Vermonster 111 Posted August 31, 2014 sometimes the answer isn't so much forcing your software to do what you want it to do...but teach yourself to do things different. Sometimes you can't just throw pictures at software and expect it to spit out a finished product. Sometimes you have to fix what you're feeding your software to get a better finished product. Nobody's software is going to magically pick this image up with the poor resolution it is, and just flip out a good trace or a better one than you can pull. It's going to require someone to do some manual effort so let it begin with you so you can learn how to do this and get some practice...For this, it's a pretty easy process.1. blow up the image n the screen (if you have an old glass monitor) OR...If you don't, print it out enlarged and you'll need to set up a quick trace table (which you should have if you don't already). Can be simple (Light under glass coffee table)2. Lay a piece of paper over it and trace it with a medium to small tipped sharpie3. Then you can either take a picture of your sharpied finished product and vector that with your software or scan it in as a vector (if you have the scanner/software to do that)Then feed that into your software and let us know what you get.</teaching to fish> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sue2 920 Posted August 31, 2014 It's too SMALL (9.53K) for most auto trace programs. Even enlarging it then tracing you will be node editing a lot. Here's some fishing line.... Print it out sharpest you can then take your phone and photograph that at a high resolution. Then try your trace software on the high res. photo. Or hand trace as suggested above....may just take less time. Sue2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
