Illustrator Tutorial : Bitmap Into Vector

One of the most common tasks in illustration is taking a photograph or hand sketch and converting it into path-based vector art using Adobe® Illustrator®. Before Illustrator CS2, this meant long hours with the autotrace tool or using other applications like Adobe Streamline®. Today, going from bitmap to vector art is a matter of seconds, in as little as one click using the new Live Trace feature in Illustrator CS2.

Perhaps one of the most common tracing tasks in Illustrator is creating a hand sketch, scanning it into your computer, and then tracing it into vectors. Live Trace takes this once-laborious process and makes it simple.
