Vector Magic Tutorial
1/8
Vector Magic is a new Photoshop plugin that makes it easy to create complex shading images using Photoshop’s built-in features. It replaces complex edits such as radial gradients or mask layers. However, Vector Magic can also be used to easily retouch single images or multiple images in the same scene, all thanks to the snap-to-grid feature. Vector Magic allows you to align and modify virtually any element in an image, including complex ones such as polygons, clipping planes, text, and normal map data.
Vector Magic Scourgebreaker is a demonstration of the possibilities of this new software. It takes an ordinary image (your own) and turns it into a highly detailed, layered, bespoke image. Just choose the format you want and download the vector desktop version. You can stretch, flip, skew and scale, as well as perform all kinds of editing, including converting a black and white image to sepia or vice versa. And if you’re still not sure what you want to do with y our image, you can simply crop, resize, or reshape the object.
Vector Magic is available both as a free plugin and as a free software product. The free version works great with Windows operating systems, but the plugin is best for those using Windows, OS X, or Linux. After installing the plugin, open the “Vector Magic” dialog box by clicking the “Pryor Tool” icon located in the lower right corner of the screen. You can also access the “Vector Magic” help file by clicking the “Help” button. This software is only compatible with Windows, not OS X, so if your OS X doesn’t support vector graphics, don’t worry – the website will still work just fine.
