Spyder 0 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 live trace absolutley sucks. Color is horrible, certain "blacks" appear as gradient's, images get blotched up... its just horrible.If you're gonna do it, do it right and just take the time and re-create it in AI. Thats what I told him i'd do, and if I win, that what I'm GOING to do. Might take a day or two, but seriously... working on the computer is a peice of cake... especially compared to what I do all day everyday ( install alarm and security systems )Good luck!Thats why I do all my work vector with out having to worry about live trace...lol.. you dont have to re do it that way... there was one point where I would work in photoshop then trace... but now i only touch photoshop for photomanips... illustrator is my weapon of choice... day or two ouch, then again i guess i play with illustrator everyday so Im not taking that long anymore... i did my concept in about an hour... fully vector ready for anyuse they need... thats not including any minor touch ups of course... my logos are never finished till the client tells me to stop...lol...

SiliconSlim 0 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 live trace is their updated version of that and its way better than autotrace ever was... though it still can put too many anchors in you can adjust that... its ok for smaller files and simple things though... quite accurate... that being said i would still do it the old fashioned way and trace... lolMy print buyer tried to convince me of this a few months ago too. While I agree it's better, it's still not good for commercial products. I simply recreated the image in vector format by hand, took me about 10 minutes and it was *right*.
