If you increase the number of scans, then you will get more refined results, but it may take the time or make your computer slower according to the capacity of your computer system. That means if there are 8 as the value of scans, then it will trace your selected image 8 times and give you 8 layers of different shades of color that consist in your image. Now click on the ‘Multiple scans’ button.īefore clicking on this ‘Multiple scans’ button, you can manage the scan’s value by increasing and decreasing its value from the Scans box. If you are not satisfied with this color tracing, then you can go with the ‘Multiple scans’ option. So click on it.Īnd after clicking on the Update button, we will get colored traced image because this is color image. There is also the Autotrace option, and it will trace your image as it is. See, this is a very good result for edge tracing. So I will select this option then click on the Single scan button. There is an Edge detection option through which we can scan only the edges of the image and get the vector form of those edges. You can play with these parameters for having more refine results. You can adjust the threshold for having variations in the traced images. Now let us convert a color image into a vector, and for that purpose, I have taken this beautiful leaves image.įirst, click on the Single scan button of the Trace Bitmap dialog box.Īnd it will give you this beautiful trace result of the image once we click on the update button.Īfter applying this traced result, you will find this colour image’s black and white vector form. You can invert the traced image if you want, and for that, you have to enable the Invert Image option from this dialog box by clicking on the check box of the Invert Image option.Īnd click on the update button, then you will have this invert trace of your selected image, which you can use for different purposes in your illustration work. You can see the trace layer is in Vector format because I never pixelate on the zooming. You can see it by moving it from the source image. Now we will have traced images on the source image in different layers. Once you are done with settings, then click on the Update button in the preview section of this dialog box, and it will show you a preview of your traced image with chosen parameter settings.Īfter getting your desired traced result click on Apply button of this dialog box. So according to requirement we can increase or decrease it. So I will click on it.įrom the Brightness Threshold option, you can control the value of the density of pixels in your image during tracing. There is a ‘Single scan’ button through which we can start tracing the selected image.


We have different types of parameters in this dialog box, and by making changes in them, we can get various results in tracing for vector images. A Trace Bitmap dialog box will open at the right side of the working window.
