Illustration - General / Re: how to 'frame' eps vector
« on: March 19, 2013, 03:50 »
I select the box and made the artboard fit to the 'transparent' box, and delete the transparent frame.

I assume some eps buyer will just open the file like in photoshop, but it is always clipped to the edge of the vector instead of the edge of artboard.

Can't really figure out what is the solution..

Hi Davidgoh,

Do you add a 'transparent' box around your vector?

I have no problem to generate jpg out of illustrator or photoshop.. in order to get the raster jpg same as the eps vector, I don't know any method other than adding the 'transparent' box with no filled and no line.

I hope i explain it good enough..


Hi all,

I usually make a 'box' with no line, and no fills that 'frame' my eps vector..so there are so space around the vector when it is rasterize as jpg in photoshop or other application..

I got some rejections sometimes saying i should remove the 'white shape' in the background as it will cause some problems for some applications.

I convert the shape as 'artboard'..and no more shape.

but if i open in an application, there are no space around the eps vector..and it is like cropping to the maximum.

I don't like how it shows as preview..and a vector that touching border with no space.

If my method is wrong, what is the way to do it?

any adobe illustrators expert can give me a hint? thanks!

Hey there! I'm a vector artist and I think I know your pains. When I first started out, I had this issue as well.

I've personally found that the fastest and easiest way to save a JPG of your file is to use the "Save for Web & Devices" Command under Adobe Illustrator (You are using Illustrator, right?). Under the "Image Size"  Tab to the right, set your required dimensions, and be sure to turn on "Clip to Artboard" and you should be good to go.

I hope this helps. If you're insistent on opening a file in a raster program such as Photoshop, doing so will open up a prompt on your required dimensions and other details. under "Page Options" and the drop down Menu "Crop To:", set to "Bounding Box" (It's set to Media Box by default, which ignores your art board.) Be warned though that rasterizing in Photoshop can sometimes change colour information, which is why I recommend using Illustrator's innate "Save for Web" command. :)

I thought there shouldn't have any layers in eps file? so there is s still a white box?

I was using 'crop' function sometimes, but it is not available in new AI anymore.

what is the right way to do it?


I was having issues as well. Now as an indie, I am having the task to re- prepare my vector files to upload to as many different agencies as possible.

I make a white box the size of the art board and lock that layer. Then the art goes on a layer on top.

There is still hundreds of vector eps files I need to make adjustments to like included iptc data to. I never needed to do it when uploading to istock exclusively.

i think there is a tool to check raster image in eps files..

ha, never heard about it... somehow the list is quite interesting. May not be useful..but maybe will bring in some traffic to dreamstime..

List is still indexing from latest photos to older cameras. it isn't complete yet. It will show up eventually. I'm waiting for my NeinGrenze 5000T to show up, I'm pretty sure I'm the only one using that camera.

it works! thanks!

OK, Cycles. I was using BI. I just tried checking Transparent on the film subpanel of the Render panel, with output set to PNG/RGBA and it rendered with a transparent background using Cycles.

Hi, the 'triangle button' is under 'output' tab under the 'scene'?

by the way i am rendering it with cycles..i wonder does it make a difference.

I can render the output with a dark grey background which easy to remove from photoshop, but i wonder how to turn it to transparent in blender.

When you got to the step after rendering, but before saving, pressing the (triangle button)lower right side choose colors and alpha, did you see the background turn into a black and white square background, i.e. no background?  Then you can save as a png that you can use in photoshop, to add a white background for an isolated object, or add into a composition.

I put a white backdrop at the back of my object.. should i remove it? if i remove it?

I will  try to render first..

I just rendered the default cube after setting the output to PNG/RGBA, and saved the resulting render. It opens in Photoshop as a cube with transparent background.

do i need to put the background and object on different layers?

how would the system able to render a transparent background?

thanks.

Have you tried to change the output under the camera tab to png and choose RGBA button; render, then on the rendered window on the lower right side choose colors and alpha (triangle button), then save as image png

since it is a liquid..i may take sometimes to use pen tool to isolate in photoshop..

the populate button is not able to batch process multiple files same time right?

i do use the populate button to assign categories..but one need to click agree and 'submit' for every files right?

shutterstock..fotolia.. and every other site that you can move the similar files just by doing 1 time..

if you have 10 image from same situation, why need to repeat 10 times?

basically the worst submit is istock, and dreamstime is second..



it takes more than one year for them to admit a mistake and realize it is lost lost situation for everyone..

and how about the batch edit process?

even fotolia had a batch process.. nowadays a lot of ppl start as 1000k portfolio..not really just some weekend hobbies..
Do you use the populate button?  Makes it all a lot quicker, especially or catagories and model releases.
