Website Review: VectorMagic

[Cliff N. Hansen]

Here's a new site I found via Appclinic. A free website that lets you take raster (or bitmapped) images and change them into editable vector files (i.e. go from Photoshop to Illustrator). The site is called VectorMagic and you can find it at http://vectormagic.stanford.edu/. Granted both Illustrator and Inkscape (to be reviewed later) have tracing features that accomplish the same sorts of things, but VectorMagic is nice since it is really easy to use and is online. Experimenting with the RocketBoom logo, I actually found VectorMagic to work better than Illustrator's trace feature.
