Graphic Artists!!! Help!!!

[VonMessa]

I have a jpeg image that I need to turn into a vector image for something I am sending to to be engraved.

I thought saving the image as an EPS file was enough, but unfortunately not.

It is a one-of-a-kind image and I cannot purchase it as a vector image (for the engraving machine.

If any of you super-duper artist types can help me out, I would be indebted and grateful beyond words as I need it ASAP (last minute complications)

If anyone can do this, let me know, and I'll send the file.

What exactly does the engraver need? A film positive or a film negative? Call him and find out what he needs, then do a Google for Negs For Less. A 10x12 in. film will cost you less than ten bucks, but back in the old days you needed a film positive to make the engraving dies. It's probably all different now.

Von haven't tried it myself but have you checked out Wintopo (freeware) to convert it to a dxf file?

I replied, gonna start on it right now.

I actually used that when I made the knife drawing.  I drew it freehand and then used wintopo to put it into autocad where I cleaned it up.

Was actually just thinking about that.

Wintopo is decent. The laser guy can use the dxf file too.

Can't hurt trying to send what you have in AutoCAD to the engraver as an early-format *.dxf file type (typicaly you get into trouble using a newer program that uses a file format that is newer than what the engraver can use or load up, you can/should be able to use an older format when you specify it).  Sounds like you already got enough drafting monkeys on this Messy, and Nefarious is working up a vector image from scratch for ya, let me know if ya need another or anything else.

Awesome!

Thanks guys
