Welcome to the Inkscape Master Series, a series of lessons for those of you who are looking for more advanced Inkscape tutorials. In each lesson of the series, we'll cover a specific topic in a lot of detail, then we'll apply what we learned by creating a sample project.
In this lesson, we'll learn all about the Trace Bitmap Dialog and how we can use it to turn an image into a logo and add texture to our artwork.

Heuristic settings like "Curves" and "Islands" are often used to control the smoothing and simplification of vector paths or shapes. Curves: Slider + (Increase): Increasing the Curves setting typically makes paths or lines smoother and more flowing. It reduces the number of control points in a path, for simpler and cleaner shapes. Slider - (Decrease): Decreasing the Curves setting introduces more control points making paths or lines more jagged or complex. For adding fine details or precisely replicating hand-drawn lines. Islands: Slider + (Increase): Increasing the Islands setting often merges nearby shapes or paths that are nearly touching or overlapping. For simplifying complex illustrations by automatically combining similar elements. Slider - (Decrease): Decreasing the Islands setting may separate shapes or paths that are very close together. Useful when you want to maintain distinct boundaries between objects. Behavior varies between different vector apps and software, they may also be labeled differently or use different terminology. However, the general idea is to provide control over the level of smoothing and complexity in your vector artwork.

Does anyone know why it left some of the tracing outside of the logo after doing an Intersection between the circle and the tracing at 15:15?

@Null8fuenf10 Жыл бұрын

I've never seen or at least never noticed that. What is equally strange is, that it's actually not a cut out or intersection of that tree, but some of the negative space between the branches and the leaves, as if it was a difference operation with an invisible object. Great video! Also I had no idea, that the Pixel Art tab was to vectorize low resolution pixel art, and not to create pixel art from a higher resolution bitmap; no wonder my PC died, when I tried it out when they added it ^^

Hi Sweater Cat Designs! Can you do a tutorial on how to make the Inkscape logo itself?

I could, but it's actually available to download and use in your projects here: commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Inkscape_logo_(2-colour).svg

@@SweaterCatDesigns Ok thanks! I went ahead and made a nice aqua colored one. I traced out the original with the bezier tool duplicated everything 3 times and inset. And adjusted colors for each layer moved nodes around on the lighter colors to get close as I could to the original. And the snow was just one bezier layer above everything else.

@@SweaterCatDesigns Thanks I finally figured out how to import the inkscape logo from within inkscape. Its just nice to see how its really made. I plan to build the one in your tutorial as well. Very nice work!

sir, sometimes we don't get the smooth tracing of images, while using the trace bitmap, how can we get the smoothest tracing kindly help us , love u lot.

@SweaterCatDesigns Жыл бұрын

You can try changing the Threshold setting, but unfortunately, Trace Bitmap doesn't work very well unless there is very high contrast between the part of the image you want and the rest of the image. If you don't need it to be vector, sometimes it's better to just use the pen tool to trace around the part of the image you want, like I do at the beginning of this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pNWqZbqanLGYfYk.html.
