Adobe streamline is overrated in my opinion. Never had a decent result out of it.
Nothing can beat the bezier tool in illustrator.

The Pen tool works the best because it takes the most work to use and learn.
streamline is a shortcut and therefore gets shortcut results. Not bad but could be better

Uh.
Sometimes spending a week tracing/re drawing photos isnt very cost effective.
Streamline blows any other tracing tool away.
Problem is, it hasn't been updated in years.
Hopefully Adobe will build that engine into Illustrator or bundle it as a mini app - they need to make an OS X version however.
I use Streamline all the time.
I love it.
If nothing else, it's a good place to start with a vector recreation of a photo.I generally only use it for 2 color images, however.

Why dont you try the rasterize function in Flash? I like it.

it takes you a week to do so?
the more you do it, the faster you get. i can retrace in a decent amount of time and i'm pretty sure others who are great at it can do the same.
the results i get from streamline LOOK like i spent 2 minutes on it, where as, illustrator LOOKS like i spent a few hours on it.

I heard that Adobe are dropping their support for the app, and won't be continuing it in the future.
But thats only a rumour, and not from the horse's mouth.

It's all junk. Cheap tools for cheap results. Illustrator is the way to go.

get it. it rocks if you know how to use it. don't use fucking flash cuz then everything you do will look like everything that everyone else does. as soon as youi open a mag, youcan see which dorks use flash and which dare to use something that is not made for the web.
