The Complete Guide To Using Trace Bitmap in Inkscape

Couldn't you speak slower? Are you hungry?

Remember that if the result comes out inverted, there's a checkbox available in the same Dialogue, to counteract this inversion.

I work on inkscape on the pxl

Hey nick, from my understanding there are new options for tracing bitmaps would be a great opportunity for a new video in this subject <3

i like your music! :)

I still don't care what you talk about. I just come to listen to your voice and the music. : )

Sort of just kidding. I love your voice and the music, but the info you give is always so helpful. Thank you for videos that keep on giving. (May 2023)

Bro tell me how to save the BMP bitmap image in inkscape

How to save BMP bitmap image

This video explains quite a bit. Thanks.

I found this feature great to combine with "simplify path " for creating some cartoon type characters! Just grab some photo of some interesting person and make simple cartoonized character!

Nice video, thanks :)

I’ve been struggling to figure this out and this video helped so much, you’re a lifesaver man thank you

Thank you.

This is exactly what I need to save time converting my Magna Doodle drawings into 2D Game Sprites! Thank you and the Devs!!

Is there a way to isolate a color? For example, what if I just want to scan only the red part of the guitar and ignore the rest?

I see why you have the most subs of people doing tutorials. Hands down the best

wish tNice tutorials could be

what is name software?

The trace bitmap feature is not working. When I import my image and go to the Trace...Bitmap...and when the window opens and I hit the Live Preview nothing shows up in the box and no layer is created. What do I do?

THANKS!

Thanks mate 🙏

In B&W does the white get removed automatically?

Need some help here please, When I do this. Whenever I click update it says select an image to trace It also has no preview image when clicking update aswell.

Incredible

Ok that's pretty good. I was looking for an auto tracing alternative to adobe. 👍🏻

thank you kindly!

Can you share what are the specs of your pc? So i know what you mean by powerful? Thanks

Thanks.

Never thought I'd miss CorelDraw!

super awesome tutorial. I have been using inskape for a few years now and I love how sharp it makes the vector images. I use this feature to screen print super clear and sharp artwork on shirts and wood. it is priceless. thanks again.

Great tutorial. A quick question: what is the difference between "open" vs. "import", and "save" vs. "export" a document?
Many thanks!

So when I use regular bezier tool and using left click try to make curves, i find it difficult to make my next curve as it forces me to curve in the opposite direction. So say I make a curve towards the left hand side by drawing a line and then using left click, to make the next curve on the same side there is simply no option as it doesn't curve on the left hand side no matter what i do, moreover it suggests to curve towards the right hand side. It is super frustrating and making is impossible it to trace anything.

does the bitmap tracing work only with white background? I've been trying with white text on black background without success. Any advice?

LMAO, and I thought Adobe Illustrator's tracing is terrible. 😆 This is easily several tiers above that in terribleness. I do wonder why no major general-purpose vector editing applicaton can get tracing right. At least specialized apps exist...

very interesting! thank you!

I came here looking for this function but to "auto trace" better for simpler stuff, like 2D logos?
As example, I wanted to parody a Harley Davdson logo, I just wanted the "shield" shape to write something else inside, but I couldn't get it auto traced easily, it ended all wobbly and imperfect, with corned rounded and stuff, so I traced it manually, there is a way I could get more perfect for more simple shapes?

please make a tutorial on how to make pixel art in gimp .

Thank you this help a lot man

What if my image is Solid white text with a transparent background that is showing to be Solid white?

How on earth are EVERY SINGLE ONE of your videos so good?

thank you for this tutorial!

Hi Nick, This is super helpful. I am looking to create simple outlined images in black. Is there a simple way to maintain black borders around an image and eliminate the color within the image using trace bitmap? The end result I am after would look like a coloring book picture of the image. Does that make sense? Thanks! Jane

Your videos are VERY helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make them.

"average consumable computer" that hurts :")

I really don't understand Inkscape. If I press "update", it only works one time. Then any change in the trace bitmap function does not work anymore no matter what I select and how many times I press "update". Same thing for the filters, it just won't apply to my picture. Not sure what I'm doing wrong...

I love your tutorials! I have to play them in half speed but I appreciate how informative and concise they are

What does it mean if no preview shows up?

Crucial step: Prepare or optimize the bitmap in bitmap software first where you have much better control, before doing vector versions. Posterize filter, or exaggerate contrast, curves and levels carefully in Photoshop or Photopea with the vector versions you want in mind.
