i'm working w/ highly detailed original pieces of b&w art (to become a dxf that is cut on a cnc plasma cutter) i import the drawing as a jpeg, convert it to a bitmap, then trace the bitmap. problem: no matter how tight & black the drawing is, the conversion is awful! doesn't look like the original - too many details are lost, curves become lines, noses & chins are flattened, etc. i've tried tracing it as line art, clip art, detailed logo etc., adjusting 'detail' & 'smoothing' - to no avail. the 'before' has the details, the 'after' looks like an etch a sketch drawing! any suggestions? thanks. ciara cesacer@aol.com
