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!

[@andrewgunter1947]

Just wow dude. How did you even begin to figure this out? Twenty plus years working with PS and AI and you just blew my mind.

[@Navigator777777]

I agree. Illustrator is my money maker. Photoshop is just a needed tool. I'm always bitching to Adobe to combine Illustrator and Photoshop into one program to do exactly this.

[@wasab1tch]

@@Navigator777777 the problem is PS is produces rasterized graphics while AI produces vector graphics. They are separate tool for a reason and has always been better this way

[@7312james]

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!!

[@TomFroese]

Thanks! This is different from my skillshare classes but uses similar techniques. The difference is that the goal is vector output in this video.

[@randomuniicornn]

I am incredibly grateful for this tutorial, the last few months I have worked on my works with photoshop and fresco, which allows me to have my lines vectorized and with a very good resolution, however I have older art that is great and I want to use it for merchandise and I have been looking for a long time for something that would help me vectorize without having to do them from the beginning again, the image tracing of course did not help me at all, since I lost a lot of details and it was frustrating since my works in general contain many details, this has been the tutorial that definitely gave me a solution, I have tried it and it was simply incredible and the details are still there, I am very grateful! 🦄

[@TomFroese]

Excellent!

[@TheDocPixel]

This technique is about 20 years old. Nice to see someone going through the old magazines and making tutorials about some of those "Oldies but Goodies". FYI: I think Deke McClelland was the first to do this. His Mad Scientist experiments were always great and still are.

[@eartho]

more like 25 years old and Deke definitely wasn't the first.

[@yeknommonkey]

@@earthoit was in the ye olde instruction manual that shipped with p shop

[@TheDocPixel]

@@eartho you‘re right. Time sure does fly. Because I remember it was in the handbook too.. remember the days when we read the handbooks?! It was the only way to learn the software, and maybe an article in How or Macworld magazine.

[@KuttyJoe]

@@yeknommonkey Is that right??? This was actually in a Photoshop instruction manual? It's interesting because it says something about how Adobe thought people were using the software in those days.

[@TomFroese]

Well they did build that "selection to paths" function in there for some reason, right? They must have had this in mind.

[@artbygarth]

This is a fantastic approach! I’ve been struggling with this for years!!

[@eartho]

it's a technique we've been using since the 90s...

[@TomFroese]

@@eartho That actually makes sense. LiveTrace came in the 2010s, and I remember using clipping paths Photoshop 4 or something around that version. I didn't know it was that easy to convert selections to paths in the 90s though. My earliest experience using PS was on a monochrome Mac with maybe the original PS on it.

[@eartho]

@@TomFroese yeah, Selection to Paths has been around since some of the earliest versions of Ps. I remember using it frequently in my prepress days iin the early to mid 90s.

[@michaelmccrory2220]

@@eartho @eartho We never stop learning and it is good that Tom has taken the effort to remind and tell people who have never seen this technique that this is an option.

[@ventiladordesuco]

This is a great technique, I would say that I've seen it before but your explanation is easier to follow. However, as a screen printer myself, I couldn't see why your print shop would ask for a vector even though your Image is 600 dpi and bigger than the final print. As far as I know, that is more than enough to print your shirt, furthermore, the printing process is already lossy, so giving them a lower fidelity artwork sound counterintuitive. Vector artwork is mandatory for stationary print, but the mesh on the screen is also finer than on meshes for garment. In the end, you're saying that the 600dpi (possibly more since you said your artwork is larger than the final print) is not enough for your print shop, that uses a process that is inheritable lossy (we are talking about max 200tpi - threads per inch) and is physically impossible to produce a higher fidelity final print. I think they might prefer a vector, but they're perfectly capable of dealing with 600dpi bitmaps.

[@TomFroese]

Thank you! Two points here: first, I agree, vectors are totally unnecessary. I work with letterpress and silkscreen often and prefer to send colour separations as bitmap files. But I have found there’s no convincing some suppliers about this, and they will refuse to accept anything but vector. Second, the 600dpi in my file is more about having enough resolution for the smallest details in my artwork to come through in the vector, less about retaining fidelity in the final print. But it would be interesting to compare output of 300dpi and 600dpi versions with this process.

[@reevartang564]

@@TomFroese The only reason for the supplier to refuse (that I can think of) - file size on vector files should be lighter in general.

[@keithartworker]

Great video! Having worked in Photoshop and Illustrator for 30 years, I have preferred Photoshop's "simple afterthought" path tools to Illustrator's dedicated ones. This tutorial is further evidence.

Brilliant technique. Now we just have to figure out how to get this working for multi-color w/o having to get too deep into the weeds of seps...

[@TomFroese]

The holy grail

[@adamrosenthal7574]

Selecting the path and adding a solid color layer creates a masked shape. Do this for each color layer. Save as psd and open in illustrator, retaining layers. You will have all your colors saved in separate layers in illustrator.

[@TomFroese]

You can actually do the exclude paths operation directly in PS. If you create a fill layer using the path in PS you should be able to see the result there. I’ve heard good things about Krita if you’re looking for a free vector based graphics app.

[@envadd.6556]

Amazing how tools we all know can do a lot more then we are aware of

[@ryanrockers]

Cool, good tip. Select to path for the win

[@TomFroese]

That's the idea in a nutshell!

[@PaulMDavidson]

I've never gotten good results with "create path from selection" in Photoshop. Maybe my resolutions were too low.

[@TomFroese]

Could be your resolution, or could be that there are gradients and blurs which can never be translated to single colour vector art. Hint: try using halftones or dithering after doing the threshold part, to simulate a gradient.

[@simplesime1]

What tolerance setting do you recommend when creating path in photoshop ?? You neglected to mention that step

[@TomFroese]

I’ve never had to make this decision. Where would that step be necessary?

[@SSHK237]

*This is brilliant!* Thanx. Actually I was under the impression that the lesser the anchor points in any Illustrator file. This way the artwork is filled with thousands of anchor points. Can we apply the *Object* ... *Paths* ... *Simplify* to lessen the anchor points?

[@TomFroese]

Not a bad idea to experiment with this but it may be an unnecessary extra step.

[@crristox]

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.

[@TomFroese]

You have to start with a high resolution image, and then you also need to forgive the pixel/stepping look. The purpose here is not to have perfectly clean vectors, but vectors that work and maintain miniscule details, like the knock out numbers/letters inside the trails in my shirt example. It's a real world example with splendid results. Follow the video carefully to achieve similar success!

[@jmikekeith]

Is this method possible in Affinity Photo? I have followed along as best I can to the point where you are in the channels panel, but it doesn’t seem to function the same way as Photoshop. I can’t figure out how to create a new channel, paste the selection, invert, and select just the white portion.

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.

[@TomFroese]

Yes! Once you’ve scanned your art into Photoshop you can follow these directions exactly. The catch is that your drawing should already be vectorizable in the first place. This won’t work if you have any shades of grey. It can only be black or white.

[@veerababu9933]

Thank you for sharing the technique

[@JoeDiril]

Great technique. I’m curious though, if you used image trace and then selected “high fidelity photo” wouldn’t that retain all the details you’re talking about? I realize it would probably give you a million shades of diff colors, but I imagine if you’re working with a solid color design it wouldn’t be difficult to then just make it all white or all black. Again, I’m asking from curiosity not judgement 😅

[@TomFroese]

No it isn’t as clean as my method in my experience.

[@TomFroese]

The issue was that Image Trace doesn't carefully vectorize smaller details without m making the bigger ones a bit too chunky. My technique is more precise and you have more control over what gets vectorized. I also have this video now about how to vectorize colour art - and it's the same issue. Image Trace doesn't always create the right input. You end up having to go in and make a lot of edits anyway. You could try this technique: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJq3nHSDibSnfZo
