Tutorial

How to use image tracing function in Illustrator.

11/14/2021

 

Let's transform the image file to vector image.

   ​I received the following paper from the school where my second child attends the Native American Parade. Today I'm going to show you how to turn this physical paper into a digital file image. The program used is Illustrator.
First, take a picture of the paper as shown below. (​Just take a picture like the one below.)

  The picture above shows the symbols  called pictograph used by Native Americans and their meanings.
​
First, import this file into Illustrator.
You have to use Ctrl + Shift + P and then put the image on the white canvas like below. (or you can go to upper menu like this : File--> Place)
​And then you can find the below screen.
