is this considered vectorized?

i would like to put a picture liek this of my father on a t-shirt. you know, some witty saying to make him blush. before i contact a tshirt company, i would like to know the most i can.

was it a basic photo of the guy from the cure and then turned into a vector image?

its possible, the artist could have just drawn him, its kinda hard to tell (atleast for me, i dont do a lot of vector).

maybe vectorized and then some filters put on the image like desaturate ?

I think someone just drew it. Thats a real shirt right? Odds are all you'd have to do is trace his face, and draw the lettering.

Yeah, it could be a vector, but it doesn't look like it too much because you can notice some rough edges in there on the hair. I've done this kind of stuff before and I only had to desaturate it and then up the contrast and mess with the brightness.

My guess is that it was done primarily using Threshold Levels.=satisfied

yes, but you can use treshold to preview/adjust your vectorization, that's what I did for my tut in Computer Arts... there is a powerful action that Mathias adapted (and enhanced them a lot) from my ideas: http://www.96ppi.net/ddt_vectorizer.zip

first of all, a vector is just something that has been created by mathematical formulas. in order for this to be vectorised, you have to make sure that the whole shape itself is sharp, that there's no stray pixels and so on. As someone said, there could be a few rough edges there, but as long as it's not very evident.. what some people do is that they Posterise the image (which is under Image>Adjustments), save it, and then use the trace tool in Macromedia Freehand.

meh.

aztecrose, it is possible to vectorize without streamline, illustrator, coreldraw or freehand... Photoshop is enough, see my post...

But for the original question, in this case, I think that the photo of Robert Smith has simply been tresholded...
