Editing existing GIF, JPG, etc.

[JanleRoux]

Hi,

Is it possible to import a GIF, JPG or BMP file and then convert it into editable shapes? I have a logo (GIF) that I would like to give a different colour scheme without redrawing the whole thing. It was originally drawn in Adobe Elements.

I have tried BMP trace but it does not come out too well.

I have searched through the forums to see if someone asked this question, but I could not find one and I also looked at all the video's that I thought could have something along this line.

Thanks for your feedback!

Regards
Jan

The short answwer is "Nope."
Re-drawing is not difficult, btw, (in case you don't know) place your logo on one layer and make it a background layer, then open another layer on top and trace the outlines of the various shapes and fill with colour as needed.
