Illustrator's AI tools share one front door. Object > Generative lists them, and the Contextual Task Bar offers whichever fits your selection, so a rectangle offers Generate Vectors and a placed image offers Concept to Vector. Most of them leave their result as a Generative Object, with variations you can step through in the Properties panel. Nothing is final until you pick one.

Members answer these 3 questions and keep the ticket for this lesson. Every lesson has one.

  1. Question 1, locked

    Which Text to Vector Graphic content type does Adobe pitch at icon sets and logos?

    • Scene
    • Subject
    • Icon
    • Pattern
  2. Question 2, locked

    Why does the lesson keep Concept to Vector to exploring when you work for a client?

    • It only produces raster images
    • Every model it offers is a partner model, and Adobe leaves the rights judgement to you
    • It uses no credits, so Adobe gives no support for it
    • It can only trace black and white images
  3. Question 3, locked

    When does Auto Select in Text to Vector Graphic use your credits?

    • Only when you press Generate
    • Whenever it shows a recommendation
    • Each time you switch models
    • Once a day, whether you use it or not
