FUDcon Boston design (my first tries had the same noise) was to boost
the contrast of the image in the Gimp first; I think I fiddled with
the levels a bit, then duplicated the original layer on top of itself
with one of the layer blending modes (I don't remember which one; I
just kept playing). If there were some fine details I knew wouldn't
come out in the final trace I doctored them out manually with a dark
brush! :)
Whoah! I tried those steps with the Boston photo
(http://www.flickr.com/photos/b-tal/193801686/) and it works very
smoothly (and setting the duplicate layer mode to "divide" is a world of
difference.
Ah that's not the photo we actually ended up with. It looks like I need
to update the T-shirts page! Because the license was non-commerical on
that photo, I went and took my own photo of Boston and used that one.
You can see the difference:
the final t-shirt:

the photo used for the design:

And yeh, the photo I took didn't come out as well as the original photo
I used for the design :(
