I do a good deal of digital painting, and would be wonderful if I could use the tracing feature to create something like an outline. I'm reluctant to trace by hand, since my arthritis inhibits it. Ideally, I'd like to trace a bitmap such that I can redo the tracing in, say, a Xara calligraphic pen or a brush with varying thicknesses. I can generate a passable outline in PhotoShop using one of several techniques; no matter how simple I make the drawing however, Xara trace generates a host of interior lines that make the outline impractical to manipulate. What I want is a bitmap image reduced to the kind of picture in a kid's colouring book; can Xara perform the trick?
