Anyone try the livetrace in CS6?

Don't think it is going to replace the vector doctor anytime soon but it has some serious possibilities.
Girl on the left is the placed bitmap (high-rez Shutterstock jpg)
Center is the vector trace using the "high fidelity photo" preset
Right is a copy of the center with a black stroke applied to the paths and the fills removed.
64bit allows smooth fast editing even with a very high node count.

Neat stuff......

I never tried CS5, but it seems to be a huge improvement from CS4. Still doesn't replace a human hand, but it could make the job easier I think.

Used it a couple of times now. It's now called Image Trace and is greatly improved (controls are about the same but the accuracy is a lot better). Still far from perfect though and things still need cleanup. Kinda wish I had left CS5.5 installed so I coudl do some comparisons on that and a few other things. Overall I think CS6 is probably the most significant Illustrator update so far.
