S. Johnson 0 Posted May 8, 2013 So, I have a crown that I'm am trying to use and when I trace it in inkscape, I lose a lot of the detail. Its not THAT small so I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any info would be great! The first is the original The second is after its traced with Edge detection selected and a .20 Threshold Thank you Clipboard01.bmp Clipboard012.bmp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darcshadow 1,626 Posted May 8, 2013 I forget what the first option on the list is but that the one I usually use. I believe the default is 0.45, I usually give that a try but often find 0.6 give me a better image. I've never been pleased with the edge detection on any of the images I've tried it on.

Coaster36 327 Posted May 8, 2013 You have to play with the threshold. I recommend to everyone to do at least 10 traces with different thresholds until you get one with the least amount of nodes and the most detail. I also dont suggest making the image larger before you trace it, just zoom way in there so you can see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mark-s 1,126 Posted May 8, 2013 No matter what tracing software is used, there is always node editing to be done. mark-s 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
