There´s pixels, and then there´s vectors.
Since Photoshop 6, Photoshop sports increasingly advanced vector tools which often eliminates or at least delays the trip to Illustrator for vectors.
We use vectors when designing logos or creating graphic artwork. In print and in applications such as Flash.
I have made a tool (Photoshop action) for easy vector conversion of any pixel content (high res Line Art scan, Pencil Drawing, photo, or even web graphic), directly in Photoshop, with options to:
Choose Blur value to simplify
Choose Threshold level
Fine tune with a Dodging and Burning layer
Make a Custom Shape
Export result to Illustrator
The technique included is very powerful indeed, albeit simple in idea.
From this ugly jpeg <http://www.piodiaz.dk/Graphics/art_turbotwins.jpg> comes this nice Vector Shape <http://www.96ppi.net/vectorizer/turbotwins.gif>
You can download and study the technique from here: <http://www.96ppi.net/ddt_vectorizer.zip> (Un-zip action and load from Photoshop).
Tell us what you think about it, and add your questions or ideas below.
