# Nice.

At least you avoided the old 'smashing your head against the desk' stage then :)


Like I said up there ^^^, tracing rarely gives smooth results on shapes like this though.

# points up
what did you use. my file trace is perfect, but when i jpeg'd it, it was all bent. i've traced (threshold) photos at work and they are fine for 300dpi, but when i low res them they fuck up. any tips.

edit. see some of my profile. they have added BITS

# Hmm.

If the trace is perfect it *should* export down as a jpeg perfectly too...

Have you tried exporting them as high res but then converting the high res raster image down, instead of going straight from vector to low-res raster?

# i make it in ILL then export as a 300dpi to photoshop (so i can use the layers), then 72dpi it.
not for the logo above though. that was seperate software. i think we're on the same level, i'm just toasted.

# Gocha.
*Sounds* like you're doing everything right. Kinda hard to tell what's going on without a better idea of what "fucked up" means. If you're getting "other than the normal degradation when you convert to 72dpi" problems, follow up with me next time you see me and I'd love to trouble shoot it.

I'm off to bed now *yawn*


*edit* After reading your edit and checking your profile, the only ones in your profile that look like they've got added bits are a few near the bottom that look like they've got "gif lossy" bits. Other than those, they look great.

Care to link one in this thread and point out some bits? :)
