I've only used Live Trace until now. We'll see how they compare. I’ll have to look into Inkscape. I’ve only used Live Trace until now. We’ll see how they compare.

If you want to use the grunge path as a brush, you can actually skip the Photoshop pre-processing and play with the Trace Bitmap settings to get the kind of contrast you're looking for.

In Wwindows there is no need to run an other app to work with inkscape. I use it also with my students in school - simple and has a lot of features. so, thanks for the post!

I think you get a better result with InkScape, plus, not everyone has Illustrator CS2, and InkScape is Free. ~BittBox Yes, technically you could do this in Illustrator, but like I mentioned, InkScape’s Trace options are much more advanced and easier to use in my opinion.

I'm new to vector graphics, don't have access to Illustrator and find that tutorials don't translate as well between the two as, say, those for Photoshop translated to Gimp (although that could be just lack of knowledge) so its much appreciated - but all your posts are interesting nevertheless. Keep up the good work. Nice to see a tutorial done in Inkscape rather than Illustrator for a change.
