Vector Tracing

In vector tracing, software tools like Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, or Inkscape detect the shapes, colors, and lines in the original image and recreate them as paths or curves (such as Bezier curves). These vector paths can then be scaled to any size without losing clarity or resolution, making them ideal for logos, illustrations, and print materials.

There are two main types of vector tracing:

• Manual Tracing: An artist or designer redraws the image using vector drawing tools, offering maximum control and accuracy.

• Automatic Tracing: Software analyzes the raster image and generates vector paths automatically, which is faster but may require refinement for complex or detailed images.
