Inkscape - Bucket trace and using layers

Postby newbiecat » November 26th, 2011, 3:41 am

Hello all

Another video - this one covers using the bucket to trace vector files and then how to create and use layers to send to signcut

Hope it is helpful

Pandora, Thank you so much for this video... it was VERY VERY helpful. I never knew that using the bucket tool was even possible to get a trace... I have been playing around with it most of the evening.. and it works great!!! I think it is going to make it a lot easier to get an outline for PnC (although I still need to work on getting my settings right). I can't wait to see more of your tutorials. I can use all the help I can get using Inkscape. I have watched each of your inkscape tutorials, and they were all great... keep them coming!!!!

Thanks Pandora - I used the bucket tool for tracking all the time, but had forgotten about the alpha feature!

I have never used the bucket tool so am eager to watch the video and learn. Thank you!
