Thank you for your DETAILED DEMONSTRATION and the results of the conversion by those 6 apps. Your video does help me with making an informed decision of what software to use to meet my needs.

[@WadeMcMaster]

I'm glad it was helpful! Thank you so much :)

[@user-fw1ib8be6v]

I used to use an open source program, Inkscape, for automatic vectorization, which also gives good results.

[@WadeMcMaster]

oh, didn't know about that either! Thank you! I might need a follow up video, I have a few services now :)

[@greyclassic6563]

Inkscape is my secret weapon

[@carlslater7492]

Another vote for Inkscape .... JPG -> Inkscape -> FreeCad/VCarve pro

[@WadeMcMaster]

I'm definitely convinced now haha

[@MrPlomsone]

Adobe Illustrator being the industry’s leading vector software needs to step it up. They should work on a version that should be as precise as the image we are importing but without all the extra tracing options it has now.

[@WadeMcMaster]

I agree, it would make life a LOT easier!

[@ElWray2064]

The desktop version of vector magic it's a beast, it has such a level of granular control that it can handle anything that I ever threw at it, I bought it many many years ago and it never failed to impress me, it's simply perfect

[@WadeMcMaster]

Oh nice, I wondered if it had anything extra. Sounds good!

[@nzlemming]

I used it when it first came out, and agree with your assessment. I can't remember what they did that made me stop using it, but I found that Inkscape could do what I wanted (mostly) so I don't miss it.

[@WadeMcMaster]

Good to know, I really need to try inkscape. I've already made a note to do a follow up video to test some of the extra ones people have mentioned.

[@zverok777]

Дякую, дуже корисно, давайте ще)))

[@WadeMcMaster]

Thank you! I'll do my best to create more in this space and others if you find that helpful :)

[@paulhill1662]

Thanks for sharing and taking the time to do it live from England

[@WadeMcMaster]

No problem mate, thank you for checking out the video!

[@AnthonyWashingtonX2K]

Great video. I always forget about Corel Draw. Way back in the 90's I looked into switching to Corel Draw but I could not unlearn Illustrator. I guess sometimes you can't teach an old graphic designer new software. Have you looked at Affinity Designer and Inkscape?

[@WadeMcMaster]

Absolutely, I've had to switch a few times back and forth when I was in the industry too and it drove me insane haha. I haven't tried those, I am thinking a follow up video eventually may be in order!

[@WEREBACKoCOM]

How can you be so sure of vectorizerAI, when you weren't even presented the real results? How can you judge a vector image based off a pixel representation?

[@WadeMcMaster]

I have used it in the past and used the results, they are exactly the same as the representation.

[@LouisGedo]

👋

[@WadeMcMaster]

Thanks man :)

[@MissChelle]

I use Adobe capture. Works well for a free app ❤️🇦🇺

[@WadeMcMaster]

I haven't tried it! thank you for letting me know :)

[@karbala315]

verry nice

[@WadeMcMaster]

Thank you!
