What programs do you guys find best for making Vector graphics? Are there ANY decent "Auto-vector" programs?

(on a side note, would ya?)

illustrator for pros
inkscape for cheap
photoshop for noobs

only bw images are decent auto vectorable! once the image has color, the autovector will suck mayor balls !

photoshop sucks for vectoring, because it cant export them as svg/ais

once you save ur "ps vector" itll be a bitmap again

also, once u fill ur ps vector with color, it will loose its vector trademarks!

flash autovector sucks BALLS. Illustrator is the best. Unless you get a autovector program specifically for jpeg to vector conversion. I have one that converts drawing outlines to vectors. Its more for Cab stuff tho.

Illustrator is the best for vector hands down.
The best way to autovector is to have a high resolution picture. Especially if its black and white. Take this from a pro btw

agreed.

for vector drawing/illustrating: Illustrator>Photoshop : big time.

that said, the "auto trace" function in Illustrator isn't that great... sometimes its results can be used as a "good start" - then work by hand to "fix it" from there...
back in the day, [Adobe] Streamline 4 was pretty good but still mostly good for only very clear black and white images... otherwise get those pen tool skills way up - gonna B a lot of tracing in the hot town tonight.
