What could I use to trace?

Recommended Posts

Is there a certain program you all use to trace an image?  I've got a few maps of tracks the car has been to and I'd like to be able to cut them out on vinyl and put them on the car.

Here's an example:

I'd like to have a trace of the green part.  I have about 5 different tracks I'd like to do.

Inkscape will do what you want:

and it is free. There is an entire section on these forums about it,including step-by step instructions. Its really a great program.

I was able to get it to work with one of the tracks, but I just can't get the green to be selected with the one above.  With the other one, I was able to select all and remove the items around that weren't needed.

usually it is best to convert to black and white before you veactorize. Try this:

That's why the other one was so much easier.   ;D

I appreciate the help, this board is awsome.  You all are my new best friend.  Thanks!
