Hi all,
I have an image I created in Photoshop CS5. I wanted to make it a vector graphic, so I transferred it over to Illustrator and did an image trace. Now here is my problem. When I do a trace, using any option like high-fidelity photo, logo, etc. the outside edges of my image turn all wavy. What I want is more straight. Is there a way to sort of "average" out the wavy lines? Its really a rather simple silhouette of an airplane. Anyone know how I can get this smoother, besides going back and doing it in Photoshop? I"m an Illustrator noob!
Thanks!

You can reduce the number of nodes or
You can re-draw it in illustrator - a simple silhouette should be easy to do or
there are a few services out there that will vector it for you.

I personally do redraws it's faster than tracing and cleaning it up - traces suck even for simple things.

you can try - object - path - cleanup or simplify. but I usually end up manually tracing it also

Yeah I just ended up opening the full trace panel so I found the options for reducing nodes, etc.
Thanks!
