Raster image into vector circles

Is there a way of converting a raster image into circle vectors of various sizes so that it is similar with effect of pixelation.
I need to transfer the circles into autocad so i need it in vector format. Thanks.

In my illustrator i am not able to find live Trace option. how to enable live trace option.
can anyone help me to convert this,because i am new to Adobe Illustrator.
Thanks in Advance.

If you do want to use the image trace option here is how you do it:
If you have nothing selected your contextual menu should look something like this:
If you have your image selected your contextual menu will look like this.
You can use the image trace from that button. to find it through the menu go here:

Photoshp CS2 - why can't I just cut an image into a circle?

Hi,
I could do this with some lousy Microsoft pictureit my kids had years ago - and yet I cannot do it with photoshop.
Have followed several tutorials saying draw the circle - invert, yadda yadda and I just keep getting errors. Only thing I can cut is a rectangle - in my world we call that cropping.
Please advise - super frustrated by a simple task!
Any help would be appreciated.

OK! Now, see, your answers make a WORLD of difference.
Since you didn't specify I'm going to assume that your versions of Illustrator and InDesign are contemporary to your version of Photoshop.
That being the case, then both of those applications are perfectly happy working with native .psd files. You can place them in either application and they will "understand" and respect the transparency attributes of the Photoshop file you place in those apps.
Now then, rather than deleting any selections you may make, you will be afforded far more flexibility and editability by turning your selections into a mask. A mask will hide whatever it covers, and make it appear as though the masked part of that layer is transparent, revealing whatever might be on any layers beneath the masked layer. You may have a mask on each layer.
Remember that the default indicator for transparency the whole way through to the "bottom" of a file is Photoshop's gray & white checkerboard pattern. If you see that, you're seeing transparency.
For complete transparency, then, you will want to promote your default Background into an actual, floating layer. You do this by double clicking on its name in the Layers Palette.
Also remember that the default Background color is white, and for many projects it won't need to be promoted to a layer. Why? Well, think about it for a minute: White is the abscence of color when printing; so long as there's nothing composited benath or around your masked object, nothing will print where there that Background white color is displayed, and the medium (let's say, for example, that it's a colored or preprinted sheet of paper) will show through.
Of course, like most things with Photoshop, there are lots of things to learn about the process of masking. And for that, I've gathered together a bunch of links to instructional sources at the thread link below. What you need sounds pretty simple, so for now, you can just scan the links in the thread and read up on basic masking procedures.
Once you've done a little homework and experimentation, feel free to return to this thread and asked more focused, specific questions.

Can't convert raster image to vector and save with a transparent ground.

I'm pretty sure I know all the right steps as far as Live Trace and Expand go, but it seems I can't detach the image from the white workspace background. I tried selecting the white in my image and deleting it, but Illustrator isn't even allowing me to select. I feel like something very simple and fundamental is wrong, I just can't figure out what it is.

Thanks, didn't see that option before. Tried it, but I still have the problem of the file including all of the workspace and being much larger than the original file. There has to be some trick to detaching the black from the background we're missing.

Error rendering raster image in OracleAS MapViewer Version: Ver1033p5_B0810

We have installed Oracle 10g and are in the process of testing it. I've loaded a raster image into MapBuilder and created a table, theme, and base map. The theme and base map display fine in MapBuilder 10.1.3.3 patch 5, but when I try to display it in MapViewer I get the error show in ftp://ftp.mdt.mt.gov/download/raster_error.png.
I've created a datasource to the 10g database, and a map tile layer for the raster base map. MapTileLayer1.png and
MapTileLayer2.png on the ftp site identified above show basic settings and coordinate system definition for the tile layer.
Can anyone suggest why this error is occurring and what I can do to correct the problem. Thanks.

I have solved this problem. When I created the theme in MapBuilder I set the srid to 262148, but in MapViewer I set it to 41079. Once I fixed this the raster image display fine :(

Raster image in Illustrator

I am currently using Illustrator CS4 on Windowd XP.
I am reasonably new to Illustrator having been a Corel user for the last 10 years, so I apologise if this is a simple request.
I have imported a raster image into illustrator and I would like to know the properties of it (ie dpi)
Is there a way of doing this in Illustrator (ie properties box that exists in Corel)
Thanks

Bitmap images to Vectored images

Is there a way really one can use to convert bitmap images into vectored images?
I ask this question in response to a problem that I have. I take photos using a camera of resolution 72 pixels per inch and then process them in a program I have written in Java. I then print cards as the output of the system processing. The picture quality I then produce is a worry. The images are blurred and they rather look like zoomed bitmap images. Its not very disgusting but its something the clients are complaining about.
I have tried editing the images in different photo editors but it still remains a question. I have tried to change the resolution of the images but still the problem persists. This the led me to thinking that the reasons could be:
1. the printer I am using is printing at a different resolution with the resolution of the camera.
2. the images are bitmaps and so since I am changing the height and width (propotionally though), that could be leading to distortion of the images slightly. Hence I am looking for a bitmap to vector image convetor.
Suggestions with regards to where I could be going wrong are very much welcome.
Thanx in advance

Vector Circle Has Jagged Edges - Why?

I'm creating a button logo in Fireworks for print use and
wanted to use Vector shapes as I thought they didn't distort.
I'm working in CMYK at 300DPI.
So I start out with a white vector circle for the outer-ring
to the button using an Anti-Alias edge:
White
Button
Then I add the inner vector cirle, same deal as before:
Blue inner
circle
So far so good.
Now I add an outer bevel effect to the blue circle to give
the button effect and....
WOOOOOAAAAHHH!!!!
The blue circle's edges have gone jagged! What happened
there? I thought that Vector shapes retained their edges because
they weren't confined to tiny pixels. What's going on, why aren't
the edges retaining their smoothness once I've applied an effect to
the shape?

For now, if you recreate the effect with an inner bevel
instead you will
get rid of the jaggies. (softness = 7)

Vectors printing jagged when placed over raster images

I am fixing a previously designed flyer for a reprint. On the last print, any vector object placed on top of the raster image was very noticeably jagged. This included both white text, which simply had jagged edges, to colored text, which had white jaggies as well. Drawn vector objects and clipping paths in jpgs were also jagged.
I used InDesign CS3 to create it, but I outlined the type, embedded all the images and exported as a .pdf (my project manager insists on this; so maybe it's not even an ID issue).
It looks fine when I print it on my hp LaserJet 2550n or the office's Canon iR 2800i - but that's never been a good way to tell how it's going to turn out at the end.
I know just making it all in Photoshop is probably the safest option, but I would really like to keep the sharpness of the vectors, and I've got Character/Paragraph styles etc going that would be a pain to redo in Photoshop. Plus, copy+pasting it into Photoship creates pdf/vector object that looks just as horrid (on screen - it looks the same when I print it on the above-mentioned printers, but I'm still paranoid).
Thanks for taking the time to read this and for any help you are able to offer!

Peter, thank you for your reply. I really appreciate the help.
Generally, I use the default settings for [Press Quality], since I don't have a complete understanding of all the settings. I have appended the .txt pdf setting summary at the bottom of this post.
I'm aware that outlining type is supposed to be unnecessary but 1) my project manager insists on it because he doesn't want to deal with any kind of font problems (maybe if this is at the root of the problem it will push him to accept it), 2) I'm using Fontin & Fontin Sans by Jos Buivenga (a high quality free font) and the ligatures/alternate characters
sometimes don't show correctly when printed (replaced by a ?) or viewed on another computer without the font.
Yes, I embed the images into the ID document (Links - embed images). This is only because my project manager insists on this as well. It is unnecessary to do this when saving to a .pdf, correct?
Here are the settings I generally use when exporting a pdf to send to the printer (who do not specify any kind of settings):

How do you split a vector image into several different colors

Hi, I'm trying to make an infographic for my company and wanted to use an image of christmas tree I found. I put it into Illustrator CS6 and traced it with the 16 colors option ( which i believe makes it a vector). What I want to do is change the colors of the christmas tree on each level of needles, but I can't figure out how to split up the image to change it into different colors. Sorry if this is confusing, any help appreciated.
Thanks
Audrey

Audrey, first off, you should know this:
Working with "a vector graphic" and working with a vector graphic that is the result of Illustrator's Image Trace are very likely to be very different things.
You would be much better off if you were starting with a tree graphic that was designed and drawn as a vector graphic in the first place. The people reading your post here can only imagine what's on your screen and how the Image Trace utility might have "seen" and traced it. I'll go so far as to say you won't be able to accomplish what you describe with an Image Trace as the basis. I'm not saying it's impossible, but I do know I wouldn't dare put myself through the anguish of attempting it. Honestly, I think you'll have a better chance of pulling it off if you keep the tree as a raster image, open it in Photoshop, and recolor sections of the tree there. But again, that could be determined with considerably more certainty if I could actually see it.
As a side note, I'd like to add this: You refer to the christmas tree image as one that you "found." I read that to mean you found it on the Internet. If that's the case, and the infographic you're planning is only for an internal presentation, it's not really a big problem, but even then you should consider acquiring permission or license to reuse the image. However, no matter how you might adapt or alter the image, just about any other scenario involving your re-use of that image could lead to issues of legality. Please don't pirate images.

How to convert raster images like( PNG, JPG,GIF, BMP, TIFF etc) into SVG

Hi Friends!
With a hope that any Java Guru from SUN Forum can help me to solve my query, I'm posting my thread here.
I have a project with feature to add image. My requirement is to convert any selected image file like (PNG,JPG,BMP,Tiff) into SVG Formate before adding it to Frame.
I found one software from the link :
http://delineate.sourceforge.net/
Which covert raster to SVG.
But I don't how can i use it runtime ?
I want to convert during runtime process. like when user select option for to add Image then it call a procedure to add Image by converting any raster to svg & finally add to Frame.
Your any help/suggestions wold be appreciated
Regards
Kirti

There are basically two approaches:
1. Embed the raster image in the SVG
2. Vectorize the image
1. Use Batik, or just write the XML yourself. Create some SVG files with embedded images, the syntax isn't to difficult. You could do it with a PrintWriter.
2. Good luck to you. Writing a good vectorizer is
- difficult
- often pointless
- though a great challenge if you're in to it
The appllication you mention actually is only a front-end. it doesn't execute the vectorization itself. It uses Potrace and autotrace, which are native applications.

Help converting raster product image to vector

I have an image of one of our products that I need to convert to a vector image for the use in a video. I'm not too skilled in IA and everytime I try to use Live Trace (w/ various settings) the results are not ideal. I've included a jpeg of the product. I have a hi-res raw file to work with. Can anyone provide me with advice on the best way to go about converting the image to vector? Thank you in advance!
Mel

Sounds like a poorly defined project then. You need to nail down the client's requirements and expectations.
If the requirements are simply for a scaleable 2D drawing, then a number of rendering methods will work. But if the animation envisioned calls for the cylindrical object to rotate (about any axis other than the line of sight), then doing that kind of frame-by-frame artwork in Illustrator will be inefficiently tedious.
Illustrator's 3D Effect can extrude the semicircle or split circle section. And creating a Blend between two copies of a 3D Effect object with different orientations can achieve the series of frame-by-frame images. But it cannot do the notch as one extruded object. Nor can it extrude two separate paths in the same 3D coordinate system at different positions along the extrusion axis. Nor can it revolve two paths at different degrees in the same 3D space. Plus, its rendering of reflective metalic surfaces is not as versatile as would be required, so you'd have to resort to artwork maping, which would not likely be very convincing on a rotating object.
So if the tube-like object is to spin, Illustrator is a poor choice of a program to use for it.
