I want to see some more of the livetrace stuff. Didn't versions of Illustrator before CS2 have an autotracing function? Couldn't you use that?

From my experience the previous versio of autotrace pale in comparsion to CS2's livetrace. That is a really cool effect in the new package.
 
Cool link. I had never seen the United commercial before. I watched that and the behind the scenes and it was quite awesome. Never would have seen it if it wasn't for people like you putting the info out there.
Thanks,
Alex
 
Live trace is the internalization and rework of Adobe Streamline. This is the second time Adobe took an external product and put it inside Illustrator as though it was a brand new thing... which its not.

I couldn't care less as long as it works and doesn't cost extra. :)

It's not like Apple developed FCP, Motion or Shake or Microsoft developed Word, Excel or Powerpoint. All of these larger developers started out with a core technology and rolled up smaller more innovative products and mad them their own.

Capitalism at it's best (or worst, depending on which side your on)
