  1. Vinyl Lettering Coming Off

    With them being parked and not used is the side that is failing getting more sun exposure over the side that still looks good? If so, the whole thing could be bad and right now the added heat of the direct sun might just be speeding up the rate of failure on the sunny side. Old Paint's point is...

  5. Border Clean Up

    If I'm tracing something I always use the bezier with straight lines (no click and drag). The anchor points are exactly placed. Single keystroke hotkeys convert only the lines I want to curves without dicking around with the endpoints. I'm left handed - my curve tools are hotkeyed to the right...
  6. Border Clean Up

    Josh is right, use the minimum amount to get the shape you want. Don't use the freehand option when just starting out. The bezier will allow better control of your point placement. Start with straight line segments ending at each turning point in your path - set them all. Then go back and...
  7. Border Clean Up

    Looks like you are doing that in PhotoPaint. What you want to do is set it up in Draw instead. Find the vertical center and put a guide line there Take the bezier pen tool and trace half the shape with a single line right in the center of your existing graphic. Once you get the shape right...
  8. Art quality prints

    For presentation ideas you should try to pick Artbot's brain. He is resident ink mad scientist here that turns out fine art displays. My idea would be to separate the animal from the background, print it second surface onto clear plex and stand if off the background print. Then you could color...

  13. Lines in .tiff file when exporting from Illustrator

    If you preview the ai exported tiff in photoshop are the lines there? I know ai can break up images into odd bits an pieces when rasterizing vectors but these sometimes leave little white 1 or 2 pixel gaps that can show up in a print - have not seen what you are showing. wayne k guam usa

  15. How do we compete with this?

    Someone could make a fortune producing help videos and user's guides that would save customers from the confusion/frustration of trying to assemble a house from the instructions IKEA normally supplies with their DIY products.

  16. For all you shops that bring the pooch to work

    You go to the pound and you will end up paying big time. They won't let you just take them, you have to pay to have them spayed/neutered - shots - tags etc... If you want to take the less expensive (dare I say "cheaper") route just pick up a few on the side of the road that didn't make it all...
