I'm trying to take a logo that is a few colors and make it only black on a white background , and then save it as a vector file in Gimp.... anyone have any experience that can help direct me as I'm not getting it to work for me.... *pulls hair out* I need to get this figured out tonight.
I can do the changes you want in photoshop elements but can't vectorize it. Sorry.
Thanks for the offer. The vendor I'm dealing with frustrates me. The email they sent me this time states " We require vector based artwork such*as an AI or EPS file, which is reduced*to only solid black and white: no*colors, grayscale or gradients of any*kind. PDFs are also acceptable*provided the artwork embedded is*vector based."
On the flip, I know I've submitted jpegs in the past. Grrr....
Find a new vendor. If they are a printing outfit there's no reason they can't do the conversion for you.
I was also going to say the first part should be easy but I've never done vector stuff so not sure about it. Here are a couple of free tools apparently:Quote:

Oh and also http://inkscape.org/ (which uses Potrace internally, the first one I linked). Potrace doesn't have a GUI.
And it looks like WinTopo might not support the format you "require." Good luck!
I've. Played with inkscape in the past.... and been confused. Grrrr. Looks like a night of work on a project that shouldn't have been one.
In the days of yore I used snail mail artwork to this company. Technology is supposed to make life easier.....
And thanks for the help/ suggestions. Sorry if I sound frustrated.
This looks like it might be worth checking out:
