thanks Frog,
the frightening part of that definition you provided is I actually get it. A couple of years ago I am not so sure I would have had a clue.
thanks

Screen, not sure if you are asking me or the gang. But for my part first what the hell is a power clip. Second this falls white on a black shirt, one color one spot. If you look at the art it is not very even or symmetrical in some spots and it will need some other fluff & stuff but that is about it. Power clips we don't need no stinkin' power clips ::)
Thanks for you energy

Screen seemed to be asking the question to Integrity, comparing notes on tchnique.
As for "what is a PowerClip"?:
PowerClip effect
A way of arranging objects that lets you contain one object inside another.

PowerClip object
An object created by placing objects (contents objects) inside other objects (container objects). If the contents object is larger than the container object, the contents object is automatically cropped. Only the contents that fit inside the container object are visible.


this... in Illustrator they are called Clipping Masks; like cutting a hole in a piece of paper and holding it in front of your face; you can only see what's "in the hole", everything else is still there, just obscured...

Sorry Mike, that was actually directed to Kingscreen who provided the Vector Magic PDF.  Sorry for any confusion.

What I meant by the question was - since the power clip provided light top and dark bottom shading on the 2016 and WHEW, how could a usable image be re-created without essentially redrawing since I think you can only add a power clip to something in Corel, not modify it once it's dropped inside.

But silly me, perhaps the bi-level shading was supposed to be that way.

The 2016 and WHEW parts actually came in vector when place in illy, so tracing those is/was unnecessary. Lost the shading and drop shadow with vector magic.

Placing the PDF in illy, flatten transparency,  then ctrl+alt+7 to separate the pieces (vector from raster) allows you to isolate the pieces that need to be auto traced.
