Can someone help me out with an advice how to convert objects made in Photoshop or Photopaint into vector graphic objects? Is anyone aware of some downloadable converter or something similar?
Thanks in advance!
I've downloaded those but fortunately found Stanford link before installing them.astsmtl wrote:http://autotrace.sourceforge.net/

These programs are free as in freedom.
1) To run Delineate, you will need to install the following software:
AutoTrace 0.31.1
http://autotrace.sourceforge.net/
potrace 1.1
http://potrace.sourceforge.net/
Java J2SE 1.4.1 or 1.4.2
http://java.sun.com/j2se/corejava/
2) Set your JAVA_HOME environment variable to the location where you
have Java installed.
In Windows XP you can add this environment variable by going to:
Start -> Settings
-> Control Panel
-> System
-> Advanced
-> Environment Variables
Click the New button:
- enter the variable name as JAVA_HOME, and
- enter the variable value as the location where Java is installed,
for example: C:\Program Files\J2SDK_1.4.1_02
5) Extract delineate-0.5.zip on to your machine
6) To run:
Go to the directory <install dir>/delineate/0.5
double click on or run the file: delineate.bat
7) When you run a conversion for the first time, you'll be prompted
to select the location of the autotrace or potrace application file.
You must have these applications installed (see step 1).
In the file chooser dialog window select the appropriate file:
<autotrace install dir>/autotrace.exe or
<potrace install dir>/potrace.exe
