Dear PSC-friends! Does anybody of you know, how I can bring a path from Gimp to Adobe Illustrator (CS2)? I am afraid, I've tried everything already...
Thanks, y.p.

Did you try saving the path to a separate file (not a GIMP format either) and then importing that file into Illustrator?

What are the exported file types from gimp?

anything usefull like .eps or something?

If copy ad paste doesn't work and this doesnt work, I'm not sure.

Why didnt you just make the paths in illustrator?

thats such a weird type, that only exists in gimp, and I need it for a clients-logo in illustrator for plotting stickers for his van... copy paste just gives a black square, and all other formats dont work either...

According to the GIMP documentation I'm reading, you can export GIMP paths to SVG format, which you can place in AI

http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-path-dialog.html (look at the bottom of the page)

Option #2 (if it's only one-color or small number of colors) scale the path to make the GIMP graphic large without losing quality, save the large file and use the built-in tracing tool in AI CS2. Or Photoshop, make selection, make path from selection, export path. The larger the graphic, the better the outline.

Can you post an image of your project?

yeah vok's on the money

export as an svg, import into illustrator and autotrace it using the correct tracing options

or you can post the image here and i can do it if you have an old version

HURRRAAAAAYYY - I've got it! Thank you very much. I exported the path in gimp as SVG, then I had to change the filename to ".svg" in the browser, otherwise Illustrator just imported some code as a text-file. After renaming the file the path can be placed in Illustrator properly!
