Hey, Jeff: I've never done an svg, but I did what micko suggested...tell me what you think/if I got it right. I resized the png, sharpened and contrasted it to what I liked, opened it in inkscapelite and saved to an svg then zipped it 'cause the forum doesn't do svg's.planegoofy wrote:Thanks Steve,
I will work on resizing it then at some point soon. I still need to get the sticker paper so its not a priority. I was hoping you still had the original because it looks rather "Authehtic Windows"!!! I will post my versionwhen I get it done later on. Thanks for the reply Micko and Steve.

Steves, Micko
I tried the svg file that you posted but it couldn't find the image file that you imported to inkscape. So.... I did it the hard way. I recreated the sticker from scratch in inkscape. I had to find a different background but it is close. I exported it to png since it has an attached bitmap that may disapear if i post the svg file. Is there any way to embed the image in the svg file?
Well let me know what you think.

@steve_s
I'm mighty impressed with your PID looking sticker. That gives me an idea on how to make puppy CD sets I'm making for people around here looks "authentic" ...
I have a small request though. Will it be possible for you to make one without all the black text in the middle and the left side ? This allows me to print personalized texts with different fonts for each hardware. You know, short hardware specs so its easier to know whats inside. Another thing, a light-grey watermark puppy logo in the center will be great too ...
Well, just a thought ...

Re: Liscense Resize
Steve.. your prodkey svg is broken . First of all import the original into inklite, then resize in there, then save as plain svg, not compressed.steve_s wrote:Hey, Jeff: I've never done an svg, but I did what micko suggested...tell me what you think/if I got it right.

ecomoney: you could probably go to Kinko's or some copy place like that (I only know what we have around here) and they could hook you up; hadn't thought of that.
micko: that is exactly what I did. Oh, well.
planegoofy/Jeff: well done! I'm not redoing my svg since your's came out so well! Looks good to me!
Patriot: that is a tall order..man, I would have saved it in layers if I had known it would be so popular...I will see what I can do, but it would take opening up that one and just cleaning off the middle stuff. Give me a little while and I'll see what I can come up with...

Per Patriot's request, here is the product key sticker without the central text...
Patriot: give me more specifics of what you are after with the watermark, or you can now do it yourself. Gimp, open the image, add a new layer, put whatever you want on that layer, make it more or less opaque, etc.
Hopefully that will help others if they were looking for one to be able to customize their own text...

Patriot,
I just found on inkscapes website how to embed images and how to make them relative, so I will package up the svg file both with the keyboard image embedded and as a reference file. This should give a good template to work from. After you edit the file in inkscape, you can then export as a bitmap which will export the image to a png file.
Till later, enjoy.

My goodness ... that's really quick !
What you've done is already perfect. A big huge thank you, steve !
I'll just add the same puppy logo (the one at the lower right corner) as a light-grey watermark later. I was mighty impressed and still is ...
@planegoofy
I'll accept anything you can offer. This PID look sticker is now a-must-have for me and it's sure going to make people around here take notice.

Pretty please, could you give more details/explain that out further? I am always looking for easier, more efficient ways of editing pictures out...planegoofy wrote:Patriot,

SteveS,
When I get home from the office later tonight, I will post the svg files and a description of how I embedded the image. (I also want to make sure it works.)
Patriot,
I traced the puppy logo in inkscape and it should be easy to copy and add as a ghosted image to the sticker when I post the files.

Thanks! yeah, I was actually surprised as well. Just using gimp, click "o" to pick the color around it, then "a" to switch to airbrush, then back and fourth, picking and switching..came out pretty well.Patriot wrote:Hmmm ...

Also, for those puppy logos, I recomend checking the thread we got started called Puppy Wallpapers as I mention in that thread a couple other links with some of those logos of various colors there...just have to go through the thread.

SteveS, Patriot et al.,
Here are the svg files of the product key sticker I made based on steveS version. One has the keyboard image embedded and the other has the reference in the xml file changed from absolute to relative.
To embed the image, I opened the original file and just selected Effects -> Images -> Embed All Images and selected apply when the dialog box came up, then saved it. Appears to work fine on my computer so far.
To make the reference to the image relative was a little more work. First open the svg file in a text editor. It is just a plain text xml file (I used wscite on WinXP ) Then search for the name of the image you want to be relative. It should show up in a line similar to this:
Next remove the full path and replace it with ./ for both references:
and thats it. Save the file and make sure the image is located in the same directory as the svg file and it should be found no matter where you put both files as long as they stay together
Now for then test, Can you figure out which file has the embedded image in it?
Let me know if they work and if you have any other questions.
Jeff

If someone more connected with the puppy project would arrange to get these printed and merchandised via this page then Im sure they would go a long way to paying for a forum host without resorting to flash ads for doggie biccies!
