VETORIZING IN AI ??

Recommended Posts

If you mean the Auto Trace do this

New Document > File > Place > Browse for desired image > OK > Select Image > Object > Live Trace > Live Trace Option > Click Preview Button > Play with the settings > When satisfied click ok.

You are done.

PS You need Cs2 or Cs3

some times it works great for me and other times it looks like crap!  any pointers to getting a better looking image with the trace?

A lot of time its better to redraw it using the pen tool. I find inkscape does a better job then illustrator in auto vectoring.

For some reason I can't get the pen tool down.  I'm self tought (aka internet tutorials) in photoshop and illustrator and I think I get around both of them pretty good....  With the exception of the darn Pen tool.  I guess I better get practicing.
