I fount www.creattor.com usefull for getting bitmap stock files to transform to vector. Hi Evans,

The pics are complicated and cannot be individually drawn by another. I have saved the art work on my PC in a jpeg format. I want to reproduce the art work in a larger size for matting, framing and sale. The first jpeg enlargement was poor in quality so I suspect I need to convert the jpeg format discs to a vector format. There are over 60 drawings on each disc, (2) discs. Is there a conversion software that will convert all that data at once from jpeg to a vector format for enlargement purposes? I am real dumb when it comes to computer software as you can tell. I used Paint-software to begin with because it is what I had and when I started drawing I just went crazy with it. I will purchase a better software for future drawings.

The sail is made up of a number of panels, each of which are numbered. I need to convert this to a vector format so that it can be scaled and then each individual panel chas to be traced and html tagged.and then recompiled. The purpose of this is so that customers can colour in their own colour preferences on my website and send this back to me. As there will be different sail pictures for different sizes of sails this could involve quite a large number of drawings so it will be very time consuming. Could you suggest a quick way of doing this? I can send you an example of what it looks like. I hope you can help. Rob. Hi Laurens,
