Members OverDriven Posted November 12, 2010 Members Share Posted November 12, 2010 Live Trace is nowhere near as precise and flexible as manually tracing it, especially if you have to do straight lines We can agree to disagree If what you're tracing has a straight line, the live trace will too. You can also start with a live trace and modify it if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members isvoid Posted November 13, 2010 Members Share Posted November 13, 2010 you are confused. i converted it to vector. here is the other one with 6 colors I'm not confused -- key words "looks like"I put my image to the right of yours -- tell me they don't share characteristics :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members isvoid Posted November 13, 2010 Members Share Posted November 13, 2010 Izzy,The best way to do what he's asking for IMO is to place the raster image into an illustrator document and then use Live Trace to convert it to a vector graphic as I did above. It takes a bit of tweaking on the settings, but I ended up using a 16 color palette. thanks Joe, looks good it does share some characteristics of posterization; perhaps some of the underlying algorithms are similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
