The thing is if the design is intrincated and mixes big shapes and small details, you do need a professional or knowing pretry well what you’re doing or no vectorization tool is going to give what I call a good result.

Even if you do some tricks to get better results, it will need further anchor points retouching.

But the key is there, what do you call a good result.
