I’m working on a project where I’m using a line drawing of a vehicle – a simple icon, really – and I was given the licensed stock footage item. I converted it and ended up with a number of layers named “Path”.
So far, so good.
I can toggle them on and off in Acorn, but they don’t seem to actually be selectable paths. I need to scale it all up, but right now the '“paths” are stroked shapes that just get crunchy when I resized the them.
My question really boils down to: how can I scale up this file to get a crisp image when the paths aren’t really there…just the stroked, generated shape?
I’d be curious to know if resizing the whole image makes the paths look the same or better as scaling them with the shape handles.
I’m also curious about what these paths look like, and what you mean by “crunchy”. If possible, can you send the .acorn file to support@flyingmeat.com?
So it looks like whatever converted the EPS files didn’t keep them as vectors, instead they are saved as rasterized / bitmap images for each layer. That’s why it’s not scaling up - it’s because all the vector data was thrown out.
I was hoping that maybe you were able to convert the EPS to SVG paths, which Acorn can open up and keep as shape layers. Was this originally a PSD file maybe?
