Here's one of many threads that discuss this. A simple search produced it...

Methods of converting files to vector format are discussed as well as a pay site that can do it for you. The pay site may be your best option at this point since you are saying you need this done ASAP.

converting raster to vector (have PShop + Illustrator)

import the bitmaps and files into your vector program, lock them or place on a new layer. Use the tools in the program to recreate (trace) the original imported image.

Or use a service for a fee. Learn your program and youll be able to do them in no time.

Corel draw 12 has a good trace progam. Just remember every color will become a vector. If you have lots of colors you may need to adjust the colors. Good luck

I bought the upgrade of Corel V X3 for that one reason. It has a real neat converter to vector. If you have a JPEG you want to send to me, I will convert it and send it back for you to evaluate. Have a BLESSED evening.
God Bless You
