I have been given a very poor image to print in vinyl. John (stitch up) my partner is away and I usually leave all of this to him. How do I convert the image to vector format? I have coral draw. Sorry to sound blonde.

If it is a very poor image as you say I had a similar problem some time back. I tried all sorts of solutions and admitted defeat so put it to members of another forum I'm on for sign makers. The answer came back 'you can't polish a t*rd'...(american respondent) so having spent hours trying to resolve the issue I gave up.
A lot depends on the size of the image you have to work from. Just how small or 'fuzzy' is the image?
Vector magic is good but it still can't make a good image from a poor one.
