Feb 25, 2012I have recently buy one software ( embroidery) , with the corel draw x5 essential.
- but I can not find the trace function to convert bitmap to vector , like power trace.

I traced bitmap -> Quick trace. Is there a way to edit that vector image now - with the shape tool?

how to use Live Trace in Illustrator but now instead of the Tracing Options window having a button that says "Trace" it's now showing a button that says "Set to Default." I'm sure something isn't selected right or something similar, but I can't figure it out. why "Trace" is no longer an option?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm loving CS6 Illustrator, except for one thing. Image Trace. Here, Adobe seem to have taken away the two most usefull settings from Live Trace, and replaced all the presets with ones that are pretty much unusable. I almost always used either 'Comic Art' or 'Lettering' to trace hand-drawn images, but they're both gone. None of the new settings are good enough, even if I make a custom one. The main issue is that the sliders in Image Trace are for completely different things to those in Live Trace, so it's difficult to translate one set of settings into the other.
With Image Trace, I cannot get the same results as with Live Trace, and so far, have found myself having to have Illustrator CS5 open at the same time as CS6, just so I can get workable traces.
I don't know if it's possible, but is there any way to import the presets from Live Trace, or even the full tool, into CS6, to replace the new Image Trace presets?how to make the equivelant of Comic Art in Image Trace's new settings?This is a close up of a file I was trying to trace, showing the major difference in quality between the two CS versions.
Left: CS5 - Comic Art setting.
Right: CS6 - This is a custom setting, but is the closest I have come to Comic Art thus far.
As you can see, the definition of Image Trace is far lower in quality than Live Trace, giving me one large connected blob of colour rather than the distictly separate lines produced in Live Trace.
I just started using CS6, jumping from CS3. A major tool I use is Live Trace, and I have custom settings for that. I cannot find a way to make Image Trace behave the way Live Trace did for black and white line drawings. The results I get in CS6 are far inferior to those I got in CS3 in terms of retaining the look of the original raster image. Otherwise, I will have to leave CS3 installed just to do my Live Trace.
Here is a sample of what I mean. You can see the quality degredation in CS6 compared to CS3. (And it's much more obvious when it's full size and full resolution.)
My settings used in Live Trace (CS3) were:
The settings I tried in CS6 that gave the above result were:

I have this consistent problem, can duplicate it.
1-create new document
2-create a simple vector shape (rectangle, circle, etc.)
3-Convert to bitmap (i used default settings)
4-Trace (I used LOGO, but I don't think it matters)
5-Undo until it's vector again.
Program closes.
I am using Corel Draw X4 to create stuff to cut on a laser engraving system and am having trouble with the bitmap trace function. For example: I create a line of text. First, I convert it to a bitmap. Then I trace the bitmap using the logo option. After doing this, when I move the text on the page, it appears several of the letters (the tall ones like capital letters and so forth) are missing during the moving process, but when I stop moving it, they appear again.
My problem is when I save the file and then open it in my laser program, these missing letters that are present when I move the text in corel draw translate into missing letters in the laser program, so it seems this is a Corel Draw problem but I don't know how to get rid of it.
I am running a Windows XP machine with Corel Draw X6 (32 Bit) and under the Trace Bitmap option, Quick Trace will work but anything under the Centerline Trace and Outline Trace options will upset Corel Draw and freeze. The program does not say "Not Responding" but no functions will work or the mouse will not change cursor and the only way to exit is to end the task.I have run updates on the program and upgraded to X6.1 but with no luck, still the same issue.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a question about using the outline trace function and resolution of images.
Say for instance, I am trying to create an existing logo for a customer in which I have to pull the image off the internet. I am unable to find an image that is high resolution, so I pick one with a lower resolution, because after all, I am going to trace the logo to cut out on my cutter with a heat transfer application. It is a simple design, a heart for instance. So when I use Corel Trace, no matter how small beforehand I make said heart, when it traces it comes out jagged, like the pixelation you see on a low res image. Is there any way to smooth this out? Or do I just need to look harder for a higher res image?
I design t-shirts and one of our biggest customers sells signature shirts. Below is an example of the problem I'm having. The second image is the original and the first one is what happens after I convert to a bitmap and outline trace.
There are always at least 2-3 names with missing letters or filled in letters. I've adjusted the detail etc while tracing but doesn't seem to work. I'm on the verge of losing a very important customer. We've also had to redo several orders because the "glitch" wasn't caught before production.
Whenever I use the Trace option to convert, the result is an image filled with closed objects. Because I use vector images with a laser machine, and because the laser cuts everything it reads, the "double" lines (shared lines of the objects) get cut as many times as they appear. So I have to go in and break apart and delete segments & this goes on for days. I've tried welding, but welding makes one of the objects disappear completely. I've tried changing from cdr to svg, exporting & importing, hoping it would simplify, but that doesn't work either. Is there a way to have the bitmap converted to simple lines instead of overlapping objects?

View 2 Replies View Relatedbest way of converting some inked line drawings into vectors. I currently do a lot of fabric designs which consist of very simple line drawings, which I then ink up. What I'd like to do is scan these in and then fill them. I'd also like to be able to resize them, hence the vector conversion.
I've had a play with the Live Trace feature in Illustrator, but have to admit that it baffles me slightly. I currently can't find a setting within Live Trace that will trace the image without increasing the size of the stroke - e.g. all the presets just turn my nice fine sketches into big fat black splodges.
I am also having trouble in taking the converted Vectors and transfering them over to Photoshop - any time I either try to copy the layer directly over or open the saved Illustrator file in Photoshop it comes out all jagged.
someone will be able to describe the steps I need to take to do the following:
1. Convert a line drawing into a Vector without drastically increasing the line weights.
2. Take this new Vector from Illustrator to Photoshop without losing any image quality.
On flash often I see trace bitmap to simplfy and smooth down images and avoid pixelation, can this type of act happen within photoshop?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to figure out how to go about tracing the image below, but I'm not having much luck.
The shape itself is quite simple, and yet I'm not sure where to start. I figure once I get one of the leaf shapes I can rotate it 6 times to make the inner star. As for the outer shells, I don't really have a game plan since the inner star creates the center of the six outer shells.
The image itself looks hand drawn, but the shape could obviously be created to be symmetrical. Which brings me to my next point. Symmetry. Using guides and the rotate tool seems like it should be enough to keep things lined up correctly. Yes?
I recently received a new Imac running 10.8.6 and when I attach a digital camera the images go directly to iphoto and yet I don't see any trace of the camera on my desktop or in my finder and therefore can't import them onto my hard drive as customary. if this is an issue with photoshop 5 that will be transparent if I upgrade to photoshop 6? or is there a download that will address this issue is PS

I drew a line art picture, traced over it in pen, scanned it into Illustrator.
I selected the autotrace tool and clicked it on the lines, it didn't work. I clicked IN the lines, and it traced around the lines...see attachment. Also it left out a bunch of shapes.
I'm rather confused. Should I just not use auto trace for this? If so, what's the better tool?
You know how you see the pictures that are traced via illustrator and such? well, is there a filter for this in photoshop? one to download? ive tried doing the tracing and such, well......doesnt come out so well But anytype of filter etc.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am trying to trace MRI scans with the Adobe Illustrator trace tool. I have been experimenting with the presnts in order to get the image I want and I have an example posted on this blog: [URL] .....
My goal is to produce easier to follow drawings for audiences who are not used to seeing MRI scans and at the same time avoid any copyright violations by using somebody else's images.
As you can see it does a fair job of outlining the brain but misses a lot of gray details in the center of the image.
How to trace these details? I used to be able to do this by hand, so I think that it is probably possible.
I am using AI CS4 and Win 7. For those who have used it is the trace tool in CS6 better?
