How to copy artwork from an Image in Illustrator

Many thanks. I need both programs then. thanks for a point in the right direction. cheers.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. There are two ways to accomplish this, first, you can trace this image using a Pen Tool in Illustrator. You can refer to this video tutorial on Image tracing using Pen Tool:

Second, you can try Image Trace however it may not give the exact results. For Image tracing you can refer to the below tutorial:

Because the gold lines are filagree, you will want to make this in Adobe Illustrator (vector art) so yu can resize it to any size desired.

1. Open your picture in Photoshop

2. Save picture as jpg.

3. Place and embed picture into an illustrator file.

4. Make a new layer and draw a circle (not oblong) the size of the oustide line of art (outer gold line).

5. Transform - Transform the art layer to make the art round (match the circle you just drew) - probably free transform but whatever. The idea is to make the oblong picture into a perfect circle.

6. Lock the picture.

6. Draw each element in illustrator as a stroke. (you can use multiple layers and a lot of copy and paste to organize the line art).

7. Once the line art is done, delete the placed pic behind the line art and save it as an Adobe Illustrator file (working file).

It's a complicated design so look for elements that you can step and repeat or copy and paste.
