Hello, just found this one sharing my experiences in tracing esp for editing of photo's. For starters I guess you'll like Photoshop.
We have 2 types of Pen Tool for Photoshop, First is to Shape(Vectorized) and Second is to create Paths usually for photo editing for removing of backgrounds or highlighting spots. If you selected the Pen Tool you will see the 2 options in the upper left corner under the menu bar. I found it easier in photoshop because its easier to create curves or edit points especially in making curves. In Photoshop for example you are creating a path with two points you can add another point between the two points so that you can bend it by holding the (ctrl) button in PC or (cmd) in MAC(not so sure im a PC user).

Hope it helps :)

One more vote for pen tool in Illustrator. After some practicing, you won't use anything else :) Nice topic. Good luck! Agnes

If you are working in Illustrator, then the pen tool or the magic wand ( feature available in Illustrator now- awesome!)

If you use AI, just try using CorelDraw!! You can tracing image faster and easier than using Illustrator. If you using Illustrator you must holding on keyboard, but if you use CorelDraw you can drawing just with one hand.
In coloring, try to using blend, transparency, and gradient. If you want more realistic vector image, try using mesh tool but it's more difficult.

I frequently had to recreate a logo that was supplied as a low resolution bitmap image. Usually the best way to create a clean vector file was to use the pen tool in photoshop to draw paths, then export the paths to Illustrator for touchup and colorizing. In Photoshop you could magnify the image and not loose coherency.

Using the auto-trace function in Illustrator was unsatisfactory except for the most down and dirty work. The traced images needed more cleanup than they were worth. Natural fluency with the pen tool comes with practice, but it is required for Illustrator mastery.

Manually image drawing is the most tedious but it produces the cleanest result.

I think it's better to manually make the design from scratch and not tracing them.

Adobe Illustrator pen tool with some practice. I also like to use the "Smooth Tool" to round out some rough edges

Pen tool is the one to run to! Cropping a simple image may require skills and patience depending on the raw source of image. The more the curves of the object, the harder it is to crop. But if you invest time and effort on it, you will surely have a quality cropped image.

After i crop one image, I also personally blurr the edges. It makes the image look more natural.
