Celtic cross

[cooltinter]

Howdy folks, we're still learning about plotters and graphics and file types and clean and bad artwork etc... I have a small job to cut out which the client sent a JPG of a celtic cross. Seems like a lot of work to clean it up for our rookie artist. I have checked a couple of libraries and can't find this specific cross, any help would be muchly appreciated, Thanks

what a pain in the @$$!!! if you cant just dont do the job, it'll be much easier on you, the designer, and the guy that has to weed it out. im not sure if your making it big or small...small dont even think about it, and bigger you will be able to see every way point out of place and the whole design will look jagged. Celtic cross people are so damn picky to if a curve is of some it's supposed to mean something so it has to look just right. I did a 2 foot tall one once for a back glass, had to photocopy and then trace it with a light box, then scanned the trace and still ahd to clean up the image forever and it STILL looked like crapp when blown up to 2 feet tall unless you can find an eps already made of the exact one the customer wants charge up the @$$ or just dont bother.

It's no big deal... I was just wondering if someone on this site has a better version of it that's all. Thanks for the input. I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

Is Flexisign much better than Corel Trace?? I've only used it a couple of times, still havent figured it out yet!

Corel Trace sucks IMO. I always use a prgram called Total Vectorize.

Just downloaded it, and you're right, works great! Thanks for the advice!
