Heh... Popular email list indeed. - Phantom784, on 11/12/2007, -0/+35Enhance!!!
- ChromaVita, on 11/12/2007, -0/+26Forwarde.... I mean.... Dugg.
- ThatEvilGuy, on 11/12/2007, -0/+25Apologies accepted, but don't do that again.
- kaffein, on 11/12/2007, -1/+24Already made the front page a few weeks ago...

- pelline, on 11/11/2007, -0/+13Doesn't Flash have a feature a bit like this called trace bitmap?
- Ratteler, on 11/13/2007, -0/+12Awesome find. Just wish they had a stand alone version for use when you don't have web access.
- the_snitch, on 11/12/2007, -1/+11Yeah but this is better, see.
http://vectormagic.stanford.edu/vectorize/comparis ... - stalefries, on 11/11/2007, -1/+11Yeah, so does Illustrator and Inkscape.
- Godlesswanderer, on 11/11/2007, -1/+10Yes but Flash isn't free.
- ElBob, on 11/11/2007, -2/+10Oh yeah dude, seriously ***** this. Its free, but I mean come on! Why the hell would ANYONE want to use it? I mean, they could just use a 200$ program instead!
- Audacitor, on 11/13/2007, -3/+10*cough* BitTorrent *cough*
- sanman, on 11/11/2007, -0/+7Now all we need is for it to be embedded onto a chip, so that it can be used for realtime video processing, and then we can scale any video to as high a resolution as we need.
- sysconnected, on 11/12/2007, -2/+8I have tried many apps like this one before and this is a good tool.
- delhokie, on 11/12/2007, -0/+6Vector Magic: $0 ... Imagaro Z: $690 ... Haven't tried Imagaro yet, but for free Vector Magic is a great tool
- Killbot2015, on 11/11/2007, -0/+5Flash isn't mentioned in that comparison.
- cl2yp71c, on 11/11/2007, -1/+6Didn't work for me last time....good thing it was re-dugg :-)
- hackerssidekick, on 11/11/2007, -0/+5And has a trace feature, I believe.
- Zippo, on 11/11/2007, -1/+5Well, Firefox and some other modern browsers support SVGs. And Inkscape is free.
- endlessoul, on 11/13/2007, -2/+6Dammit, that's what I came here to say.
The first thing I thought of when seeing the title is "So that's how CSI does it!" - solid12345, on 11/11/2007, -0/+3Still want to know why everyone is harping on the cost of programs, what use do you have for vector images if you aren't using vector based programs to begin with?
- grantmoore3d, on 11/13/2007, -1/+3Somehow I don't see this being very useful except in rare instances. It's only good for resizing something that should have been created as a vector image in the first place. So unless you have some old pixel-logo image you need restored for a company (and I'd rather trace and tweak it myself anyways)... I don't see the usefulness.
- inactive, on 11/11/2007, -1/+3great. i use adobe and most of the time i convert myself by tracing which takes forever. but the adobe autotracer is teh suck for sure.
- eleprechaun, on 11/11/2007, -1/+3enhance.....enhance.... enhance......
just print the damn thing! - Boggy1, on 11/10/2007, -0/+2http://vectormagic.stanford.edu/vectorize/comparis ...
- acontorer, on 11/12/2007, -0/+2This is the best user interface design I have seen all year. The designers deserve an award.
- DigitAl56K, on 11/13/2007, -2/+4A) All the details are gone
B) Your pictures wouldn't look so frikkin pixelated if you didn't use nearest neighbor as a resampling algorithm. Try something like a lanczos resize. - TheMachine1, on 11/11/2007, -0/+1Yeah a Gimp plugin.
- dodonnellwcr, on 11/11/2007, -3/+4A valuable tool, I have used it before, good asset to have bookmarked.
- the_snitch, on 11/12/2007, -0/+1whoops I mean't to reply to the guy who mentioned Illustrator below, but chose the wrong one when I returned with the link
- Killbot2015, on 11/12/2007, -3/+3Heh, yeah and this will help.
- ubergeek09, on 11/11/2007, -1/+1I did this to some of my images, and it looks really really cool on some of them.
- daviddavid, on 11/10/2007, -1/+1Imagaro Z is lesser known but produces better results ... also does font analysis
http://www.imagaro.com - armada8800, on 11/12/2007, -0/+0This site is AWESOME!
- ubergeek09, on 11/11/2007, -1/+1That's awesome.
- Zippo, on 11/11/2007, -1/+1Wow, where have this thing been all my life?! ***** saved.
- sERIALeATER, on 11/11/2007, -1/+1Some porn addict would love that
- kigol, on 11/11/2007, -2/+1this is old news.. i remember this from days ago:
http://twinturbo.org/2007/11/05/vector-magic/ - siaoyao, on 11/12/2007, -1/+0I use this with Myfonts.com to make my needed font text into vector EPS, here is my example: http://siaoyao.blogspot.com/2007/11/never-buy-font ...
- Mellowman999, on 11/11/2007, -1/+0sly cooper....
- deadnoob, on 11/11/2007, -4/+2recent dupe. sorry, but its buried
- solid12345, on 11/12/2007, -3/+1Well if you are working with vectors alot you probably own illustrator anyway wouldn't you think?
- Petzke, on 11/11/2007, -4/+2CorelDraw (for my money, probably the best vector program) has had trace since something like the mid-90s. But I'll have to try this out to see how it compares.
- Psythik, on 11/12/2007, -5/+3Why can't someone design a vectorizer that doesn't make your images look like a badly blended gif?
- Scopitone, on 11/12/2007, -3/+1God damn it, I love this site and now it's going to be destroyed.
- Dan2552, on 11/12/2007, -3/+1yeah but it was always down because so many people kept trying to use it at once.
