Trace Bitmap problem?

Postby Belinda1 » Tue Apr 26, 2011 9:01 pm

Hello,

I'm new to using Inkscape so sorry if this question is a bit basic. :oops:
I'm using Inkspace 0.48
I am trying to learn Inkscape from the online book "Inkscape:A Guide To Vector Program"
I am stuck in the Quick Start section " The Northern Pacific Railway Logo" :oops:

I'm using the Trace Bitmap dialog and should get the following.

Here is what I get

How do get the paths spread out as separate images as shown in the instructions?

Thanking you in anticipation :D

They don't!- The tutorial is just showing you what they look like, the results are always stacked.

Actually there's a checkbox along the bottom for "Stack Scans". I think if you uncheck that, the scans are side-by-side. I think, lol!
