Hi all.

One such package for the graphic design market is Adobe Streamline.  It is
most often used for posterizing images (involves reducing the number of
colours) but the latest version can try to use unlimited colours when
vectorizing.  You should look it up on the Adobe site for details about
formats supported to see whether it fits your needs.
