LogoSpruce Highlights
 |
Need to quickly digitize a faxed
or scanned logo? Auto-traced images often require hours of painstaking
editing to achieve the correct form. Instead of wasting valuable
time editing, re-illustrate it quickly and easily using LogoSpruce.
For an example, we traced our logo
with Illustrator's Trace command, and then again, manually, with
LogoSpruce. As you can see, no edits are necessary. Perfect for
vinyl cutting, large format printing, or anywhere else you need
an easily re-sizeable, accurate logo.

Using the Tangent Arc tool, we easily
drew a smooth intersection, like the picture on the right: no bumps,
and no need to waste time playing with handles. Like the name suggests,
the Tangent Arc tool always draws arcs tangent to the path drawn
immediatly before; just click and drag!
LogoSpruce also includes a "Tangent
Beizer tool" so you can quickly draw organic curves in the
same way -- with smooth intersections and precise transitions. Great
for tracing images, or drawing spectacular shapes.

Rotate a one-touch guide, to any
angle.

LogoSpruce also includes
5 types of One-Touch guide tools: using them, place guides anywhere
with a single click. Since each of the guides can be easily rotated
before placing (just press Alt and drag), lining up a guide with
an odd angled image is easy as pie.
After rotating a guide,
you can quickly copy it with the one-touch guide tool. Making grids
at odd angles is a snap!

You've drawn your artwork,
are nearly ready to print, when inspiration strikes: Delete these
sections, add a few more strokes here and finished.
Here's where LogoSpruce's
trim tool really shines. Click a section of a path, and delete to
the nearest intersection. Move the mouse and repeat. What's more,
trimmed paths that meet at a corner are automatically joined to
create a single path, speeding your editing.
