LOL....I was hoping you weren't going to say that. Thanks for your help Jacorre. I am still new to Illustrator and converting images to vectors, so again this next question might show my ignorance, but when using the pen tool, how can I maintain the color and shading of the objects I am converting? Do I have to outline every color/hue, or is their an easier way? What about objects that have fades or gradients?
