How to Use the New Image Trace in Adobe Illustrator CS6

Today we will learn the new features of the tracing engine in Adobe Illustrator CS6 and talk about its new functions. We will trace a photo, a sketch and a texture; then we will compare the results between Adobe Illustrator CS5 and CS6. Let’s get started! In this tutorial I’ll use a photo a strawberry (credit to deviantART user StockProject1) ; the sketch was kindly provided by Victoria Vasilyeva and the texture (credit to deviantART user ~kingkool6). Step 1 In Adobe Illustrator CS6 the settings of the tracing is in the new Image Trace panel (Window > Image Trace). This allows us to use other panels and tools while tracing.

Photoshop and the digital revolution

“I use Photoshop as I would to hand-print an image; e.g., burning, dodging, etc. I don’t use ‘special effects’ very often; I’m still a big fan of more traditional techniques—applied digitally, of course.”—Marcus Bell In the days leading up to the advent of digital imaging , the skeptics/realists often predicted that until a digital image could rival the amount of information found in a 35mm film frame, professional photographers would continue to ignore digital imaging. These thoughtful folks proclaimed that there are 10,000,000 discrete units of information (bits) in an exposed 24x36mm film frame. Equalling that requires a 10MB image—a file size that is now commonplace. In fact, at this writing there are a handful of professional 35mm digital SLRs that offer 16–18MB original files.
