Thank you for this, you are an excellent teacher. I have watched many tutorials on this subject from others, and it's become apparent how they just rush through without explaining in detail all the correct steps to take to achieve good results. I wish I had discovered you earlier, I now enjoy using Inkscape!💠
Hello Lory, You know that I never get tired of seeing your clear and precise videos, so that a person like me can do something on the computer, I can gradually upload my artwork and vectorize them, thank you very much again!!!
Thanks for the tutorial! You really helped me out. At first I tried one of those online rasterisers, but they all wanted my money and I've almost fallen for their trickery. But then I found you video and turns out Inkscape is really darn cool.
I've been looking for this type of tutorial on the 1.0 version of Inkscape about the the trace bitmap. Had to go back to the old version just to use trace bitmap. Thanks for this awesome and informative video.
wonderful although i am not a designer or artist but i face day to day problem for getting svgs this video is very helpful i am a full stack developer working in angular, golang & oracle
Haha, too late for me! I wish I had come across this video before I decided to check out autotrace. My computer crashed. Twice! Because I was too dumb to realise autotrace caused it the first time. That was very informative with regards to what each tool does. Thank you! Edit: I vectorised my current profile picture following your tutorial, it's exactly how I wanted it, so thanks once again!
It worked really well! I made some circular kaleidescope designs using iOrnament Crafter and they made amazing vector graphics that I then turned into brushes (stamps) for photoshop and GIMP.
I saw it again and copied everything, step by step, but I will never do that ending hufff check the layers noo never, if I see the colors that look good on me that's enough!!! Thank you Lory.
Ah Lori, one question, you can vectorize without removing the background, right? I mean, without converting them to PNG? is that there are photos that would be with the background because they are part of the composition. Thank you very much.
Also what about vectorizing the whole image (including the background)? Just do the entire thing at once? Or trace it object by object (so I have to remove the unwanted objects first and leave the wanted object and repeat that process until it's done) or what?
You state to use the least number of scans necessary, why is this? Does it make the file really huge? I've got a watercolor image and unless I do like 30ish its missing major colors such as green for a tree against a brick background. Whats the best way to handle this? Thanks!!!
@@ArdentDesigns update * geez I figured it out... just needed to choose “open with” lol when I clicked smooth it seems to be fine now, I am totally new to Inkscape and vectors to sorry if I’m asking the obvious. I’m having two other issues, I can’t save to my pc , it saves online? When I open the saved image it keeps cutting of the image no matter what I transform it to? Thank you for you help
@@rmd9250 select the thing to be exported. Go to file -export. Choose selection in the export panel. Export as png. Pretty sure I have an export video on the channel. Or you can just save as svg.
@@marciamarcia7449 you can set the size to whatever you like/need. (1000x1000px for example) If uploading to a website that is your website, it is good practice to compress the image, but not necessary unless the website has a MB size requirement. (80 mb reduced to 10 mb for example). The reason for this is simple. Having thousands of images on a website over time will slow it down. (Ever visit a site that takes longer than 5 seconds to load? That is part of the problem). No, when you export as PNG it is an image. If the graphic exported as PNG at high quality, (300 dpi vs 96 dpi) it is great for print needs like print on demand. If you require vector, save as PDF, SVG. Most printers prefer PDF. POD sites use PNG at 300dpi for sharp crisp graphics.
The comments are right, you are an excellent teacher. This is just what I needed to get started in Inkscape. Thank you so much!

You explain things very well. I want to see more of your beginner videos. Thanks
Thank you! I'll see what I can do :)

This is exactly the information I was looking for! Thank you 😀🙌✨
Brilliant tutorial! This is the only reason I downloaded Inkscape! Affinity Designer doesn't have this feature yet...
Yes it's pretty cool. Hopefully Affinity gets it soon :)
Thanks so much for this tutorial. You were so easy to understand.
You're welcome! Glad to hear that :)
What a program!
If only it could export to Paintshop Pro vector format!
Wow, so many programs out there. Yeah, it would be nice if they all were compatible :)

Yeah, I guess you need to have a powerful computer with that function...ha! ha! It never worked for me either. Glad you were finally successful :)
Thank you for updating your tutorial, it helps a lot.
You're welcome!
I can’t believe it’s this easy! I’m going to try to turn my iOrnament designs into vector graphics so they can be made into stamps.
Wow, interesting idea!

Thank you! This one is what my commands look like :)
You're totally welcome. Yes, the different versions of Inkscape are a bit different for Trace bitmap. Glad it worked for you :)
Also what about vectorizing the whole image (including the background)? Just do the entire thing at once? Or trace it object by object (so I have to remove the unwanted objects first and leave the wanted object and repeat that process until it's done) or what?
Easy and really what I needed, thanks!
Thanks for making this video
You're welcome 🙂
Thank you so much for this video!
Fantastic, thanks a lot for the video.
Thank you so much!! This was the best
does auto trace give better quality?
you are superb!! i am making you my guru
Thanks :)

Yes, it can slow the program down on less powerful computers. Try and see what works for your needs. Only way to know :)
Very helpful dear. Thanks a lot
But what if the lines jagged? Can we edit the lines?
Loved this tutorial, thank you!
You're welcome 🙂
after I follow the steps and click "OK" it doesn't save the document...any ideas? I'm working with technical illustrations (black line images)
Go to File-Save. (Ctrl+S) to save an SVG to your computer. Save a PNG follow this tutorial th-cam.com/video/7VS45PO8ttk/w-d-xo.html
@@ArdentDesigns I was referring to a illustration software like affinity or Adobe illustrator
Thank you for simply explain شكراا ❤❤❤
Thanks, very helpful
great content
When I save mine n open it for my site it tells me the file is too big. How do I resize the vector image?
How do you export the svg file? I made the vector but it is only letting me export the png that I first started with
File-save as-then pop up window-the name file in the window, name location
Save :)
My image is pretty basic, a simple logo with a few words when I try to do the things you do my image is very pixelated , why is that?
It could be that your image resolution is quite small.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. But, when I finish the image & I wanna add it to my Wix site it tells me the image is too large.
Resize the image to something smaller. 1000 x 1000px or whatever. Then compress it in Tiny png online. It looks like Wix allows 15 mb size.
