Title: Need Illustrator help...as in I don't have Illustrator!
Post by: mcseforsale on April 20, 2015, 08:40:51 pm
I'm trying to copy the Space Paranoids control panel as used in ChanceKJs Flynn's build but all I have is a jpg format.  I own PS 5.1 but making an outline in PS sucks.  What I want is just the outline of the CP and the outlines of the controls in a PS-able format.  I've heard that it's much better using Illustrator for this.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
AJ

Have you seen the links Lamprey posted in this thread

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,137423.msg1417570.html#msg1417570 (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,137423.msg1417570.html#msg1417570)

It has a psd file of the CPO that should be useable for what you want ! ( Didn't download since it is 190MB but link appears to be live and it is a .psd file  :dunno

EDIT : HAd some time so downloaded and you're in luck it has a layout template in the zip that is only 18,000KB so pretty small -- To save you downloading the full 191MB file I went ahead and uploaded the template to dropbox and here is the link -- https://www.dropbox.com/s/6ol80svx9g3f2jy/layout_template_final.psd?dl=0 (https://www.dropbox.com/s/6ol80svx9g3f2jy/layout_template_final.psd?dl=0)

IF you need some of the artwork also then download the zip lamprey linked but since you say you just want the template figured much better to upload just it for you.
