Does your raster image have multiple colors? Try this way to vectorize your image in Photoshop! ua-cam.com/video/6LmvvO69sGg/v-deo.htmlsi=c3AHDXiRobALU8ZH

[@Szmaglord]

For more complex images (with more colors):
Group and Merge as much things as you can to reduce number of layers. Then, for each layer repeat Clammmy's scenario (select image from layers section with Ctrl > Make work path (Marquee Tool) > Direct selection tool > create vector mask). After these operations, you should have few layers linked corresponding work path/vector. Now just save as .ESP and that should be it. Colored vectorized image.
Thank you Clammmy Creations for this tutorial, you saved me many hours!

[@BrianKismetDesign]

Thank you. Short and sweet, right to the point - the fact that this was a 2 minute tutorial is what makes this video awesome.

[@kelseyn5508]

Good sir:
I have been searching for a simple explanation of this for quite some time and everything was pointing to a long way that you have to do in illustrator. This video inspired me to actually sign into youtube just to leave this comment and like your video. I cannot thank you enough for such a helpful, straight to the point video. Absolutely wonderful. 10/10

[@ritblock]

THANK YOU!!! At last I found a short effective way to do this, saved my day! And you explain and talk about exactly what your headline told us!

[@RonMarshallrone]

A serious thank you. I've been using ps for 20 years and never thought of doing it this way. This will make image to vector for the CNC much easier.

[@MindIslandDesign]

Happy to help!

Your video is very helpful for people who are struggling to remove pixels, little did they know, it just takes a few right-clicking and left-clicking to remove those pixels.

[@shonokin]

It's rare I comment on stuff but yes, thank you. I've looked at all sorts of tutorials online and this is the first conversion that a ) made sense b ) worked successfully. So thanks!

Thank you for this video, nice refresher I needed for doing this

[@enru8126]

Its very good! Working! Thanks

[@studiovulcan4411]

This isn't going to work for a lot of raster images. This one works because the twitch logo used is clean, and high-res. Take something designed at the resolution needed, with edges not created with the path tool (as this logo was) and watch how the path tool goes mental. I wish it was coded to better understand the image, but in our experience, work pathing hasn't been very viable, sadly.

[@Iceteethbear]

I know this comment was from 3 years ago, but do you think this would work better with images with higher dimensions on google. For example, would an image with the dimensions of 2000 x 2000 work better on this program than say an image with the dimension 250 x 250??

[@studiovulcan4411]

@@Iceteethbear I absolutely think something with more resolution would have a better result. More data for curves and parts of the image with unique shapes.

[@Iceteethbear]

@@studiovulcan4411 Sorry to ask again, but do you know what program the guy in the video uses? If this costs money, could you help me find one that's free.

[@studiovulcan4411]

@@Iceteethbear That's Photoshop.
