I didn’t have any problem understanding you guys. Thanks very much for the tutorial! Really helpful since I just got the program today.

To avoid all the ungrouping you did to seperate your black from white, you can simply go into the Live Trace options and choose “Ignore White.” Also, you can choose to use colour as well so for your Coca-Cola logo you could have selected “Use Colours” and “Ignore White” to create a vector outline of just the red logo.

I think Curtis Jackson Says it best ….
And I quote :
” Yeah, in Hollywoood they say there’s no b’ness like show b’ness
In the hood they say, there’s no b’ness like hoe b’ness ya know
They say I talk a lil fast, but if you listen a lil faster
I ain’t got to slow down for you to catch up, BIT.. “

@crearegroup I disagree, I hate it when people take forever to talk through simple things. I thought the pace of this tutorial was just right for the level of the content.

Good start, but I’m stuck at the point where you have to ungroup. I had imported my jpeg into illustrator. What happens if my jpeg file has a stroke? I wasn’t able to extract it completely by ungrouping it. It made the text look funny because of the stroke. Can you guys help? Thanks.

@crearegroup I also think this video is at perfect speed for the level of content. A beginner would usually have no reason to create a vector illustration, so I don’t really see what this “speed talk” is about :/ Great tut

the talking speed is not a problem at all.
you may want to skip the ‘we are gay’ intro and outtro sequences though

@crearegroup I also stumbled upon this while searching for converting vector files I run an ecommerce website and found the info within the video really useful. There’s a lot you’ve packed into the video and although your speaking quite quickly I still thought it was clear. I’ve subscribed as I think the format that you are making your videos is great and it makes it that little bit more interesting. Just a different view point for you. Keep up the good work.

I can’t separate the white background with the logo. The Ungroup selection isn’t highlighted. Why’s that?

Grandas cromos… pensava que eu era o cromo impossivel… mas afinal existem cromos que são unicos no mundo. Parabens aos dois.

What if I want to export an image or a picture? How can I fill the colors on that back?
TecmoBO34 on November 8, 2011 at 12:25 am
So I tried to make a vector out of a jpeg and it WORKS! It even worked better than I expected. One question. Why is some of my background not being removed at times? Example. I created a vector out of a logo called “PEARL JAM”. I followed the background removal steps and most of the background was removed. However, some of it’s not, such as the circular areas on the inside of the letter “P” and the inside space in the letter “A”. Can this be fixed?

Cant believe u guys!
U turn a jpeg into a… crappy looking piece of vector, which looks nothing like the original. Why do all the one-button-wizards feel the need to share their wisdom with the world. I´m dying to see ur next vid, maybe youll share the secret illustrator technique of typing the letter “c” with pointed index finger.
Useless…

native english speaker here, I found your pace just right; skipped several other tutorials for taking too long to make the same point
