This is a really cool FREE tool I ran across today called mockingbird. It has a clean setup and great functionality and in my opinion is a useful tool, especially when mocking up a larger site before going into the design phase. I also think this would be a good tool to provide to your customers so they can go in and mess around on what they think they want on their web site.

Have You Checked Out Vector Magic Yet?

Posted: September 8th, 2009 | Author: | Filed under: Software | No Comments »
This amazing online tool converts bitmap images to vector art in a way that has simply not been possible before.
Have you ever tried this with Flash or Adobe Live Trace or Corel Power Trace? I certainly have and the results have always been less than spectacular. Not so with VM.
All you do is choose a bitmap image (in JPG, GIF, PNG, BMP or TIFF format) upload it, (using the buttons on the home page) follow the simple prompts and Wa-La, instant and accurate vector interpretation which you can then download as an EPS, SVG or PNG file.
I tried this a number of times and was very impressed. I think you will be too.
