Heuristic settings like "Curves" and "Islands" are often used to control the smoothing and simplification of vector paths or shapes. Curves: Slider + (Increase): Increasing the Curves setting typically makes paths or lines smoother and more flowing. It reduces the number of control points in a path, for simpler and cleaner shapes. Slider - (Decrease): Decreasing the Curves setting introduces more control points making paths or lines more jagged or complex. For adding fine details or precisely replicating hand-drawn lines. Islands: Slider + (Increase): Increasing the Islands setting often merges nearby shapes or paths that are nearly touching or overlapping. For simplifying complex illustrations by automatically combining similar elements. Slider - (Decrease): Decreasing the Islands setting may separate shapes or paths that are very close together. Useful when you want to maintain distinct boundaries between objects. Behavior varies between different vector apps and software, they may also be labeled differently or use different terminology. However, the general idea is to provide control over the level of smoothing and complexity in your vector artwork.
I've never seen or at least never noticed that. What is equally strange is, that it's actually not a cut out or intersection of that tree, but some of the negative space between the branches and the leaves, as if it was a difference operation with an invisible object. Great video! Also I had no idea, that the Pixel Art tab was to vectorize low resolution pixel art, and not to create pixel art from a higher resolution bitmap; no wonder my PC died, when I tried it out when they added it ^^
@@SweaterCatDesigns Ok thanks! I went ahead and made a nice aqua colored one. I traced out the original with the bezier tool duplicated everything 3 times and inset. And adjusted colors for each layer moved nodes around on the lighter colors to get close as I could to the original. And the snow was just one bezier layer above everything else.
@@SweaterCatDesigns Thanks I finally figured out how to import the inkscape logo from within inkscape. Its just nice to see how its really made. I plan to build the one in your tutorial as well. Very nice work!
sir, sometimes we don't get the smooth tracing of images, while using the trace bitmap, how can we get the smoothest tracing kindly help us , love u lot.
You can try changing the Threshold setting, but unfortunately, Trace Bitmap doesn't work very well unless there is very high contrast between the part of the image you want and the rest of the image. If you don't need it to be vector, sometimes it's better to just use the pen tool to trace around the part of the image you want, like I do at the beginning of this video: th-cam.com/video/noz2Wi7K4MU/w-d-xo.html.
Hey everyone, be sure to check out part two of the series, about clipping and masking, here: th-cam.com/video/pCB_yihuq6s/w-d-xo.html
Explained like an expert
This is a very informative tutorial, directly to the point, precise and concise.
Very much appreciate your hard work on making these tutorials.
Thanks!

Very good to know, thanks a lot!
Very detailed and advanced trace bitmap class. Highly appreciate your hard work.
Thanks a lot!
I use inkscape a lot. i will be waiting for your next one. Lot of good info here.
Thank you!
Very helpful and informative. Thanks for taking the time to make this. It helped me out a lot.
Great tutorial, Thanks!!
Well done. TY
Great work.
Does anyone know why it left some of the tracing outside of the logo after doing an Intersection between the circle and the tracing at 15:15?
I've never seen or at least never noticed that.

good work man!
Thanks a lot!
what version of inkscape are you using
I Love this but I need to take a gold glitter from 1 photo and change the black of another photo do you have a video for this Thank you
Great. Will there be any more videos? Two so far.
For sure!
Hi Sweater Cat Designs! Can you do a tutorial on how to make the Inkscape logo itself?
I could, but it's actually available to download and use in your projects here: commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Inkscape_logo_(2-colour).svg

what is the virgin of inkscape?
1.2
@@SweaterCatDesigns how can I change the icons from right to left? because the tools on my right
@@TheMaster-em2fu If you go up to the View menu, there's a "Wide Screen" option at the bottom. Unchecking that should put the tools on the right side.
@@SweaterCatDesigns there is no Unchecking that should put the tools on the right side.
