how to turn photoshop files into vectors?

i heard there is a way but its complicated? i have tried to switch from photoshop to illustrator and i cant. im finding it way too difficult. so i'd like to try this method. any suggestions? thanks for your help.

Benwick, there is a closest way, but it is complicated, especially if you are using PSD effects. Usually, at the end when people made something in PSD at the end they convert the file with "high quality image tracing". But, that is not good option for the client. It is hardly editable as a final product in Ai... We can not call it "vector based design".
Our work, especially logo design, must be initially created as a vector file. So, suggestion is start to learn to work with Ai. It is not difficult as you may think at beginning. There are many great tutorials.

thanks for the reply. do you know of any tutorials specifically? thanks in advance.

Benwick, I am not sure what tutorials could be the best, but most of them are useful. I don't know, I forgot many of them... maybe try with one first (basics) Beginning Illustrator Lesson 1: Vectors vs. Pixels - YouTube - this will explain you about the PSD & Ai difference.
