Today, Mrs. Dersch put our lesson for the day on the big screen television in the classroom. Connecting her laptop to the television, she showed us one of her works in progress from her job and demonstrated on how to use live trace, the various pen tools, how to manipulate lines and points, alignments.
Live Trace - Changes the stroke of the image (it is best to have your image in black and white)
Subtract Pen - Deletes points to make an image more cleaner. (Pen tool with a subtract symbol at its side)
Anchor Point Pen - Fixes pen points and vectors that cuts off the image. (Pen tool with an arrow head by its side) *Command + Z = Return previous points*
In order to make a stroke a shape = Object tab > Path > Outline Stroke
- Vectors and points will only show on an image if the image is livetraced!
Align Tab - Adjusts the alignment and spacing between selected objects.
Command + F = Paste in Front
Command + B = Paste in Back
Need to Knows:
A photoshop file that is placed in Illustrator is pixelated!
