I drew a series of ink sketches on textured paper and need one cleaned into a crisp composition for a 24x36 print and a matching social tile. The gallery wants a template they can reuse with new show titles. I’m unsure whether to trace the lines into vectors or to clean and flatten in high-res pixels. I’m worried about losing the hand-drawn quality while making it production-safe and about bleed/trim for the printer. Diagnose which route—vector or raster—fits this sketch and why, list the three things that will break a print (resolution, bleed, stray marks) and the exact file I should hand to the gallery (color mode, profile, resolution, and whether to include editable text layers). Keep a firm line: do not simplify the artist’s line to a mechanical stroke.

when the reply comes backPush once: ask it to sharpen the weakest part, and to say what it assumed.

The real tasks

1 of them

I have a page of ink sketches and a deadline: the gallery wants a production mockup for Monday and marketing needs a reusable poster template they can edit. I'm new to preparing files for print and fear I’ll hand over something that blows up or looks amateur on the wall. Tell me whether to vector-trace or clean in pixels, which parts must be fixed before templating, and the single step I must not skip before I hand this to the framer.

Questions people ask

honest answers

Because you rarely think 'I want the redaction tool'. You think 'I have to share this without leaking the client's details'. Start from the need, and the feature finds you.

Real. Every job here was drawn from what people in real roles were actually seen doing in Photoshop — not a feature checklist.

No. Each page gives you a ready prompt you can paste into an AI assistant, plus the plain steps to do it yourself. Start with either — the goal is the finished job, not the tool.
