What do you vectorise with?

[Robert Lambie]

Ive ever used a trace feature in any software. i find it more laboring tidying a traced feature up hand doing from scratch.

always used Signlab. its easy, accurate and quick to trace.
simply scan an image, or save from web. import into Signlab and trace on screen.

there are various ways to speed you up in the software. practice makes perfect…

Hi Chris,

i’m with Rob, you need to learn to do it by hand, single colour logo is ok sometimes, or to make a sillhouette but multiple colours / layers etc and hand is the only way.

I use corel 12 and X5.

I use Vector Magic even though I have Signlab 8.
In comparison it makes the Signlab feature pretty redundant.
The logical control of the process and the results are just outstanding.

I still use Adobe streamline, its old and not perfect but it works well for me.

[Chris Whitehead]

I have to say, i’m very impressed with that Vector magic!

May have to look at buying that..

[Dan Osterbery]

vector magic all the way!!

Vector Magic every time.
Takes 2-3 mins. each logo and can save hours of manual digitizing in Corel or Illustrator.
No other programme comes close.

I have just tried that free online vector magic, and I’m very impressed 😀

[Hugh Potter]

i’ll have a look at the vector magic.

despite manual drawing taking some time on complicated jobs, especially when drawing from scratch with nothing to trace, I genuinely get a good level of satisfaction from drawing something and then sitting back to see it on the customers ‘whatever’. 😀

Yes, I have vector magic, have tried everything else, and this beats them all. It seems expensive but you get 2 licenses. I have it on my Mac and PC.

[Steve Goddard]

vector magic for me too, saves me a load of time

[Gwaredd Steele]

Good shout on VM. Never come across that before!

[RayRosher]

Yep! Vector Magic and then a tidy up in flexi if it needs it

[Cheryl Smith]

[Stephen Morriss]

CorelDraw and by hand, I’ve looked at Vector magic before but forgot about it!
Gonna have another look now.

I use an old running machine that I bought from Argos a few years ago. Don’t use it so much nowadays though…(?)

…sorry, I thought you said "what do you exercise with" 😕
