![]() With the help of this converter you can "vectorize" literally in a couple of clicks. That is, such images are easily "stretched" to the right size without losing quality. If not to go into technical details the basic difference of a vector drawing from raster consists in absence of effect of "pixelisation" at scaling. ![]() It is also possible to achieve an interesting visual effect on other photographs.Vector Magic is a convenient raster to vector image converter. ![]() They would make a nice little graphic for a newsletter for an organization with Sandhill or Crane in the title. For example, the image below shows the cranes over a plain white background. One interesting thing you can do with a vectorized photo is to extract only a part of the photo for inclusion in a different composition. This can be compared to the result when using the photo mode (SVG available here): The SVG can be downloaded here and a preview is shown below: Here, the settings are Logo with Blended Edges, Medium, 5 Fixed Colors. This result is in stark contrast to the result from the photo mode (download the SVG here):Īnother interesting photo of birds in silhouette is this one of some Sandhill cranes in flight (full sized version available here):Īgain, by restricting the palette, we can achieve an interesting visual result. This results in the following vectorized result (available in SVG format here): It can produce a neat effect to select a small number of colors in an image like this one. The logo mode lets you pick the number of colors to use. The photo mode uses as many colors as the algorithm deems necessary to achieve a certain approximate error. This section will describe some tricks for getting good results when doing this type of vectorization.Ĭonsider the following source image(shown at reduced size, full size image available here):Ī neat trick is to use the "Logo with Blended Edges" mode rather than the photo mode. Of the various types of photograph vectorization, the one I find the most compelling is the vectorization of high-contrast scenes, especially those containing silhouettes. We call this "inspirational" vectorization because the photograph serves as inspiration for the vector art. What result should be given depends on what the user is looking for. There is no single correct answer when vectorizing a photo. With photos, the situation is not so simple. We call this "reconstructive" vectorization because the goal is to reconstruct the original vector art. Typically, someone drew the logo in a vector editor originally, and the goal of vectorization is to recover that lost original. With logos, there is usually a correct vectorization. In Vector Magic, we distinguish between vectorizing logos (a word we use to mean any sort of flat-shaded illustration that has been or should be vector art), and vectorizing photographs. With those caveats in mind, you can also use the Online Edition to follow this tutorial. ![]() The user interface looks slightly different, and there's no transparency support. The Online Edition is very similar to the Fully Automatic mode in the Desktop Edition. You can download a trial version from the desktop application page. This tutorial uses Vector Magic Desktop Edition. Images drawn in a bitmap editing tool like Photoshop.See separate tutorialīitmaps that were digitally rasterized from a vector art original. Scans of artwork that was originally drawn or printed on paper. Photographs, especially those with high contrast, such as silhouettes.What kind of images does this tutorial apply to? Photo vectorization is often done by hand, but this tutorial explains how you can use Vector Magic to make that process fast and easy for certain types of photographs. This process is typically called vectorization or tracing. This tutorial describes how to use Vector Magic Desktop Edition to produce interesting visual effects with photographs.
