Clean up graphics

Do you scan, trace and edit logos? Then you know that it is boring, time consuming and expensive. It can even take several hours if the original graphics aren't good. When you get a logo on a piece of paper or download the graphics from the Internet it can take forever before you have any decent graphics and there is no way that you are going to get paid for all the effort you have put into the logo.

 

Graphics Renovator turns the scanned or imported graphics into vectors. This is called auto-tracing and creates objects consisting of lines and curves. If the original image has high resolution you can probably use the traced image right away. But lets face it, how often do you get perfect originals. And even if the objects look good, small flaws and winding curves appear all too clearly when you enlarge the image.

The only way to fix the graphics is to restore the parts in the logo to the original shapes. Graphics Renovator has a set of tools which are developed to do this. First of all the FontEye™ tool can identify the font in texts and then replace the traced objects with the actual font. The result can't become any better.

Secondly there is a set of tools which can replace almost any common shape with just a click. Squares, circles, ellipses, triangles and rectangles become perfect and even rotated shapes are recognized. Another nice little function is that you can make repeated shapes identical. If you for example have a bunch of stars in a logo which all have the same shape but have different sizes and are rotated differently, you can node edit one of the stars so that it looks good and then click the others to transfer the shape. Graphics Renovator makes sure that they still keep the correct size and rotation.

 

An issue that usually creates a problem in logos and other graphics is outline effects. When you vectorize a text with an outline, it usually does not look good when you take a closer look at it. And when you replace the text with the correct font using the FontEye™ tool, the contour effect will look as if it was hand made. In Graphics Renovator you can recalculate the outline by selecting the text and then clicking the Show outline button. The software automatically calculates the distance for the outline and when you click apply the traced contour is replaced with a perfectly calculated outline.

Some shapes can't be restored to their original shape because they are hand drawn or come from some clip art graphics. If there are any flaws in these objects you most probably can fix them with the clean-up tool in Graphics Renovator.
