I am attempting to convert a large quantity of JPEGS into vector files. &nbsp;At the moment I have been doing this in adobe illustrator cs4 manually because the live trace function produces files which are virtually impossible to edit and much larger than if I reproduce them by hand.<br />

Is there a way to get better results from the live trace function in order to create smaller file sizes while maintaining a high degree of fidelity?

JPEG to Vector conversion

Web development includes all aspects of presenting content on intranets and the Internet, including delivery development, protocols, languages and standards, server software, browser clients, databases and multimedia generation.

Web Development

Illustration software is distinguished from photo-editing software in that the result is an original construction, rather than the manipulation of a photograph. Illustration software uses vector-based tools such that the content is stored digitally as resolution-independent mathematical formulae describing lines (open paths), shapes (closed paths), and color fills, strokes or gradients. Vector paths are constructed of anchor points and path segments. Illustration tools typically create precise lines, shapes and patterns with well-defined edges and are superb for working with complex constructions such as maps and typography.

Websites use graphics to enhance information, assist navigation, and generally improve the user’s experience. To create those graphics, developers use any number of programs, like the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop and Flash have their own topics), the CorelDraw suite, Xara, Gimp, ACDSee, Serif, ULead and others.
