INKSCAPE TRACE BITMAP BREAK APART PC
I've not got access to lightburn on this PC (its on my other) and that could offer a better vectorizing option. I had a go to see if I could find a solution quickly and learn something else myself. it probably could have been better hence I did a search for the font as that would probably offer you a better finish and cleaner solution for your client (+ you can add the cost of the font onto his bill ) I opened the image in GIMP and was getting rid of the background (using the magic wand or fuzzy selection tool) and then saved it as a PNG and imported into inkscape and although I got a better image. The bigger letters were not a problem, the smaller ones where there was more blending was an issue. Hope this helps! Took me ages to figure out what was happening.I tried to get a better conversion for you, the problem is the colours don't have much contrast so the photo / image uses antialiasing to smooth / guess the pixel colour so it doesn't make it very smooth. When you reselect the parts of your original trace you want to turn into new shapes, and run the "Combine" command, Inkscape realises that what you had selected is a single shape, and applies the negative-shape rule again, so your vectors look as they should with holes in places you expect them. The "break apart" command breaks every shape in your graphic into a separate shape, and since they are no longer part of the same shape, Inkscape fills them with the colour of the original shape (in this case black). To make a hole (negative space) in your shape, it makes another shape inside your outer shape, but since it's part of the same shape, Inkscape knows it's a hole instead of two different shapes stacked on top of eachother. Why does this happen? Inkscape treats the result of your bitmap trace as one large vector shape. drag a selection box around each piece you want to make a new object out of, and select Path -> Combine (this will have the effect of making your negative shapes back into holes in your object, and creating a new shape from what you have selected. Choose Path -> "Break apart" (this will turn every part of your graphic into an ungrouped shape, and turn the negative shapes in your objects black, but don't worry about that just yet.)ģ. If you are just tracing a bitmap to black vector, and you want to separate pieces of the results into different objects, you need to do these things:Ģ.
PS - I'll move this to the Cutters/Plotters forum, so others like you can find it easier, because we do get this question from time to time But first, create new layers either from Layer menu > Add layer, or open Layers dialog and click the + sign. Move to a new layer by Shift + Pg Up, or Pg Dn (or Layer menu > Move to layer above, or below).
Instead, you can select each object below by using Alt + click with Selection tool.
Because unless you unchecked "Stack scans", the original will be on top, and it might not be readily obvious that the trace was successful. For best results, do not actually pull them apart, except to confirm your trace (then Undo). (Although if your white is really transparent over a white background, you won't have a white one, just several grays and a black one.)Īnyway, once you ungroup them, you will be able to select them individually, move to a new layer, and apply color.
INKSCAPE TRACE BITMAP BREAK APART PLUS
Since I don't know any more about your original than 'black and white', I'm not sure, but you might either end up with 2 "layers" (in the z order) a black one and a white one (group of 2), or more likely several in the group, of varying shades of gray, plus a black one and a white one.
After you do the Trace Bitmap, instead of Break Apart, you should do Ungroup (from the Selection tool control bar button or Object menu). Hhm, well I don't know what a "digistamp" is, but I can understand "black and white", lol.
