I have a jpg file that is not very sharp as you can see in the upper left. I tried a couple of trace bitmap options but nothing came out very good, lots of little objects everywhere (upper right) and uneven paths, I tried the simplify command but it was still far from good. So I decided to do it by hand but not sure how I can get the double outline look for cutting.
So on the lower left I show part of the image and how many points there are even after I "simplify" d it. On the lower left I show just a path (thick 10 px) I made from my bezier tool that mimics it. So I like this path. I tried duplicating it and doing either outset or inset to try and get the "outline effect" so that I can cut this outline. Everything came out really far away from what I intended. Is there an easy way of doing this that I am missing? Just duplicating and moving doesn't work.
does that make sense? I just want to create a simple path like the one on the lower left but it be cut as an outline... I iuse inkscape and signcut and was wondering if anyone had any ideas. I could clean up the trace but will take forever. Also tracing each side of the outline will be very time consuming in order to make it evenly spaced.
Thanks!
So many ideas... so little time!
