Question about

Postby BillWeaver » Thu May 08, 2014 10:33 pm

Hello,

I've started to use inkscape recently at home. Since at work we use Adobe Ilustrator i have a newbie question - does inkscape have function similar to livetrace from AI??
If so where can I find it, and how reliable is it?

"The results really speak for themselves. Both Inkscape and Illustrator did an adequate job, but Inkscape in my option was far superior, especially where lines intersect or change direction. Now, this is with the preset results and no messing around like I did in Illustrator. If Inkscape can improve its interface and explain parameters better, it will be a far better tool."

Have a nice day.

I'm using Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06), 64 bit win8.1

The Inkscape manual has lots of helpful info! http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/
