can any one get me a high Resolution of this pic?
>> Anonymous
Source for that?
>> Anonymous
couldn't you vector that really easy ?
>> Megadeus
The original is a vector. Vectoring a vector? That's like dividing by zero or crossing the streams... It would create a paradox of monumental proportions and just be plain awkward.

This is called Minimalistic Black and White.
Source is here: http://knives-banime.deviantart.com/

It's a jpg. It's not vector. You have a lot to learn.
>> Megadeus
I know exactly what I'm talking about. I'm an artist with a page on deviantART, myself. Technically speaking, it WAS a vector that was then saved to a raster format. However, in layman's terms, such rasterized images are usually still referred to as vectors or vectored images.

Unless you somehow know everything, everyone has a lot to learn, but I happen to know more on the subject than you give me credit for.

Actually, you're all stupid for referring to large bitmaps as vectors.
>> Rizzen
Owning an account on deviant art doesn't make you an expert.
Basically unless it is the vector file, it isn't a vectored image, since the output is made out of pixels instead of mathematical theorems.

it is a vectored image, its just not a 'vector' image

k?

okay on the subject of vectors,
png file can't hold vectors can they.
>> Anonymous
>>118848
PNG is pure bitmap format so no, there is no provision to save vector objects into it.
>> Anonymous
PNGs don't hold it, but I'm pretty sure they're the best of the 'compressed' formats.
>> Anonymous
can adobe's ai format hold one or is that
raster.
>> Anonymous
Adobe .ai, Corel Draw, ect can have vector (line art) without having to be rasterised into a bitmapped image. I've done Print Media for over 15 years. The original may have been Vectored, but once you rasterise it , it is no longer.

Cheers.

You know guys, resizing this image doesn't hurt it at all. Why? since source IS a vector/ed/whatever/-image. Durr.

Wrong.

Yes you are. Image quality on mine and OP's is as good as equal. Making it even bigger, however, would probably ruin it in the end.

Ah so ai is a vector format. thanks.

And I belive that vector images use a math algorithm to draw and resize the image.
Bitmaps do not as the piture is one large file
not a group of points and lines and why they are
larger.

I can't believe this argument happened, here of all places. In /hr/, people will understand what is meant when the term vector is used.

This just proves anyone can be a twit newb who should lurk more, even those with DeviantArt accounts or 15 years in print media.
>> Megadeus
I knew that statement would be misconstrued. After all, anyone who has ever browsed long enough deviantART knows that having an account there is no indicator of quality. Indeed, anyone with an email address can regester an account there and having one doesn't make one an artist. However, that does not stop ligitimate artists from having accounts there as well. My statement about having a deviantART account was in support of my claim of being an artist, not as proof of my credentials. Furthermore, I never claimed to be an expert. However, I maintain that one need not be a Leonardo da Vinci to be artistically competent.

I am fully aware of the differences between raster and vector formats. When I called it a vector I was referring more to the process than the result - and because it was less awkward than calling it "a bitmap image rasterized from a vector." I'm hardly the only one; take a look through something like MiniTokyo's vector art gallery and you will find plenty of JPG and PNG files but not a single AI, SWF, or SVG.

The fact is, the picture is a jpeg. You could convert it to a VECTOR format easy and scale it to any size you want, then re resterize it! because the pictue is SO simple you wouldnt lose anything!

Proper PNG can't, but Macromedia Fireworks uses a bastardised version which can, so you might find those floating around occasionally.

>>118924
Quite right. Vectoring the rasterisation of a vector is much easier than vectoring a normal raster. Still a pain in the arse though.

Contradicted yourself there.

>I am fully aware of the differences between raster and vector formats. When I called it a vector I was referring more to the process than the result

...Why? Why does it matter? We need to vectorize it to get a higher quality image - whether it was originally a vector, photograph, MSpaint bmp, whatever. It's still a jpg in the end, and with images, the result is more important than the process.

I would browse DeviantArt more, but you gotta click thru about 20 pages just to see one fullsize pic.

Nice post here tho. it reminds me of Nagel.

Goddamn fucking retards dont know about vectors...
>> Megadeus
>Contradicted yourself there.
How so? As I said, anyone can do it. I merely gave my motivations for doing so. In my case, being an artist was the cause, not the perceived effect.

>...Why? Why does it matter? We need to vectorize it to get a higher quality image - whether it was originally a vector, photograph, MSpaint bmp, whatever. It's still a jpg in the end, and with images, the result is more important than the process.
And the result of a vector usually looks like a vector. It may not technically be a vector anymore but it still looks like; one and if it was made like a vector and looks like a vector, it shouldn't be surprising that many will still refer to it as a vector. Which is why if I had meant vector in the strictest sense in my first post I would have something more descriptive, such as scalable vector, but I used vector in the general sense because it was not mean to be a serious post.

>I would browse DeviantArt more, but you gotta click thru about 20 pages just to see one fullsize pic.
Actually, more like 2; thumbnail > preview > full-view. If you're registered and logged in there is an option in your setting to load full-view images by default, making it work pretty much just like any other gallery type system.

Protip: ask the original artist for the vector form or if he/she has a high-res version or would mind creating one for you out of the original vector. It would require considerably less work than re-vectoring this one.

I understand that you intend to make yourself seem smarter by twisting your original words to make a new meaning, but honestly, it's a waste of time. You said something stupid, you got called on it, quit defending yourself. Play your word games elsewhere.

leave Megadeus alone, he's justified his point and you guys just keep looking for the smallest holes in his arguments to jump on him.
Quit the beligerent posting and resume enjoying what /hr/ has to offer.
