question, though. At our company, our logo was hand drawn back in the mid 1980's. It has been scanned and I want to make it a vector image rather than a raster. I selected it and used the auto trace function. The problem is that the edges on the original are not very straight, it looks like it's caused from ink bleed or something. So when I trace it, Illustrator creates a million anchor points around all of these little imperfections. I reduced the number of anchor points and it causes the image to distort a bit, rather than smooth out. Is there a better tool for smoothing out these lines than going through and removing the anchor points one by one?
