00:00:03,980 --> 00:00:08,000
Hi there and welcome to Image Tracing in Adobe Illustrator.

2
00:00:08,780 --> 00:00:16,580
Now we're going to start from an image, a High-Resolution image for a cute dog and turn it into a path,

3
00:00:16,850 --> 00:00:22,790
which means we're going to trace it and then try to change the colors and maybe edit whatever is inside.

4
00:00:23,390 --> 00:00:25,180
It can do that with almost an image.

5
00:00:25,190 --> 00:00:29,890
I'm going to show you a couple of techniques here and what works and what doesn't work on your system.

6
00:00:30,530 --> 00:00:31,190
So let's start.

7
00:00:31,910 --> 00:00:37,700
First of all, we're going to find a place I'm going to go to image, it's called Dog.

8
00:00:39,410 --> 00:00:42,590
And we are going to places I'm going to place one over here.

9
00:00:43,690 --> 00:00:48,250
That's big enough and duplicated, just duplicated over here, because I want to show you different

10
00:00:48,250 --> 00:00:48,910
techniques.

11
00:00:52,060 --> 00:00:54,430
This image is high resolution, as you can see.

12
00:00:56,550 --> 00:01:01,560
As soon as you have an image and you click on it, you will notice that you have here image trees.

13
00:01:02,130 --> 00:01:06,590
I'm going to start by clicking over here and simply going to the default.

14
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:07,290
Not much.

15
00:01:08,110 --> 00:01:13,420
And it's going to give me tracing may proceed slowly with this large image, would you like to continue?

16
00:01:13,870 --> 00:01:15,220
No, I don't want to continue.

17
00:01:15,230 --> 00:01:20,270
I want to rest tries to take down the resolution of the image.

18
00:01:20,470 --> 00:01:21,230
How do you do that?

19
00:01:21,730 --> 00:01:25,380
Well, you select your image and then you go to object.

20
00:01:25,390 --> 00:01:27,070
And over here you have an asterisk.

21
00:01:27,610 --> 00:01:33,370
This is similar to what you have seen in documentaries or effects you don't use surrounded by when you

22
00:01:33,370 --> 00:01:34,270
are working.

23
00:01:34,270 --> 00:01:37,710
Maybe you reduce it, as you can see, to 72.

24
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:42,730
And later on, you hike it back when you want to print the same way for an image.

25
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,550
After you trace the image, you cannot read the stories and go back and stories.

26
00:01:46,900 --> 00:01:47,820
So we got to do that.

27
00:01:47,830 --> 00:01:53,180
We've got to come to object and rationalize the image and take it to 72.

28
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,130
Now, I'll show you the difference between 72 and 300 and click.

29
00:01:57,130 --> 00:01:58,810
OK, now there's the image.

30
00:01:58,810 --> 00:02:00,010
Resolution has changed.

31
00:02:00,010 --> 00:02:04,150
It is less perfect now or the pictures are bigger.

32
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:10,510
Let's take the first image here and go to image trees and give it the default.

33
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,570
The default here is black and white.

34
00:02:14,550 --> 00:02:21,870
Let's take now the image of the high resolution and go for default, and it's going to give me the story,

35
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,870
I click, OK, because it's going to do it only once and notice the difference.

36
00:02:26,340 --> 00:02:27,720
This is high resolution.

37
00:02:28,050 --> 00:02:30,000
This is not high resolution at all.

38
00:02:30,630 --> 00:02:32,100
The difference is quite impressive.

39
00:02:32,490 --> 00:02:35,480
But now do not disregard the 72 PBI.

40
00:02:35,700 --> 00:02:37,930
It can really give you very nice results.

41
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:44,560
Let's see, from the fourth year, I'm going to go for a six colors or even three colors to start with.

42
00:02:44,910 --> 00:02:46,010
That's the three color.

43
00:02:46,050 --> 00:02:47,410
It has even changed the background.

44
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:50,900
Let's go for three colors here and you have to learn how to wait.

45
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:56,260
And it is now in charge in pixelate clustering is going to do a lot of work.

46
00:02:56,460 --> 00:02:57,690
I'm going to speed it up for you.

47
00:02:59,790 --> 00:03:02,960
And you notice the difference, this is quite altruistic.

48
00:03:03,540 --> 00:03:08,760
And this is another one which is really quite artistic, but a lot of details here, if you want.

49
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:16,940
You have had the option of the menu if you click on it or the trace panel, you have lots of options

50
00:03:16,940 --> 00:03:20,020
you can work with and are all very interesting.

51
00:03:20,030 --> 00:03:27,500
Most of them, at least the first one, is for the autocar, meaning you instead of choose the colors,

52
00:03:27,510 --> 00:03:30,320
I'm going to click on it because it's going to take time again.

53
00:03:30,530 --> 00:03:31,670
I'm going to speed it up.

54
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:38,510
And you notice now the background is back to why there is a good precision here with the dogs that face

55
00:03:38,510 --> 00:03:39,940
the white on the dog.

56
00:03:40,250 --> 00:03:41,750
Let's do the same with this guy.

57
00:03:41,750 --> 00:03:44,900
We go to this and it's almost automatic.

58
00:03:44,900 --> 00:03:47,050
You notice two Treuhand 300.

59
00:03:47,390 --> 00:03:48,740
This one is quite speedy.

60
00:03:49,650 --> 00:03:51,650
I like this artwork a lot, by the way.

61
00:03:52,650 --> 00:03:57,680
You have several options that you can try here, some of them are really quite nice.

62
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:02,860
I'm going to go for high colors and you'll notice the resolution is not bad at all.

63
00:04:03,030 --> 00:04:03,890
It's an art.

64
00:04:03,900 --> 00:04:06,910
It's something that you want to create and maybe you want to change.

65
00:04:07,170 --> 00:04:11,720
Now, if I go for the high colors here, they're going to take some time.

66
00:04:12,930 --> 00:04:13,580
Here you are.

67
00:04:13,670 --> 00:04:17,480
It's really a lot of this this is not the real image, guys.

68
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,200
This is the image.

69
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,210
There is practically no difference here.

70
00:04:21,690 --> 00:04:25,520
They can even expand this one now, make it all together and work on it.

71
00:04:25,860 --> 00:04:27,340
It's going to give you great results here.

72
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:28,710
It depends on what you want to do.

73
00:04:29,070 --> 00:04:35,130
I'm going to go for the low color because it somehow gives us better results so we can believe this

74
00:04:35,130 --> 00:04:37,380
is not the real image.

75
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:44,500
Much better now because we can see that is really racialized and somehow we can see the path.

76
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:51,180
Now, within here, you notice the number of colors, if you like this one, it has 85 colors.

77
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,770
This is high pass or high colors, if you like.

78
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,130
This is now low.

79
00:04:55,130 --> 00:04:56,210
It has 30 colors.

80
00:04:56,900 --> 00:04:59,230
This one has 85 colors.

81
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:04,400
You can reduce the number of colors, something that is, you know, not so advanced to do, and it

82
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,400
will recalculate and gives you the colors.

83
00:05:06,410 --> 00:05:07,910
I like this one very much.

84
00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:12,530
Let's do this one, not high color, but we're going to take it to.

85
00:05:17,180 --> 00:05:24,380
And now reduce the number of callers I have only 16 callers I can reduce to 10 callers just to show

86
00:05:24,380 --> 00:05:26,480
you and is going to go again.

87
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:35,940
Now, if you look at the difference in art itself, this is not bad at all, but I do sincerely love

88
00:05:35,940 --> 00:05:36,360
this one.

89
00:05:36,370 --> 00:05:38,070
It has more mysterious.

90
00:05:40,250 --> 00:05:45,380
Now, after playing here, playing with your cars and saying you have an infinite number of details

91
00:05:45,380 --> 00:05:48,330
you can play with, let's see what we can do with this image.

92
00:05:48,350 --> 00:05:49,370
Now, first thing you want to do.

93
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:50,860
I'm going to use this one because I like it.

94
00:05:51,930 --> 00:05:57,030
Is to expand, expand means, turn everything into park or fields, if you like.

95
00:05:57,930 --> 00:06:03,960
It has expanded the image can do the same for here, I'm going to expand it, let's work on this one,

96
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:04,610
close the image.

97
00:06:04,620 --> 00:06:05,910
We don't want any more.

98
00:06:07,150 --> 00:06:10,480
The first thing is to select the direct connection tool.

99
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,030
Not just now, I can select the background, which is totally useless.

100
00:06:15,050 --> 00:06:15,780
I'm going to delete it.

101
00:06:16,130 --> 00:06:16,880
Same for here.

102
00:06:17,770 --> 00:06:20,530
This is somehow the control, not the background.

103
00:06:20,870 --> 00:06:21,770
I'm going to delete it.

104
00:06:21,770 --> 00:06:23,210
So I have only this.

105
00:06:24,350 --> 00:06:29,010
Let's start with this one, I can select a colour and I can change the color.

106
00:06:29,030 --> 00:06:31,700
Now, if I come over here, I can change the color.

107
00:06:31,710 --> 00:06:37,060
If you select everything and change the color, one feel is not going to give you any good results,

108
00:06:37,070 --> 00:06:38,990
just a silhouette or something like this.

109
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,330
So it will change the color of this guy.

110
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,140
I'm going to undo keeping my selection.

111
00:06:44,150 --> 00:06:49,430
I'm going to go select and ask him to select all the path that have the same feel.

112
00:06:49,700 --> 00:06:50,750
It's fit color here.

113
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:57,840
So there are many then I can change them to a brighter color, for example, even more bright, something

114
00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:00,320
like this, not this, you changed all the image.

115
00:07:00,330 --> 00:07:01,080
That's pretty good.

116
00:07:01,470 --> 00:07:02,580
You can do the same here.

117
00:07:02,590 --> 00:07:06,120
I don't know if you're going to find colors because this one had a lot of colors.

118
00:07:06,180 --> 00:07:08,760
Select a seam fit colors.

119
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,140
Not it doesn't have.

120
00:07:10,410 --> 00:07:12,210
There is a lot of color variation here.

121
00:07:13,550 --> 00:07:19,550
I'm going to do this, and now obviously you can come over zoomIn, if you like, and decide, OK,

122
00:07:19,550 --> 00:07:20,940
this year I don't want it.

123
00:07:21,260 --> 00:07:22,730
Let's go for this election to.

124
00:07:24,290 --> 00:07:31,200
Like this ship and go inside the group over here and delete it, for example, or, I don't know, change

125
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:31,640
its color.

126
00:07:31,670 --> 00:07:32,300
We did that.

127
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:38,720
And maybe to play this one differently, it's quite intense here for you to work with, but you can

128
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:39,620
really work it out.

129
00:07:40,540 --> 00:07:46,630
Let's take this path and this path and maybe we can come to the shipbuilders tour and merge them.

130
00:07:48,540 --> 00:07:55,380
I might select this shape and shift, select the other one, use the ShareBuilder to just match the

131
00:07:55,380 --> 00:07:59,730
colors if you want to, and maybe I'll select also this one.

132
00:07:59,730 --> 00:08:05,850
I command you to do the selection of the plus and maybe this guy.

133
00:08:06,790 --> 00:08:13,030
And this guy and then use the selection tool to match everything, all the selected.

134
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:18,430
And it is everything, it's about changing your artwork.

135
00:08:18,700 --> 00:08:22,920
Now let's play a game which I love very much so we can exit.

136
00:08:22,930 --> 00:08:32,090
Now I'm going to direct all of them and go to the color game in Ghasem Incontrol, plus actually put

137
00:08:32,110 --> 00:08:35,520
two of them at the same time and go to a recolour.

138
00:08:36,100 --> 00:08:38,380
And that's the number of colors that are here.

139
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:39,520
Pretty impressive, right?

140
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:44,530
And let's change from nine to corporate colors, for example.

141
00:08:44,530 --> 00:08:46,700
No color properties and take the cool.

142
00:08:47,290 --> 00:08:49,050
And this is pretty cool.

143
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:57,310
I see the same here and select here, all of them and go red color and also select the same one that

144
00:08:57,310 --> 00:08:59,590
is color properties and cool take.

145
00:08:59,590 --> 00:09:02,740
The first choice is not the first choice, but I think it is.

146
00:09:03,830 --> 00:09:08,260
Yes, it's the first choice here, not is the difference, what's your art, what's your style, what

147
00:09:08,270 --> 00:09:09,110
you want to create?

148
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:10,590
How do you want to play with it?

149
00:09:10,610 --> 00:09:11,660
How do you want to.

150
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,030
Try something else.

151
00:09:15,560 --> 00:09:21,680
Going to make a copy of this, that's one single group I'm going to make a copy over here.

152
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:29,390
Just put it like this and recolour, and now I'm going to take something very interesting.

153
00:09:29,780 --> 00:09:31,010
I hope so.

154
00:09:31,310 --> 00:09:34,380
Which is where all the good stuff.

155
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,890
Yes, well, that's fantastic.

156
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:42,080
I can assure you, if you change this one, you will not get a very good one going to select again and

157
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:42,860
duplicate it.

158
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:48,270
And from kids stuff I'm going to recolor go back to kids stuff.

159
00:09:49,340 --> 00:09:50,510
And change.

160
00:09:51,730 --> 00:09:53,290
Now it's changing, very nice.

161
00:09:54,650 --> 00:09:57,180
Somehow nice, that's very nice.

162
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:58,530
That's even nicer.

163
00:09:59,690 --> 00:10:04,580
This is pretty cool, guys, actually, similar to this guy is go for the saturation or.

164
00:10:05,910 --> 00:10:07,650
And then she's more.

165
00:10:08,690 --> 00:10:09,330
Very nice.

166
00:10:09,710 --> 00:10:11,000
That's a very nice outlook.

167
00:10:11,700 --> 00:10:19,530
And now you have something awesome that you can work with and really blossom your creativity.

168
00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:20,300
I hope so.

169
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,710
This to images and to play with them.

170
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,790
I admit I have taken a very difficult example here.

171
00:10:26,790 --> 00:10:32,300
You know, this dog was a lot of refined things, but they end up to be quite cool on the other side.

172
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,440
And you can now add it is removed.

173
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:34,890
It is.

174
00:10:35,190 --> 00:10:36,530
And to your water.

175
00:10:36,870 --> 00:10:39,200
And, you know, creativity is very important.
