rjfox 0 Posted January 6, 2010 I used Vector Magic. Amazing program and worth the expense when vectorizing a lot. http://vectormagic.com/ I spent another 5-10 minutes doing cleanup work because once it is vectorized you still have lines that wouldnt cut cleanly.

I have vector but don't use it much I have been able to get such good results as others but then again I haven't spent a lot of time trying and inkscape seems to be easier and does a better job. Any hints for vector magic are you using the auto feature? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjfox 0 Posted January 6, 2010 It really depends on some of the images I from what I have seen. I use a toss up of Illustrator and VM 50/50. Most of the stuff I do in VM is from Hand drawn graphics. On this one I used advanced mode and then after it was vectorized I spent about 10 minutes cleaning it up within VM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
