Not sure if NSG is the best place to ask but i bet there is a lot of nser's who know a lot about illustrator and photo shop. I need to smooth out the edges on a couple pictures because when i imported them to illustrator then were all pixelated on the edges. I have to vectorize (confused about that) it and smooth the edges. if anyone could help me out i would really appreciate it. Click for larger image Click for larger image here are the pictures

"Vector" images are made of points, lines, and curves that are based on a mathematical system so that they may be infinitely scaled, unlike a "Raster" image that is made of individual pixels.

if we do this for you how are you going to learn how to do it yourself...  only one way to learn how to use the program and its to just jump right in and use it if you get in trouble on how to do something there are tons of tutorials on google.

See that string of blue letters at the beginning of the first reply to your thread? It's called a link. You click on it, and it will take you to a website. On that website you will find a comprehensive guide on how to use the Pen tool in Illustrator. The Pen tool is used to create the vector images you are in need of.





Or just half-ass it and use Live Trace, its in the Option menu...
