I don't have Corel or Illustrator, and I would like to convert some stuff I've done to vector graphics. I have PS 5.5 I consulted the manual, but it wasn't terribly helpful. Any suggestions?

sorry, it can not be done! Ps 7 has posibilleties but tha'ts not working perfect either, the only thing is to get a vectorbased drawing packet and try to trace your original

Very hard getting good quality when converting from raster to vector. The more detailed the raster image, the harder it is to trace. Adobe Streamline 4 (which hasn't been updated in years) will convert images to line art does a crappy job. Flash will also trace images but doesn't do the greatest job. Corel Trace (that comes in the CorelDraw package) does a pretty decent job but that solution is out since you don't have it.

This is a shareware app that will convert line art to eps (haven't tried it as I use Adobe Streamline). The higher the resolution & the fewer the colors the better Streamline works. It's really ment for converting line art (B&W or multiple colors) to vectors/eps & not really intended to do mega-multi-color images.

um if you draw the entire document with paths ( layer masks you can export them to illustrator... I suppose depending on the image one could trace over the lines apropriatly... Then export to illustrator ( or what ever.. ) eps may / may not keep the path / colour information haven't tried for a while. I think one of the macromedia applications ( flash ) can make a photo into vector.. and depending on the chosen level of detail you could get some funky pop-art style images. looks kinda like a posterise / median job but a fair few of the sharp corners are kept in tact.

I was afraid it wouldn't be easy. Thanks for the help, anyway.
