Live Trace is the Devil

I have been working on sprucing up my Little Black Book for this weeks class, and decided that I would try to hand write the words to give the book a more authentic feel.

After writing all my 10 pages out, I did everything I could to make live trace work for me. Unfortunately, I clearly don't know how to properly use it. While it did trace, it also did some weird things, and wouldn't let me move any of the objects I traced.

I will have to learn how to get it all done, but for now, I will stay as far away as possible!

  1. The pen tool is the way to go. I hate Live Trace!

  2. I also ran into some issues with live trace. Callan has the right idea by going with the pen tool. If your drawing has gaps or certain elements that live trace can't handle you will have a ton of issues. You should do a search for tutorials on live trace.
