Well if I wanted to transfer this to a graphic in photoshop or something, I would load this image into photoshop. I would then use the pen tool and change it's mode to path and once I have the path looking good I would go to the paths tab and stroke it from the right click menu. I'll put together a short little video clip of what I'm talking about, hold on. /smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Do you have Illustrator? Im unsure about v9, but if you have Illustrator CS2, the live trace option should work nicely, maybe Im not sure if the image lines are defined enough, but ya.

the funny this is goona tha the head i dont know if is is going to come out as a circle i really want it to do so but i will just try

Josh · Post by **Josh** » Mon Jul 03, 2006 8:13 am

Try using the circular marquee tool in photoshop. Hold SHIFT, click and drag to make a perfect circle the size of the head. Position it over where the head is and then right click the selection and go to "Stroke". /smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> Hope this helps.

Josh · Post by **Josh** » Mon Jul 03, 2006 12:36 pm

I'm sorry, but I can't. I have other things to do which won't allow me to do this for you. Just keep trying though, you can't get any better if you just give up.

well i hope photoshop starts back working because i really have to complete this soon

Josh · Post by **Josh** » Mon Jul 03, 2006 6:06 pm

My internet is whacko...and I can barely do anything (It took 10 minutes for me to try and get this stupid image to upload.) So I did it since there was nothing else to do. Have fun with it. I would appreciate it if you would like to killagraphix.com and give credits to us for doing this for you, thanks.

for some reason it still has a white background

Josh · Post by **Josh** » Mon Jul 03, 2006 9:23 pm

It's a PNG file. Right click > Save image as... > name it. > Open up in photoshop or something.

HK1 · Post by **HK1** » Mon Jul 03, 2006 10:08 pm

Josh · Post by **Josh** » Mon Jul 03, 2006 10:14 pm

It's the same exact thing though. lol. Forgot to mention, when you save it from the attachment, rename it from 'index.php' to 'whatever.png'
