Trace Bitmap leaves image Blurred & Distorted 0.92

Postby annehuffman » Sat Feb 18, 2017 4:35 am

yesterday when I trace any file, color or black & white the preview shows fine but the results is blurred and distorted looking. Options Tab are at default because I clicked RESET button. Please see picture. How can I fix this? I uninstalled 0.92 and installed latest 0.92.1 and same issue. Thanks

Wow, something definitely went wrong there! I haven't seen that before.

Can you share the original image, so I can test? Theoretically, it could be a new bug, but much testing would need to happen, before we say that for sure.

(Btw, what is that - SuperBatman or BatSuperman?

Edit
I can barely make out a watermark on that image. I've never heard of this before, but maybe there's something about the image that prevents it from being copied?

Strange! What operation system do you use?
On my Win7/64, Inkscape 0.92.0 everything works fine. I used the same settings as in your screenshot.
Could it be that you accidentially hit some key combinations?
For example, having selected your object while pressing Ctrl+L several times will simplify the path of the object and it looks like on the right ;)

Did you lower the numeric precision for SVG output? Try the solution described in this earlier topic: or search the forum for the terms 'numeric precision'.

We still don't have the original to test with. And there's every chance that ~suv has nailed it.

But if I put Suppress Speckles (Options tab) all the way up to 1000, I get a somewhat similar result on a line drawing with black lines with similar widths.
