Is it possible to convert an image into vector? If you can do it, can you explain step by step how to do it?

Thanks

If you mean transform a graphic (or a photo) automatically in vector, PSP cannot do it.
Corel Draw has such possibility.
And I think you may find some softwares on the web...

If I may pop in, you can 'pseudo-perform' such a thing manually, by utilizing the Pen Tool and tracing your image by hand on a Vector Layer. Creating Vector elements in this way, you can create a 'vectorized version' of an image, as complicated as you wish, adding multiple vector layers/elements, as far as you want to go.

However, as far as simple conversion or an automated process of converting a bitmap to a vector, J.L. is correct, there is no such automated process in PSPro at this time.

GL with it if you want to try it manually though - I have tried this in the past with my own logos and had pretty good success (so I wanted to add this here, to possibly help others), HTH
