Trace bitmap with Smiler Logo

Postby AdamSkelecoot » Sat Oct 01, 2016 4:02 am

Hey!
I'm relatively new to Inkscape, only using it a few times. I'm trying to get a vector of the Smiler logo through trace bitmap, but, since the logo has unbordered white parts (i.e, the teeth and white spirals), I get a white square and yellow spirals. What am I doing wrong?
(Sorry if this has been already been posted by me, I don't know if the other post actually posted)

Hi.

Don't think you did it wrong, would suggest starting with the logo having a black background instead.

Agree - but then, if they are unbordered I would assume it's on a black background. Check to see the option for invert image is unchecked - although theoretically, that would mean both spirals and teeth come out.

Are you sure there aren't any paths that are just white and you aren't seeing it?
