The Best Way to Vectorize Your Detailed Photoshop Art

This a great video and my compliments to you for making it concise and to the point.

I’d like to address the issue you bring up at the beginning where you talk about converting to vectors for silk screen printing. I know that a lot of screen making went on before the advent of computers to help the process along. There have been, for a long time, photo resist process chemicals for making screens. If your print house is demanding vectors, you might want to push back a little by reminding them of this process. As long as you can give them a high enough resolution high contrast image, they should be able to work with that, and not have you spending more time to make it to their unreasonable constraints. Be well.

Dude, I don't know to thank you, this has genuinely saved my logo business. I make very complicated metal logo's for bands and I have been struggling for a long time to make them look as nice vector wise as they do when I draw them, but it is simple not possible because of the complexity. I just tried this method and I am absolutely speechless. Thank you so much bro!

Thank you so much for saving me so much headache, I don't do any work in Illustrator but needed to get something out to be printed and this saved me so much hassle. Thank you so much!

Miracle. Thank you so much

This is by far THE BEST process I have seen for converting detailed artwork to a vector AI file... thank you for sharing!!!

LITERAL LIFESAVER ILY I HOPE YOUR BIRTHDAY WISHES ALWAYS COME TRUE

Thank you

Man you saved my life and my business! haha Thank you so so so much!!!

This is really useful by why not just scan in the drawing at very high dpi then apply whatever colour to the scanned artwork?

Wow! I wish I knew this step a long time ago. Instant follow !

wow....life changing

Amazing! Where do you learn all this stuff! I love it, thankyou!

So helpful, thank you 🙏

Wow...cool...thank you.

I don't have Illustrator... Will this work with Inkscape?

But how does it looks up close? Usually I find photoshop path making based on selections quite jarring, because it will treat anchor points somewhat like pixels positioning them like that.

Genius!

Thanks!

Thanks very much, but the path i get when i convert it in PS is not at all accurate

This is not a tutorial. This is full blown MASTERCLASS!

Great Video Very informative Thank you. Question Now what if i used a layer style in photoshop thats tweaked it alot, Has a lot going on. I havnt found a way to convert it to a vector while keeping those properties in tact. Any Suggestions?

How do you do it with multiple colors?

Thank you very much, I always thought this trick existed but never knew the process, in then it’s very simple but so handy, love it !

Very cool, thank you for sharing!

Are you sure that tweaking the settings in the image trace panel doesn’t give similar results? You literally have a threshold and a corners sliders, which would be theoretically the same as the threshold and smoothing you’re applying in photoshop.

it has to be a black or white art only can we do with colors ?

Good Video... But, why do you need a vectorfile for T-shirt prints? Why don't you create it in Illustrator if you know you need a vectorfile. I'm pretty sure the vectorization in Illustrator is at least as good as in Photoshop. With the same preparation.

Fairly new to AI & PS and recently been working a lot with vectors. I've been frustrated by the loss in quality by using image trace so this video has been an absolute godsend. Thanks so much for offering such a valuable tip for free!

subscribed within first 10 secs of videos, no bs, no stupid intro, straight to the point, simple valuable infos, love it.

It really helped. It shows the same result as the original image rather than image trace. Thank you so much. 감사합니다! :)

THank you so much you just saved me so much time!

Is there a way to vectorize my hand drawn art in photoshop? I would scan it and save it as a jpg or png in my computer.

Why wouldn’t you simply save the image as a high resolution bitmap. You can apply spot colors to it in illustrator for printing and bam done in a fraction of the time with a smaller file size and no worry about the vector not tracing well

Illustrator's Image Trace results have never been satisfying to me, even when giving Illustrator an easy logo to trace it stills adds some weird curves where there should be straight lines. This was a much needed tutorial, and I am so glad I finally found something that legitimately keeps the details you want. Thank you very much!!

My jaw is on the floor. omg. this is genius.

I hate image trace with a passion, this tutorial is amazing!

Thank you for your help

I think I missed a step, because my original artwork has several colors and by following the steps, it's only black and white in illustrator. Any ideas where I went wrong?

This is incredible, and well explained. Thanks!

victor magic is better than that and if you play with threshold level you do not make it any better vivtoryzing you only change the real shape of the object

Stunning. Agree with the rest something I would never have figured out. Thank you & I just stumbled on it looking to find a shortcut metrhod to make multiple arc's which I didn't find ;)

Fantastic I've been searching for this for a long time. TY!!!! Does this also work with high-colored images or better for B&W?

This is BRILLIANT!! Thank you!

Actually?
My 17 years of photoshop and illustrator knowledge has been blown out of the water, this is nuts.
Complete game changer and thank you for not putting it behind a paywall, that's amazing!

Does it also work for colored images?

Can you do a video with color! Even if its super short
