I know it's an old/tired/boring technique, but how exactly do ya get that "vector" cutout style that was oh-so-popular last week/month/year...
I know there is the Cutout filter in Photoshop but there must be another way?
Cheers guys, sorry it's such a shit question...

silhouette plugin for ai

Where might I find that? I'm guessing it's not free?

adobe streamline?
- BZZZP0
streamline is a dead product. it still works, but not as well as that plug-in.

Streamline is NOT dead at least the code isnt, it was improved and optimized and integrated in Illustrato CS2

Ok... got Silhouette...
Anyone got any links to tutorials for it?!
It seems easy, but I haven't got the time to piss about trying to learn the ins and outs of it...
I just want results and I'm not getting what I want!
You know the drill, wanna turn a portrait photo into something like this:
At the moment the paths are too "tight" and the blocks of colour are too small, if that makes sense...?!
Thank you please.

Fuck that!
- Timson0
no, it's actually very accurate.
- HumanMale0
I'm well aware, but don't have the time or patience at the moment...

ok, have you tried messing up the settings of flash's 'trace bitmap'.
- HumanMale0
I haven't got Flash!
Thanks for your thoughts by the way... :)

Most bitmap > vector stuff will give you pretty mixed / messy reults which will need a lot of tidying up anyway. Good luck fella!

- thismanslife0
