In order for me to use Live Trace on an image, what do I need to do first before I can apply color to the artwork?

Obect>Expand?
View>Outline?
Edit>Edit Colors
or
Select>All

jnmcaleer,
Object>Image Trace>Expand is the key to work with the trace artwork.

  • I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection Design Across Media Upgrade for Windows at a business closing.  What do I need to find out before I can use it?

    I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection Design Across Media Upgrade for Windows at a business closing.  What do I need to find out before I can use it?

    I couldn't tell you what you purchased, and it might even be difficult for an Adobe employee to do so.  The business could have a few options as far as what they might have purchased.
    Your best bet, considering what little you paid, will be to hand it over to someone you might sell it to and let them try it out.  If it works, then it works.

    Check if any of the below have an older version by contacting the author for your 10.4.11:

    http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/fugu
    http://cyberduck.io/

    Or use Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal to do command line FTP:

    Upgrading to 10.6.8 should still give you mostly the same compatibility as 10.4.11. Upgrading to 10.7 and above won't.

  • Problems with black fills in live trace(d) eps images in Word and certain printers

    Hi folks, PLEASE help me with this if you know a possible solution. I regularly run Live Trace in Illustrator CS3 on my grayscale bmp or tiff scanned images, save them as an eps, then folks in other departments insert them into Microsoft Word pages. Sometimes these images display in Word with unintended black fills, and some printers print them out with the same corrupted appearance, yet some other printers print them fine (even if the display in Word shows them with the unintended black fills). I THINK this might be a postscript issue (?). I don't have the option of telling everyone to change from Word to InDesign (which would absolutely solve the problem immediately). Is there something I can set while performing Live Trace? They really need the eps files, so I don't have the option of saving them as another format. HELP! Thanks...

    I use Mac at home and love it. At work, we use PC platform. I can't save as a pdf because they need to stay vector graphics. he departments want us to save the eps in version 8 because they're STILL using Windows 2003 (ugh). I keep thinking there must be something I can do while in Live Trace because we've never noticed any inintended black fills in graphics not created using Live Trace. Somehow, Word and some printers are not interpreting some postscript language correctly. InDesign has zero issues with it. Some printers have no problem with it, so I assume they are postscript printers. There's got to be a way I can still save as an eps but without the postscript conflict (IF that's what it is).

  • I have an error message reading "Iphone needs to cool down before you can use it". ?

    I can only use the phone for maybe 4 minutes before this message appears with a yellow warning triangle. (Iphone 4S)
    "Iphone needs to cool down before you can use it"
    The phone is not warm and after a couple of minutes it is useable again only to repeat the same message a few minutes later.
    I've done a restore which made no difference.
    Anyone have any ideas/similar problem?
    Cheers

  • The built-in dictionary on my iPad only works with certain sites.  What do I need to do so that I can it all the time. (For example, it does not work when I read e-newspaper.)

    What do I need to do so that I can use the built-in dictionary all the time? My iPad 2's dictionary functions on Japanese e-newspapers but not on the Arizona Republic or other e-newspapers.

    Are you talking about the English dictionary?  Mine seems to work ok on the AZ republic web page.  Does yours not work on all webpages?  Does it not work when you type an English word in Notes and then do select and define?

  • When I go to download my iMovie to iTunes I get the following message "Unable to prepare project for publishing.  That project could not be prepared for publishing because a error occurred"(disk full).  What do I need to do?

    When I go to share my Imovie to Itunes after a couple of hours I get the following message.  "Unable to prepare project for publishing.  That project could not be prepared for publishing because a error occurred(disk full)".  What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    This is the forum for iOS (iPhones and iPads),
    I have refered it to get moved to the correct forum.
    But my guess is that you have to clear space on your harddrive.
    The video gets rendered when you out put it, so you will need lots of space to do so.

  • What is the next software update for my Mac OS X v10.5.8? What do i need to to do?

    What is the next software update for my Mac OS X v10.5.8? What do i need to to do?

    10.5.8 is the last free update available for your system. If you wish to upgrade to newer versions of Mac OS X, you will first need to purchase and install a copy of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard is back on the online Apple Store, at least in some countries. In the US:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    If it's not listed on the web site of the Apple Store in your country, call the online Apple Store, they may still have copies of Snow Leopard available.
    Once you have upgraded to Snow Leopard, you then will have the option to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion, if you wish to do so and your system will support it.
    Regards.

  • How do I Vectorize a logo without using live trace.

    Hey!
    So I am making a logo and I am trying to vectorize it. But, when I use the Live Trace, it messes up the lines, and makes it look like it was painted. So is there another way to vectorize my logo without the Live Trace?

    This is the forum for API discussion, it sounds like you're looking for general Illustrator help. If that's the case, you'd be better off posting here:

    If you're talking about trying to vectorize it through the API, that's a whole other ballpark, but I don't think many people have much experience with the Live Trace API

  • Creating closed paths after using Live Trace.

    Hi, I am rather new in this, so forgive me if my question doesn't make any sense at all;
    When I trace raster images, Adobe Illustrator (CS3) gives me lots of anchor points along the outlines of the image. That's great for use with Live Paint & Live Color.
    Is there also a way to automaticly create closed paths/objects from this?
    Some kind of tool that seperates one color from another by closing those same paths.
    Basicly in a way where I can select one of the many colors within my traced picture, such as the green of a leaf, and have an actual closed path going around that same leaf. ..And then the sky would be a seperated object, and the pink flowers, and the yellow inside the flowers, and so on.
    Thanks, Linda

    If I understand your question correctly, you could probably accomplish it this way:
    1. Ungroup the trace.
    2. Select the "leaf" shape. If it consists of many shades of green, you'll have to use the Direct Selection tool, or perhaps the Lasso, or the Group Selection tool.
    3. Copy. This will stay in your clipboard, so don't copy anything else until
    4. Pathfinder>Add on the selected leaf shapes. Hold down Option to expand while adding.
    5. Now you have a solid shape that you can add a stroke to. If you make the stoke wide, or align it to the outside, it'll show around the leaf
    6. Paste in Front (Cmd-F). This will paste the original leaf shapes you copied, right on top of the solid shape you just made.

  • HELP! Unknown error [R2Wd] when using Live trace....

    Using CS3
    Photo: black and white line drawing... tried re-saving this in as many formats as possible then placing into Illustrator to live trace... Tiff, PSD, EPS, JPG, Bit Map, etc etc... tried Black and white, cmyk, rgb... so far... nothing.... but the same error code...
    the image is 600dpi and about 24" big... I need as much detail as I can get so reducing file size isn't really an option...
    help?!

    There has been very heavy traffic on the store due to the release of iTunes plus. The error should go away once traffic dies down.
