Need help creating vectors from an image

Post by tommymangoes »

Hello everyone! I am "very" new to both Vcarve Pro and CNC work. I'm reaching out to learn if any of you are able to create vectors from an image for me? I'd be happy to retain someone to help. Please let me know. I appreciate it and I look forward to becoming an active member of the forum and CNC'ing in general. Have a great day.

Can you upload the image? That way we can assess the level of difficulty.

Easy:

Curious? You spent good money on software that enables you to do this sort of thing. It seems to me that is a good project to learn how to create vectors.

It may LOOK all complicated to a beginner, but a vector, is a vector, is a, well, vector.

You will be surprised how fast you pick up on the tools.

For that matter the JPG file has so much artefacting that it'll be difficult to pull out a usable vector image without a great amount of editing.

Since it's a CanStock.com image the original EPS vector file used to create the image is available: https://www.canstockphoto.com/sport-fis ... 80106.html
