can anyone on here help me in making a logo i have into a vectorised image please? Its for an engraver, and although i've found out what one is i don't know how to go about making my image into one! Would autocad be suitable?

Cheers,
Matt.

 

I think photoshop or paintshop pro would be suitable

 

what have you created the logo in?

 

i just have it as a picture at the moment. If paintshop is suitable then it should be all good.

Many thanks,
Matt.

 

you will need to get the logo re-illustrated by somebody depending on its complexity etc. wil either be quick/cheap job or long/expensive one

A vector image is a description of lines, angles and shapes, and where they are on the page. This allows them to be up and downscaled without any loss in image quality.

A bitmap image is literally that, a map of the pixels that make the image.

You can save a bitmap image in a vector image format, but when it's resized, you'll lose quality because the bitmap doesn't contain size information, like a vector drawing does.

A bitmap just says "there's a red dot here, a blue dot there, and a green dot there". A vector drawing says "there's a red circle here, it's diameter is x. There's a green square there, it's height and length are x and y." Basically, when you have dimensions to work with, you can resize anything to scale - when you don't have those dimensions, you'd make a best guess.
