    Default Re: New bitmap tracer

    If it works and it's free, what's not to like?

    I use Vector Magic which more than lives up to its name but it is a bit pricey. I do not like Xara's bitmap tracer. Since it was added it has been completely forgotten and almost everybody has a more intuitive and effect bitmap tracer.

    I haven’t the patience to use the Xara bitmap tracer and often it just doesn’t work as expected. I have however achieved some very useful results using the one that is integrated into Inkscape.

    Using the same bitmap image you could run a comparison between the tracers you have access to.

    Despite the link looking good, you actually used http://internal/tab?url=https%3A%2F%2Finkscape.org%2Fdoc%2Ftutoria ls%2Ftracing%2Ftutorial-tracing.html&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.talkgraphi cs.com%2Fnewreply.php%3Fdo%3Dpostreply%26t%3D81622 &target=_blank

    Such things are hacks made of.

    Unsure of a link in your browser? Right-click and pick Inspect; you then can see where it's going to take you.

    This is a safe link. Do you trust me?
