  Vectorize a Logo From an Image

 

35. Click Options > Color/B&W Setup. The only change from the defaults is to choose "Black & White Only" in the Posterization drop down menu. This is the reason I like to work with grayscale images in Streamline ... it's easy.


36. Click Options > Conversion Setup. The only change from the defaults is to place a check mark only in the Centerline checkbox in the "Methods" box in the Conversion section of the dialog. In this example, the butterfly lines are of uniform weight, so there is no need to trace around the outside of the lines.


37. Next, click File > Convert. The converted art will appear in the document window as shown below.

38. Next, click File > Save Art As, then choose a filename and save the vector art to disk. A dialog appears for you to choose the EPS preview option. I chose color. Click OK to save the EPS file to disk.
