[Gimp-user] Saving/Exporting Paths in/to EPS
Hi Folks, I'm trying to use the GIMP for t-shirt graphics. I really want to use the GIMP because the other solutions (Adobe, Corel, etc) are expensive and don't run on Linux (I don't think...) Anyway, the company I'm using to make the shirts http://www.spreadshirt.com has these instructions: You have to convert your pixel graphic into curves. Finally, you must then export your file in .eps format so that it is compatible with our system. I believe I've done this by selecting all the lines in a BW PNG graphic, converting the lines to paths, stroking the paths and then saving the image as an EPS file. But when I uploaded the file, it was rejected with the following excuse: All elements of the image, including the text, must be in contours (in Corel Draw ) and/or paths (in Adobe Illustrator and Freehand). Any and all help greatly appreciated! MjM __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Then import the graphics you want to trace and use the tools of the program to follow the lines. Then export the file to eps and you should be fine. Gimp cannot easily do this, except when you use paths and do some weird converting around from an exported path, but you really, really want to use a different program for this.
