Well i have tried the pen tool and it mad the lines just as jaggy if not worse then the original.Unless i am just doing something wrong.Maybe cause when i retrace it i use the stoke path?

Thanks




Second >>> please reduce the data size of your sig; for general guidelines http://forum.teamphotoshop.com/showthread.php?t=3 -- for practical, a sig of 20-25K is reasonable, yours at 235K is a titan.

We try to be kind to our dial-up members (all 2 of them) ;)

I'm not sure what you mean by just as jaggy. Here is a quick trace over part of your logo to show the difference >>> PSI's logo-- don't worry about using stroke paths unless you need to use it for something else. Just leave it as a shape layer.

::edit:: silly me. I wasn't thinking about needing the thin outline. Of course you'll use stroke, but you should still get clean results. Updated image. The best way to do vector art like logos is in Illustrator, then you can just switch between stroke and fill vectors.

Well thanks for showing me, i dont have illustrator, and this is making me pull my hair out, every way i try in photoshop the lines still look like there hand drawn,sloppy and crooked. The masking and all that is new to me,paths and stuff is over my head.:(

I never learned pen tool in PS... I learned it when I first started learning Illustrator, and then brought it back to PS. It's powerful and important to learn. Take the time to learn it now--you won't regret it later.

I could do it for ya, but that's obviously not what you want. Here's some more tutorials >>>
