vector imaging

Post by chadmanblue »

I have a picture of a police badge that I need to vector so I can use my auto tracing software. Does anyone know of a free or not to expensive vector software that will vector it relatively easy?

Thanks

Chad

inkscape should work good

plus you can try the plugins that the pros use also free trial

I've decided to download Coral X6 and take advantage of the free 30 day offer. Inkscape is too picky when it comes to loading files. I'm sure its the operators fault!
