Hm, i cant see that live trace tool on my Control Panel palete. How can i import it there ? Thanks

[GAMER0451]

@DalajLampa  which version are you using? Make sure you click on the object. It should appear on your menu bar as shown on my screen.

@llSurf7ll You can live trace any image, however of course the font won't become editable.

SO..say after you do this, you want to use this in a commercial logo...is it now legal to use?

[felipegaleano]

Ok i have a question! i have a image (.png file) and it kinda has some details that when i do the live trace I lose them all. The image is a skull and the details that i loose are the teeth on it...! =(

Any advice or guide?

Great tutorial. How can you break or ungroup the vector after the trace? So you could colour sperate parts? Sorry this might be really simple but I've only just started to lean Ai.
