CorelDRAW has a pretty good trace feature to convert from raster image to vectors for cutting. I think, however, that your dog image may be too detailed to cut successfully once you get it vectored.

You might also want to send it into the Vector Doctor (http://www.vectordoctor.com/) who can vectorize it for you for a very reasonable fee.

You may also want to browse vinyl-ready dogs at Express Clipart (http://expressclipart.com/store/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=dog&search_opt=and&inc_subcat=1&checklist=54&fchecklist=7&icheck1=1&ichecklist=7&cchecklist=2&thumbs=3&osCsid=7d571d6012c13bb7170b1be242ee31e7).

Raster image don't cut, vector images cut. If you bought the image from clipart.com it should have came in a vector format.

Looks like that's just a copyrighted JPG from Clipart.com

Buy the Vector image and try that !

[ladyeleanor]

i have bought the image from clipart.com, but i didn't want to put the original on here!

i just wanted help in vectorizing it.

[Ken]

Yeah, I'd try the Corel Trace feature..in X3..or the vector doctor.

I can't imagine having good success cutting that. Too much detail. And if you should get it cut, it will be near impossible to weed.......my02

I take it the image is not a vector, bummer and you paid $$$. I would use Corel X3 to convert it, or as others have said.....the Vector Doctor.

You want to cut and weed that?

Even if you come up with it in vector, life is too short and that's just beating up on yourself. You might try finding another image without so much detail.

Get it printed.

[ladyeleanor]

yes, it's fot my other half as a pressie.

typical!

I do convert via coral but i think it's coral i have the problem with, how to actually vectorize properly.

anyone got an idiot guide to vectorizing in coral? Step by step for a blonde if poss.

cheers

ps it's a jpg

[Si Allen]

It is an easy conversion in Corel X3...I just tried it...if you PM me with your email....I'll send it to you, as a .cdr and .ai.

[Si Allen]

Hey Ali...in Corel X3 click on Bitmap, then click on trace, then on clipart. Check Remove background, and move Smoothing on to the 1st notch and Detail all the way to the + mark and then OK.
Click on View, then Wireframe and move one image over to one side. Click on the grey image and delete it...what you have left is a cuttable vector image.

Hope that helps.

[ladyeleanor]

just need help with a font in the fonts thread if you can help.
