OK, I know some of you have artistic talent (I don't) and maybe you can help me with something.
I have logo that I want to recycle (a stylized rose). All I have is a slightly grainy black and white GIF file, and I would like to sharpen it up and convert it into a vector based format so that I can recolor it for use with PPT or whatever. All I have to work with is the normal MS stuff (Paint, Powerpoint, and the old MS Photo Editor).
It there a what to go about this with the normal MS tools? If not, it there another software you can suggest that will yield the same result? |

I don't know of a "normal MS tool" that can do raster-to-vector conversion. But there are third-party tools. |

Thanks for all the suggestions. I grabbed a freeware called Inkscape and it has a built-in scanner that did the trick for me. It took a tad of clean-up in MS Paint to flesh out some of the corners, but then it scanned it nicely. |
