Question
Hi, I have a tiff file I would like to convert to a vector file using illustrator cs3. The file is a black and white logo. I have read where it can be done, but no clear instructions.
Hi Brad,
I get this question so much, I think I may post it as my bio on here. ha ha.
Click on the placed image and then look at the options bar at the top of the window. There is a button called live trace. Click that and use the settings to achieve the desired look. Once you are happy, then click the Expand button at the top.
Thanks
Kevin
