I am always amazed by what the bitmap tracer can do on its own. It can reproduce a cartoon line drawing extremely well or it can, as it has done here, transform a photograph into a fascinating drawing. Thought some of you might enjoy the results. I'm not sure how it does it, but it's intriguing. Neil

Yo !
You know it's not fair to post a trace without revealing your tracer settings. Them's the RULES!
Come clean now.

Sorry 'bout that, Tad. In my first weeks with Xara, someone suggested these settings. I haven't changed them since.

Now I've made a list, I could change some of them and experiment. Cheers, Neil

I also love the ability to work further on the different objects in the trace. See the attachment, which is of a bitmap in the clipart gallery, photo section.

Egg, Tad, There's so much one can do after the tracing. Here's some colours and transparencies added. Neil

How about a mini tutorial on the settings, textures, etc. you used on the cottage. Please, please, please. :O)) J

The colour alterations really bring the image to life. As a matter of interest how long did it take you to achieve?

I'll try to remember the many settings used in the cottage tracing and get back to you. Unfortunately I didn't save the original .xar file.

Egg,
It didn't take that long - maybe an hour or so. (I'm retired and lose time with Xara. Usually no deadlines.) I "ungrouped" the image and then selected each segment and gave it a fill. With most fills I selected elliptical, a favorite. I'm adding feathering now which gives it alters it a bit. I may try to replace the above with a newer edition. Thanks for your help and interest.
