Autotracing
Working with Pictures 169
Instead of manually tracing a design, it's possible to automatically convert
bitmaps back into vector objects by using autotracing. Its main function is for
speedily reworking bitmapped logos (for further design modification), but its
use is not confined to this. In fact, both grayscale and color photos can equally
be autotraced for eye-catching artistic effects.
For each of these uses, DrawPlus offers a studio environment and a specific
preset profile which will produce optimum results while autotracing artwork of
your chosen type. These profiles are called Logo Image Trace, B/W Image
Trace, and Photo Image Trace.
• Logo Image Trace. For
tracing of vector bitmaps
(e.g., logos, signatures, or
other designs with
antialiasing).
• B/W Image Trace. For
black and white tracings
of photos, scanned
images, and line
drawings.
• Photo Image Trace. For
color tracing of photos.
