While familiar with the camera obscura controversy of Renaissance art, that's not what we're talking about here. Tinkering with some settings aside, I would strongly recommend against equating Trace Bitmap, as the first and only step, with the creating of art.

But it is only to demonstrate that Inkscape is capable of creating good quality vectors (not just cartoon characters).but as always it is up to the user to get those results. Also please note that this tends to slow down the computer alot.

Below the section that says 'Multi scans: creates a group of paths' you will have an option to select 'Gray' or 'Colours'ĥ) What this tool does is recreate your image but in vector graphics (if you select grays the image will be in black and white and if you select colours, the image will be in colour.Ħ) You will see it will recreate the image in vector but the vector graphics does not tend to be good quality.

You can simple drag the image in Inkscape for this.Ģ) Select 'Path' on the menu at the top of the software.Ĥ) Now a popup box will appear. There is a useful tool that can trace images.ġ) Place your image in Inkscape. For me Inkscape is a great piece of kit, especially considering it is free and yes you can make realistic looking vector. it is difficult to give you a difinative answer. As you have probably seen from other peoples post.
