I asked about this in one of the desktop threads, but I want a little more detail, so here goes.
I have a couple photos I want to vectorize, not completely photorealistically, but like the movie A Scanner Darkly, or the commercials that have come out recently in the same style. I don't have Adobe Illustrator, which was recommended in the other thread, although I could get a demo I guess, but I do have both Macromedia Freehand and Seashore, an open-source vector editor. Has anyone tried to accomplish this effect in either of those two programs, and is it something that's very difficult to accomplish? I don't mind spending a day or two working on it, but I'm not exceptionally skilled so I'm not too sure about my potential for results if the software doesn't help me out a bit. Also, I have a tablet, would that be a good idea to use that?
Thanks in advance!
