is there a way to take a solid black image and rasterize it into a vector graphic through Photoshop CS, or is there a method to place the object in Illustrator and rasterize into a vector graphic?
There’s a little confusion here: you rasterize a vector into a bit-mapped image.
It sounds like what you want to do is the exact opposite, i. e. take a bit-mapped (rasterized) image and turn its edges into a vector, sort of like what Streamline does. If not, I’m not following you.
correct, i want to go backwards so to say, i want to take a bitmap image and turn it back into vector, i don’t have streamline and i’m not sure if there is one for osX, i was wondering if photoshop or illustrator can perform that function.
said rasterize because i know that was the "term" in streamline if i’m not mistaken, sorry for the confusion.
It is possible (but usually not wise) to make a selection from a bitmapped object and turn the Selection into a Path but it is usually better to draw the path with the pen tool.
I understand that Freehand does a far better job with Autotrace than Illustrator.
