You can change the color, if it's not quite right. So to get one path for one object, you might have to look at 3 or 4 different scans, and choose the one that's closest to the right size and shape. And what happens is that at the border of 2 colors in a raster (bitmap) image, it might show strips of several colors transitioning from one to the other.
It doesn't seem like my image actually has 60 colors in it, but I found that I had to use 60 scans to get accurrate colors. From here, depending on the complexity of your image, it might be nearly impossible to select a particular color/path/object, and if that's the case, I can take you through some steps to do so. The status bar will now say "60 objects of type Path".
Next select the Group of 60, and Ungroup (Object menu or in command bar). If you've selected the traces, it will say Group of 60 (in my example). Be sure to watch the status bar, to see whether you've selected the original (Image 160 x 193 for mine) or the traces. It's stacked up with all the traces, making it hard to see your result. So you can use those areas for illustration.Īfter the trace is completed, use Alt + click to locate your original image, and move it aside. Also, I realize you said your doesn't have any borders/strokes, but there are areas in my example where there isn't black outline. I chose an image which might fit your description of your image (although yours sounds more like a map, I don't have an image of a map), and you can see the settings that I used. All I can say, is have a look and give it a try.įor Trace Bitmap, I'll show you an example.
It's benefit is that is has a centerline trace option, which you might find works better for you. If you have time, there's another vectorization trace engine here: I can't say it's better or worse than Inkscape's native trace engine, but it just works differently, and produces a different result. It sounds like you've made a good start, and just need a little more patience, and more experimenting. Trace Bitmap is not meant to accurrately reproduce images, and as you've learned, is very tricky to use successfully with an image such as yours. I would 2nd BobSongs suggestions, plus add a couple more, and some comments.
