Vector stuff

[vista?]

Before I even start, yes I used the PDN search engine!

Anyway, I was wondering if someone could create a Vector art plugin or something. I know PDN doesn't do vector art, but what if you we could replicate it and yet still be a graphics editor. I've seen a tut for this but for all my photos, the images look awful - very awful for some when i use this tut.

Download Inkscape. It's actually made for that.

Making a plugin for PdN to do vector images would basically be like programming a new program. Why not use one that's made for it?

Besides, Inkscape is free. :-)

Where is the tut you mentioned?

Vector stuff is clearly not made for photos.

whats vector stuff

[david.atwell]

Vector images are saved as a series of lines and curves. The other option - Raster images - are saved as a series of pixels. :-)

What about a plug - in that just makes it look like a vector image although it still is a pixel image if you know what i mean

That's what seam carving is

I'm pretty sure someone created a basic program using it. Google it.

No, that is not what seam carving is. Seam carving is that content-aware image resize program which was discussed a few months ago; you know, the one where we begged for a plugin.

EDIT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seam_carving.

For the task you ask, there is no definitive plugin which can do that, however, a few techniques can get you close. I'd elaborate more, but I'm short on time, I just answered to clear up that slight misinformation .

That's what my Ink Sketch plugin does. And, since it is built-in to Paint.NET, you already have what you're looking for.

It does a good job but it still looks a bit .. . (pencilish)

You still haven't showed me where is the tut you were talking about?? :?

[vista?]

Ash, you may have to wait, I'm looking through all the pages in the tut section to find it.

Please bear in mind, I am a school kid bombarded with homework because I attend a selective school!

[Ash]

No problem, I ask because if the users can see a tut on how to, maybe someone can come up with a work around.

[david.atwell]

The ink sketch and the surface blur should do a good job approximating a vector image, but as I said before, there's no way to make it look exactly correct.
