Question
Can i create this plugin using illustrator
Hey guys
i need to develop a very specific application, and was wondering can i achieve this using illustrator or any other adobe software out there.
My requirements are as follows.
1. Take any bitmap image eg. 500x500pixels @ 7x10 Dpi (note pixels are rectangular in shape)
2. Load into illustrator and vectorise using live trace
3. Increase size to anything eg 10x larger or 100x smaller eg from 500x500 to 5000x5000
4. Save the resulting image as a bitmap at required size eg 5000x5000px, still at 7x10dpi
the reason i have looked at this, is because the vectorisation will maintain image quality (better than rescaling a bitmap to the same size), i understand some detail may be lost during the vectorisation process but i am willing to accept this and retouch-up the image afterwords.
I was looking to develop a plugin for illustrator to achieve this. do you think it is feasable or can you think of another to achieve the same results.
All help will be appreciated.
