BY POPULAR IGNORANCE: Tracer Face-off!
Due to the common perception that Adobe Illustrator’s Live Trace is infinitely superior to Xara’s relatively ancient Bitmap Tracer, it was interesting to actually do a comparison. The results are summarised in a 2000 word tutorial I whipped up. Hopefully, if Gary gets time, he will also put this on Xara Xone for the masses.
There were some interesting findings from this comparison, namely to do with trace quality, speed, and practicality of use of the two tracers.
Hopefully, this tutorial should also serve to clear up some of the ignorance surrounding Xara’s Bitmap Tracer – one of the gems Xara offers.
