Does anyone have a recommendation for which tool to use to redraw graphics/logos that are not print ready? (Magic Wand?) Most graphics are tif, jpg, bmp and gif that are fuzzy due to inadequate dpi. I am using Photoshop 7 for Windows on WinXP. Thanks in advance – L
I’m not exactly sure what you mean by "redraw". And I’m not exactly what you would call a "seasoned
profesional…but I worked for a promotional items company that put company logos & artwork on awards, apparrel and other items. But unfortunately most of the artwork submitted by the customers were unusable. They’d send in bad .jpgs, tiffs, etc. (we neede either crisp camera ready art or vector art for laser engraving machines, etc.)
So we used to actually REDRAW them using mostly CorelDraw or Illustrator, by importing the bad art,
and redrawing it on a transparent layer above.
Occaisionally you could get away with using the CorelTrace program inside of CorelDraw. Atually while writing this a gave it a quick whirl in Photoshop with the pen tool. You can even just create a new layer on top and draw over the original with the pen tool, then either stroke the path or fill it with a color.
It’s all kinda painstaking…but do-able.
Not sure if that helps you…but it’s a try…
