Photographs typically have many unique colours, so to get an accurate vector trace requires more and smaller shapes than a simple logo image, or a black and white drawing. The suggested resample scale will depend on the size of the original image to be traced. If it is large, tracing it may be slow, so it is advised to let Autotrace down-sample it first. The Flatten slider will affect the quality of the image. Move it to the left to reduce the banding of areas of similar colour.Īdjust the other sliders to suit your needs, before Tracing the image, and accept the trace if it looks good in the preview. The smallest area to trace defaults to 10 pixels.
Open the Help Tab on the left of the Autotrace Studio by hovering the mouse over the right-pointing triangle, or by clicking it. This will give you more detail on using the various slider options for optimal results. Blend The blend tool can create all kinds of visual effects in a few seconds. To create this shape, I draw a quick wave, made a copy, gave it a different fill, and blended the two. Then I moved and resized the copy to modify the blended object. Connectors Flow-charts, family trees, or diagrams can be created using the Connectors to join quick shapes, text frames, pictures, or Artistic Text. Lines that cross will have a cross-over elbow. Crop Any picture can be cropped with the square or irregular crop tool, or by a quick shape. The Image Cutout Studio can also be used to create an irregular vector crop. Customisable Interface The Toolbars, Menus, Keyboard shortcuts, and Workspaces can all be customised to improve productivity. Workspaces can be saved and then switched quickly to suit different projects.
Dimension Lines Horizontal, Vertical, Diagonal, or Angular dimension lines can be added to engineering drawings or plans. The context toolbar allows the precision to be altered, and units to be changed or hidden. Each format has appropriate options for resolution, colour depth, and transparency. The latter offering improved compression over JPG. It is supported by the old Opera and Chrome-based browsers, or Firefox with the help of Javascript.
Filter Effects A wide range of filter effects can be applied to objects or text to add drop shadows, bevels, outlines, reflections, etc. Join Outlines Complex shapes can be created quickly by joining curves using the Add, Subtract, or Exclude options. Large Icons There is a choice of icon sizes. Small, Large, or Automatic detection based on the resolution of your monitor. If adding new custom icons use a size of 18 x 18 pixels. Layers Complex drawings are much easier to work on if split into layers.
