Once you have your halftone the way you want it, go to File > Export as EPS… and save your file. You can even apply effects to the grid itself. You can even invert the image itself, or choose to make the halftone only hit a specific color. You can change things like the shape of the dot, spacing, rotation, grid size, minimum and maximum dot size, and much more, in real-time. Now all you have to do is start playing with the settings to get your desired effect. I like to take the slider at the bottom all the way to the right, so all I see is the halftone, not the image, but do what you like. Now that you have your image loaded, Vectoraster will automatically display a halftone over the top of your image with the default settings. Or you can click on “Browse” in the upper right. Once you have the interface in front of you, drag your raster image to the “image well,” not the blank window. You have to go to File > New, or hit Command + N to bring up the interface. Now with Vectoraster open, you won't see any windows at first.

Let's take it for a test run…ĭ ownload and install Vectoraster and lets dive in.Īfter you install it, if you're not sure if you want to purchase it yet, just close the registration box. The software waits to process anything until you export the file. This means that as you drag the sliders and adjust the settings, you don't have to wait for a preview, or publish the file multiple times to see what you get. First of all, and probably most importantly, Vectoraster lets you see your adjustments in real-time.

Unfortunately, Vectoraster is only available for Mac and has a $15 price tag, but it's well worth the cost once you see the features its packed with. (PC users skip to #2) Lets start with the best of the 3, Vectoraster by Lost Minds. Grab a random image from your archive, and let's get to it.įirst things first, the image I'm using in these examples is a CC liscensed portrait by *Zara over at Flickr. I'm going to show you 3 different ways to create vector halftones from raster images, 2 of which are free, and the 3rd is only $15. How can you make vector halftones from raster images? Well, our friends at Adobe haven't seen the need to throw us a bone in this situation yet, but there are some brave souls out there taking on the challenge themselves, and answering the call. Vectoraster has not been rated by our users yet.This is by far the most-emailed question I get here at BittBox. Vectoraster runs on the following operating systems: Mac. It was initially added to our database on. The latest version of Vectoraster is 8.4.5, released on. Vectoraster is a Shareware software in the category Graphics Applications developed by Lost Minds.

#VECTORASTER FOR WINDOWS MOVIE#

Batch processing to apply rasters directly to all images in a directory or to frames in a quicktime movie file. Bitmap image export to JPEG, PNG and TIFF. Copy raster curves straight into most other vector graphics software. Easily rotate and offset the raster pattern. Four raster distortion modes to twist, bulge, wave or split the raster pattern.

Six configurable raster pattern types, including alternating grid, radial and varied density distribution. Vary different parameters such as size, point aspect or shape contraction with the point weight to get different effects.Patterns Set raster point color or use color from the primary or secondary source image. Outline mode, where points are outlined, and you have to option to vary the point outline with point weight. Use characters as point shapes from any installed font, using a specified text to select the characters. Many different point shape types, from circles to polygons or custom shapes from imported EPS-files. With the batch processing tool you can also easily apply rasters to frames in a movie to use the effects in animation.

The resulting rasters can then either be exported as vectors to EPS or PDF files, as images to JPEG, PNG, or TIFF, or simply copied into most graphics software. The raster patterns and point shapes can be freely configured to produce different styles. Vectoraster is a graphics utility for creating vector-based raster patterns and halftones based on bitmap images.
