[spooksmagee]

and can i ask if theres a program can maintain its quality? 800x600 enlarge into 1240x950

[izawa20]

sir.... is adobe illustrator can make ur image larger??? cuzz i have 800x600 images and i wnt to make it 1240x950 and then it makes it blurry in Adobe photoshop CS3

[spooksmagee]

@izawa20 Not that I know of. The pixel count doesn't change when you enlarge an image, so the blurriness will always be there.

[ArslanSSS]

Very Simple and Excellent Tutorial : ) Thumbs up.

bakemonogatari was pretty cool. i wish she didnt fell for araragi =(

[BlubbaPinecone]

I have a sudden urge to watch Bakemonogatari again...

[MajinHD]

could this work with photoshop cs4?

[spooksmagee]

@MajinHD I'm not sure. You can trace in photoshop but I think illustrator's vector tools are more robust. The whole program is designed around vectors, just like photoshop is designed for raster graphic work.

[MajinHD]

@spooksmagee ok so i will need adobe illustrator, well thanks for letting me know :D

[blush07]

[felly1000]

Excellent set of tuts, well done and thanks!

[mikeccuk2006]

illustrator should really be merged with photoshop like how it did with imageready cs2

[KosukeKGA]

can I do this stuff in photoshop cs3

[NintendogChamp]

may I ask what vectoring thing you're using? like what program and where I can get it?

[strangeboy21]

Great video. Is there a link to the image you were using?

[spooksmagee]

@strangeboy21 The finished product, or the original screenshot?

Thank you so much for not writing things in notepad while recording, rather having it pre-written.

I am sincere about that. =3

[ReLaXx0r]

nice thx :)

[shanetalbert]

wow, for being one of those "speaking by notepad" tutorials, you did a really good job! *liked*

[justaquietperson]

Thanks very much for this tutorials! Really well explained and with an awesome result.

Few people does that just for sharing knowledge.

Do you have any DA, galleries, msn? :3

[spooksmagee]

@justaquietperson I've been thinking about setting up a deviant art page, just never got around to it. Maybe in the future.

[NiGHTSChao689]

Just a tip, you can go to Window -> Transparency and have a slider for whichever object you want to make transparent. You don't have to constantly open up the Layer Options for that.

[spooksmagee]

@NiGHTSChao689 thanks for the tip. I tend to do things the roundabout way in illustrator/PS, shortcuts are always welcome. Half the ones I know I discover by accident...

[Emleingod]

Fantastic tutorial, I never though I would be able to use illustrator, your video helped a lot.

[MightyX1337]

For some reason when I use direct selection tool it moves all my anchors instead of the one I clicked, I have no idea how to change this, could it be because I'm using CS4?

[MightyX1337]

bah u just have to double click anchor to move it alone, sorry for question, please delete those comments

[dingumfCallofDuty]

Nice tutorial but a little tip:

You should allow Windows to show extensions.

That way you'll see files named image.jpg, image.png and such.

Also you won't accidentally click on image.exe which is a virus.

[Mike4evermetal2]

Excellent Tutorial, I aready know how to vectorize anime, but thanks to these videos I could optimize my habilities. 5/5 Subscribed

[spooksmagee]

thanks, I'm glad you found it helpful. :)

[bezlanoi92]

@spooksmagee got a tutorial using Inkscape?

[shikamarusgirl17]

@bezlanoi92 I'd actually like to see that too.
