Vector Magic

I have been experimenting with the Vectors in SA to see if I could generate an image that was the same or very close to my art or even a photo. Often I created art that would not export a facsimile of my image.

By trial and error I found a method that works consistently. Although it is not always perfect it is close enough. And small adjustments can be made later in Illustrator.

I was so excited that I thought the method could be of help to everyone.

When I create and image I like, I switch to the Vectorizer in SA.

1. Default_4.03

2. General Category

Brushes:

3. Geotiler-Edge Smart1  

followed by

4. Use if already flat

Save:

Action: Generate EPS with Vectorizer

The resultant vector file opens in illustrator faster and more easily than if I generate an SVG with the vectorizer.

Attached is an eps file I created from a black and white photo. With minor adjustments in illustrator the finish would be great. I now I have a file that can be printed as large as I would like.

If anyone has even greater refinements in this process let me know.

Studio Artist is in Italy!

I was crawling the streets of Matera, Italy today and may have discovered where SA is hiding!  (see attached photo). Not meaning to make light of this great, sad mystery. But I just couldn't resist as I try to make sense of what's happening. Losing my connection to SA, Synthetik and John has been a great sadness... and if real, ends a monumental era in my creative life. love,~Victor
