We're working on getting a crafter's license for Oklahoma State University, and are having trouble getting Pistol Pete to come out clean. I have taken the official black and white logo, made it into a jpg through vector magic, downloaded as a pattern, and tried everything I can think of. I want it to run like centerline text, creating an outline that looks just like the vector. Some of the lines are thicker than others, and I've tried trimming edges, manually erasing thicker areas, etc. It still makes double lines and such. Ideally I would like it to be like an icon or text, where it would be clean, scale perfectly, etc.Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! The black mustache and hair can be outlines as well to keep it simple. I've tried taking out his face wrinkles just to make it cleaner. I just can't get one clean line. . .it wants to keep making two passes. . . . .
In Corel I ran the contour edge effect of trace contour and then converted to vector graphic. I saved it as a dxf but I don't own the dxf add on but ran it in demo mode to see how it looks. There are a few gaps but since I don't use dxf files don't know if horrible.
Send me a pm with your email and I can email you the dxf if you want to play with it.
