    Hello all...

    I just used John after getting his email from this thread. He charged me $2.00 for the reindeer logo that I had asked for help with before. The picture is in the examples that Vicki showed in her post. For $2 it was worth it!

    I ran into a lot of this when I had a photo lab. We were billing retouching time at
    $65/hr and thinking of raising that to $80. Bought a $20k digital printer and then
    another one, just to keep up. Then the lab up the street started pumping out
    retouching at what amounted to about $5/hr. They were outsourcing their work
    to firms in India, where they had pools of retouchers. No way I could compete with that,
    If I tried, I'd have to close the doors or look for 'free' employees.

    Come to think of it, we did close the doors.

    John Moses does good work for a reasonable price...I offered him a opportunity to branch out and do some work for several people.. Good opportunity to a bunch of people.

    Ya know...... Maybe it should have been suggested he become a "Friend of SMC" we could use memebrs such as this that
    have a viable service to sell, plus it markets it for himself. Not a bad deal for $50.....

    I thought about that... But he is so cheap and does such a good job. Turn around time is less than 12 hours. The Art Work looks like it was redrawn from scratch. Flawless.
    I am going to give a Example of something he did for me... For a Casino In Deadwood... IF u talk to John Say Anderson Sent u...

    He did these with a turn around of 12 hours...... U can give him a image that u drew up on paper. It will come out looking like a Master Corel Line Drawing/Black White/Vector Piece/Shades of Grey.....


    He does good work... A member of sawmill Possibly. I was almost thinking of keeping the guy for myself. I would hate for his time of turnover to be taken down..



    The Black and White Drawing Turned up Flawless on glass. It was actually amazing.No matter how many filter's and adjusting i did. I could not get the same results.
    I would pay good money to learn at the same school he did..

    Inkscape produced this with some minor manipulations. Had to trace it at two thresholds and then combine the results to get the detail.

    Just takes time and a bit of know how. The biggest thing is to go and find a better source. The image you posted as a source was not good enough. Google found me a better source which made the tracing produce much higher quality work.

    I've said it many times over the years... Inkscape has given me the best tracings overall, and it's free to boot.
