Dear All,
sorry if this question has been asked before. I have problem for tracing/re-drawing one image. The result is never be satisfying. I used the pen tool for that. What I always do is just crop that image and put it piece by piece, and this is always bad quality
Is there any other way to re-draw? or I have to stick practicing re-drawing
Thanks for the respond Diella |

If your tracing an image with the pen tool, ur best friends are the Alt and ctrl keys  If you hold down the alt button while over a handle it changes to the to the convert point tool, which u can use to shape ur last path before moving onto the next. The ctrl key switches the pen to the direct selection tool so you can go back and edit point without loosing the path.
Basically the trick is to use as little points as posible and lead the bezier curves in the direction of ur next path.
Its kind of hard to explain, maybe someone else can do a better job then me hehe.
But, once u master the pen tool... photoshop, illustrator and any other graphics prog is urs for the taking....so stick at it. Its actually very easy once u figure it out.

Hi Diella,
Could you post a sample of the type of image you are trying to trace? Stickdiesel gave you a great answer but it wasn't clear to me if you were trying to turn a bitmap image into a vector image or quite what your goal was.

I'm confused too, Diella, just exactly what it is you are trying to do... [confused] and, as Welles has mentioned, an example would really help us to understand better.
Good info on the pen tool, stickdiesel! | |

Hi All,
oopss..sorry if I confuse you. Here I attach the file. It will easy for you guys, [honesty] but for me that's not that easy, I try several times. But as you see the lines and the image is not smooth.
thanks for the advice |

I would create this image using the pen tool and shape layers, Diella!
Remember, that although you are using vector tools, Photoshop is a pixel based program and you'll never get the really smooth lines that you get from a true vector program (like Illustrator).

Thanks Stickdiesel, welles and Wendy.
one other question. I dont know whether I should post it in new topic, but its still related to the work that I am doing now.
Why if I duplicate the layer containing image to new layer, the size is change?
For example, I want to duplicate image with size 3 cm (width) and 4 cm (height) to the bigger canvas with size A-4. The image size for the duplicated layer is reduce. It becomes smaller. So I have to resize again in the new canvas. Is it common like that? or maybe do it in the wrong way?
Again, thanks for ur respond :}
Diella

You could start by checking whether you are working on 100% (true size). You can do this easily by double clicking on the zoom tool icon on the tools palette.
The zoom tool itself does not make anything bigger: it enlarges what you see, like looking through a magnifier glass.
To change the size of your entire image, go to the Image menu and choose Image size. If you really want to change the size, Photoshop will have to make new pixels, so you have to leave Resample checked.
To change the size of one layer, choose resize on the edit menu.

Dear Erik,
I did that. I have just printed the image that I duplicate, to see its different sizes. The result is the original image is bigger than the duplicated image.
I attach here for you to see it. I am not using the actual image regarding to the concern of downloading time and file size. Also for the face (I am sure that man in the image doesnt want his face to be appear here [shhh] , so I cover it)
The first image (before it is duplicated) size is width = 100 pixel, height = 120 pixel.
I duplicated it to the canvas with size width=1080 pixel, height=1152 pixel.
I used zoom 100% or actual size as you recommended. But when I print it without resize the image, the image in the bigger canvas is smaller than the first image. I mean the image itself, not the canvas.
How to get the actual image size, when we duplicate it into the new canvas. Should we always resize it?
Thanks a lot
Diella
