Overview of Vector Magic
Vector artwork is more popular than ever, and this popularity is likely to continue to increase for a variety of reasons. One major reason that people love vector images is because they are scalable. That is, unlike raster images such as JPEGs and GIFs, vector images can be enlarged to any size you want without the loss of quality. While there are a number of applications (AKVIS Magnifier is one example) that can enlarge a digital photo with minimal quality loss, all of these products have limitations, especially if the original photograph wasn’t in that great of shape to begin with.
Vector Magic is an application that can take any digital photograph or other raster image and transform it into a quality vector drawing. The software has both an online and desktop version, but we’ll be concentrating more on the online version in this review. In particular, we’ll investigate how easy the application is to use and look at what kind of results it gives.
The online version of Vector Magic is very simple and straightforward. From the product home page, all you have to do is click on the Upload Image to Trace button and then navigate to the directory on your computer that contains the digital photo you want to convert to a vector image. As an example for this review, we’ll use a photo of a fountain taken by Andrea Clay. (Click any image in this article for a larger view.)
Once you upload the photograph, you’ll be able to view the original photo and the vectorized image side by side and choose from several options to modify the result. You can pick settings that will make the final image look as close as possible to the original photo or you can select from a number of other options that will give the output a more artistic look and feel.
