  Hi
  It depends on the type of image really. there are several ways to do it.
  you could first convert to 2 bit(b&w) image then trace.
  you could do a "woodcut" in corel, or most sign programs will do a "photocut" or halftone conversion

  You could even check out the tutorials, there is a good one on how to do a pop art image using halftones (sounds daft but do a search for pottyos)

  no need to search, I found it for you
