When I take a logo I made in Photoshop and import it into Illustrator and use the automatic trace function the lines are not coming out to dimension or clear.
Any insight on this?

i have never heard of the automatice trace function.
open it, lock it, and trace it with the pen tool.

or hook it up oldskül with some streamline... why was this software not integrated with illustrator? it KINDA sucked, but worked sometimes...

The autotrace in AI is not great. But if you are strapped Make a hig res/contrast version in grayscale, take to AI then autrotrace awayl.
(You can get better results by hand)

freehand sucks, but it came with a trace tool that worked very well.

I'm just starting to use illustrator more especially with the wonderful vector resizing ability.
What's the easiest way to use the pen tool? When I try to use it it's not letting me use it properly for some reason.
Grrrrr.. I hate print stuff sometimes :( Gotta trace this logo and start putting together a small identity package.

Do not use Autotrace to draw, honey. Recreate it using the pen tool.

How can you curve with the pen tool?
This is primarily typography for a logo i'm trying to trace with a small edit on one of the letters.

oh, ok... you're using the pen tool for the first time ever. Yep you can curve. Click, pull handle. Adobe probably has a tutorial. It's worth a try. Sorry not an easy thing to teach via NT... good luck.

Curves = click & drag

If only it were that easy Brooke. We aren't all masters like you. But in essence you are right.
What up? How goes the toy business?

Geoffrey lets me sit on his lap while I work...
Everything's great.
