (keywords "java drag and drop files"). Perhaps Illustrator then opens the file and the user can copy/paste it there. Otherwise you have to figure out what Illustrator expects on the clipboard and put it there in the same format.
    Another option might be to use some com wrapper to talk to Illustrator directly (but probably need a commercial com wrapper for that).

  • Replacing bitmap text with vector graphic text

    In a layout for an ebook I have some important black and white bitmap illustrations in tiff., 300 dpi. These have appeared ok on print, but on screen, reading the same pdf-file, they´re unacceptable, especially some texts in fontsize 5-6 pt are unclear. People tell me I have to convert the drawings, or at least the texts, to vector graphics.
    Question: Can I open these tiff.s in Photoshop, change only the texts to vector graphics and then save in a format, that can be inserted in the Word2010 layout? (You might wonder why I use Word, but it was a question of economy, when the project was started up). Or are there other ways? Thanks for any answers!

    You are right, there are no layers, some geometric shapes with texts in and around. It´s possible to mark or lassoe the bits of text, since spaces were made in the figures for the texts. And then delete them, and then insert new ones. That will be in another layer, I guess, but from that point I don´t know what to do :-)

  • Using a vector graphic for a button

    Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and Encore CS5, everything is patched, Windows 7 64-bit
    I have been reading various posts, and either not seeing or not understanding something about using a vector graphic as a button on a menu.
    I drew a one-color shape in Illustrator, saved it as EPS and PNG and used it in a menu designed in Photoshop. When I preview it in Encore or burn a DVD, the graphic looks awful. And I'd like to use highlighting with it so it changes color when selected but that is another problem....
    To start the menu, I used the Photoshop preset NTSC DV Widescreen which has a pixel aspect ratio of 1.21. Then I added background graphics and so on. Each button is contained in a layer group named (+)PlayAll, etc. In each layer group is a text layer that doesn't have a prefix (e.g., Play All) and another layer with the vector or PNG named (=1)kv, which is the name of the EPS or PNG file.
    The behavior is fine. The graphic moves to indicate which menu item is selected, the text is constant, never changes.
    In Photoshop, the graphic looks fine but when I preview it in Encore it looks crappy and pixelated. What do I do?

    Part of the problem is I have no idea what some of these terms mean ... "2-bit indexed", ... The first one might mean an object that has one color,
    It is not the same as one color, and yes, it probably means more than any of us intend.  See  Encore help regarding button subpictures, in particular the part regarding using Photoshop to create button subpictures.
    The latter includes "(Technically, the subpicture overlay is a two‑bit indexed image.)," but you don't need to understand the technical meaning (they don't explain it anyway).  You do need to understand the liimitations they explain there,  For example, under "solid colors only," they say "Elements on these layers must use solid colors and sharp edges. Use one solid color per layer. Do not use gradients, feathering, or anti-aliasing on the subpicture layers. Color gradations are not possible in subpictures."
    "sub-picture highlight" ... the second one is probably made up.
    Heh, heh.  Searching that in Encore help (which I often find lacking) finds the page on Button Subpictures.  I agree that some of the terms, whether they are from the DVD specs or Sonic's applications (on which Encore is based), can make it difficult to look things up.
    "vector layer".... I searched Photoshop help for "vector layer" and got nothing. There is such a thing as a vector mask on a layer but I have no clue what a vector layer is.
    You're correct - vector mask.  Within a button group, the vector mask will be part of a layer, so I think of it as the button group "vector mask" layer.  That's part of why I pointed to using a library menu and editing in photoshop so you could compare what you have to what a template looks like.
    Please suggest which Encore library menu I can try. I opened a couple and couldn't figure out how they worked.
    In the General set, pick the Sunset menu.  Edit in Photoshop.  Expand the "(+) play movie" layer.  The "button vector mask" (the dark area) is in the layer called "button."  Notice that it does not have a (=1) or other indicator that it is a highlight.  In other words, it will just sit there, in whatever color is defined, and will not be a highlight.  If you put it in a layer that has one of the highlight indicators (the =1, =2 etc), it will then be subject to the subpicture highlight limitations.
    You might try your graphic in such a non-subpicture layer, and compare its appearance to putting it in a subpicture layer.
    Jeff Bellune's book (he's a moderator here) is still very applicable.  While some things have change, the basics haven't.
    But, hey, Jeff.  Why haven't you updated your book yet?  Inquiring minds want to know!

  • Reuse embedded vector graphics

    I wan to reuse embedded vector graphics from FM documents in MS Office and OpenOffice.
    I found the Linux tool mif2xfig which works only for MIF 4.0.
    http://www2.cs.unibw.de/alumni/Ansgar/mif2xfig/
    FrameMaker > Print to PDF > Import PDF in OpenOffice Draw -> Save selection as EPS
    is my current procedure.
    Any ideas?

    What vector graphics formats do those apps support?
    There have been at least 2 FrameScript or plug-in tools for exporting FM graphics discussed here over the years, but the only one for which I found a link, the link was stale.
    For small numbers of such embeds, I normally open the PDF page in Illustrator, and delete all the page content except the image elements of interest. Save as EPS, PDF or SVG, depending on target app support for vector imports.
    Acrobat Pro has the ability to export all images in a PDF, but as of 9.0, only to raster format. We have XI, but I haven't checked to see if that feature's been enhanced.

  • Vector graphic export?

    How can I move vector graphics from Keynote to other applications (like Adobe Illustrator) using the new version?  I had no problem in Keynote 5.  I really like using Keynote to make images and if I can't figure it out I will have to switch over to Illustrator full time...

    You answer seems inappropriate to me, and I hope to many others.
    Then your using the wrong software.  If your need is to create vector drawings then if you have Keynote version 5.3 use that, it is compatible with OS 10.6 Snow Leopard through to OS 10.10 Yosemite, alternatively use a dedicated vector drawing application, there are many to choose from, two are mentioned in this discussion.
    It is so frustrating to see that the V6, that uses natively vectors shape, cannot export them by a simple cut and paste.
    Keynote does not have this feature, use an appropriate application that meets your needs.
    removing this feature is a true handicap for Keynote.
    The purpose of Keynote version 6 is to;  "create and deliver beautiful presentations", so states the Apple Keynote webpage.
    Keynote is not disadvantaged in the least when creating presentations by the lack of exporting vector drawings.
    Why would profesional designers use or promote Keynote if this software is no longer able to properly interact with other design tools?
    Probably because it does in fact work very well with respected professional tools, it can import media from Photoshop, Illustrator, Word, Numbers, Excel, Indesign,  Final Cut Pro, Garageband, Protools ..............
    Apple has lost its common sense.
    People have been saying that since 1976.
