I have been trying to save/export from omega to jpg, or any other common format. This is so that I can email picture/sample of work to the customer. I had to scale down the work in omega so that it would be a smaller file size. The image is alway terrible , very jagged, or the colors dont match, or some of the colors change and some don't. What do I do to output a jpg, or other format, from omega? I need smooth lines, not jaggies. Please help. Also in omega lets say you want to make a doughnut. You make a yellow circle and then a smaller yellow circle and place the smaller circle over the larger circle. Where the overlap is becomes see-thru. Works great for omega and the vinyl cutter. However if you try to save/export for illustrator , .ai or .eps, or .pdf,, the center is not cut out. The lines are there, but you cannot get the image the way it looks in omega. I tried to make a clip mask but the wrong part always disapears, no matter which part is selected first and no matter which shape is on top. This is most noticable if you bring text from omega into AI. The centers of the "D,O,A" , etc are filled. Any help would be appreciated.
Hello fellow signmaker :)
I have found that if you set up your Omega file for printing, not
cutting, then export to .ai, things will be colored in properly. Do you
have the manuals for Omega handy? Check out the sections for setting up
files to print on the edge, and that should help in setting up files to
export.
When you scale a file down to export to a .jpg, i've found that about
10" wide is a good size. you can also adjust the resolution when
exporting to jpg. that might help the jaggies.
I'm vary familier with Omega, and I'm learning the tricks of Photoshop
and Illustrator now that I'm doing more inkjet printing.
It's good to see a question on the newsgroups that I hopefully was
helpful with.
