Importing .ai,.eps .svg than Exporting to .PNG file on MAC

Postby TravyBoy123 » Mon Mar 07, 2016 12:47 am

I am having some trouble Importing .ai,.eps.svg than Exporting to .PNG file with Inkscape on a MAC

I downloaded 1 single vector file with a photo of 52 cards. I need to separate each card a save them individually. Whenever I try to export each card I end up with a document file and the image is blurry.

Can anyone help me with this?? Thanks

What kind of problem you have with importing, if you already have these 52 cards in Inkscape?

Photo can not be vector file.

What is "document file"?

Maybe you could upload the file(s) and describe your process in more detail, so we will more easily understand?

First, have you been able to open the vector file with Inkscape? It sounds like maybe you have. Good news!

Often when vector files are downloaded from the internet, we find that the entire contents have been Grouped. If that's the case, then some Ungrouping will be needed. How much? We can't say until we can see the file ourselves.

And there are several other reasons why you might be unable to select individual objects (cards). We will need to look at the file, to find out why, and to learn what you'll need to do, to be able to select individual cards.

So will you please provide the vector file for us? You can either attach it to a message, or upload it somewhere, and give us a link to it.

For all the other issues you mentioned, let's set them aside for the moment, and take it one step at a time. First, you need to be able to select the individual cards, and we'll need to see the vector file, to tell you how.

Sneaking right in there, Moini :D
