Adobe Illustrator Cs3 has just been released. One of the important elements that can be used for restoring artwork is the live trace feature. Cs2 version was a pretty bad feature, it did not make it look close enough to the origional. How does CS3 compare? You decide. Personaly i think cs3 does a much better job then Cs2 did.
First the Png image fully vectored with little tweeking. only 8 colors enabled

So was all this done with live trace? I'd love to see a comparision with the same image done in cs2 and cs3
-
yes all of this was done in live trace. i did nothing by hand. all i did was select the image and hit live trace, selected inked drawing and thats about it except for changing color amounts. As for cs2 and cs3 il see what i can do.

You should look at the result close up. I have always found that live tracing works fine when you look at it from the whole picture, but when you go close it looks like a mess.

sacle it at 400% or more and let see if you still find it nice and sharp :laugh2:
