Using the Bitmap Tracer

[JF Slater]

I'm trying to get to grips with the bitmap tracer.

My first problem is- what's the best way to posterise an image to give it large blocks of colour rather than 8 colours spread in speckles over the whole image? Can this be done in Xara or do I need to use, say, Photoshop?

Secondly, when I trace a bitmap even without anti-aliasing on the screen or in the bitmap, I always get tiny curved shapes around it. This happens whatever settings I use. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a feature of the trace?
