Spent a while today working with Live Trace in Adobe Illustrator, to turn a colleague's pencil sketch into a black and white vector illustration. Happy with the result, as was she. (Best strategy included working with the image in Photoshop first, to simplify and resize it. The second step was to use the "Place" command to open the .jpg file in Illustrator.) Final step was to trace, adjusting the presets as needed.
