various diagrams vectorized in Corel
« on: September 21, 2005, 02:19:21 PM »
Ok, this is a bit offtopic..
I have been playing with Corel and trying to 'vectorize' or 'trace' manually some images from Amiga manuals. Its very boring task, so its not finished yet. But if you are interested, here are the results so far:

and the originals are here:

( a500_2000trm_1.zip  and    a500_2000trm_2.zip )

contact me if you feel sudden need to draw the rest of those pages in Corel..  :-)

and why not? most of scanned Amiga things (schematics, manuals..etc) are:

1) few, hard to find (compared to other computers)
2) low res -> hard to read
3) sooner or later you will need them badly

I just thought it will be useful to some. It is the future, and not JPG text scans  :pissed:
Of course best solution would be getting it in original form, assuming they used word processors in those days.
Did you mean djvu by easier, or what? please tell.. :-)

thanks for the tip, I'll try it; but I know it won't be nearly as good as hand drawn.. and it probably doesn't OCR text on picture.
