Vectorize Raster Logos

Rastering RGB and Indexed Increased Resolution Quality Comparison

Sony Logo in RGB

For this logo, I saved the photo in RGB color mode. By making the color mode RGB, it creates a smoother edges than the indexed color. Since the image is in RGB, that creates more colors.

Sony Logo in Indexed color

For this logo, I set the color mode for this image in Indexed Color. The problem with saving as an Indexed Color is that it makes the edges of the image look unsmooth. Also, by using Indexed Color, there are only two color values for that color mode. It's better to save this kind of logo in RGB so that you'll have a higher selection of colors. By saving it as a GIF, it makes the image safe to send, and you always save an Indexed Color image as a GIF.

High Quality RGB Converted to Vector 

 What really makes a difference in the quality of the image better is by saving the image as High Fidelity Quality and changing it to an RGB color mode. By saving the color mode in RGB in Photoshop, it the create more color options to 256 colors while you're saving the image as a GIF while in Adobe Illustrator. When Image Tracing, by changing the preset to High Fidelity Quality, it makes the quality of the image even better and smoother. The Older Sony Logo is jagged around the image, not as clear, and not something you'd want to use as a printed logo.
