    This video just completely saved me from having to redraw an artwork. I knew how to convert my image to vector, but I was using a png and it was coming out terrible. Using a TIFF gave back so much detail that was being removed from my drawing. THANK YOU!

    So is Sunday morning , I’m fixing breakfast for my daughter and I’m thinking at some point I’ll have to learn how to vectorize my procreate drawings next week.
    Next thing I know I’m watching this video and before my beautiful daughter ends her breakfast I know the basics of what I thought would be a hard learning process.
    You’re a natural born educator my friend.
    Muchas gracias for the amazing tutorial. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

  • @EPHONIC
    @EPHONIC 5 ปีที่แล้ว +167

    Thanks, Charley. I find that it’s best to NOT resize the TIFF format file after bringing it into Illustrator as the image trace function captures more detail from the reference pixels of the image at the larger size. The image trace can essentially render more curves and detail points at the larger size. Once refined and rendered as vectors, you can then scale the new vector shapes down and more detail will be evident. Nice pace in your videos. So many others resort to snail pace instruction. Thanks!
