Convert images to vector outlines

TraceLine converts scanned and imported bitmap graphics to scalable outlines that can be used in other applications for any use. TraceLine can be used by anyone that wants to:

• Convert hand drawn sketches to editable paths
• Convert logos and graphics to editable paths
• Convert photos to editable paths

It's easy:

	Sketch Sketch out your design on paper.
	Scan Scan your design directly into TraceLine, or import an image from file.
	Create Trace your design and transfer it to your favourite graphics application.

Convert monochrome and colour images

TraceLine converts both monochrome and colour images. Simply specify the number of colours you wish to produce and TraceLine automatically carries out the colour reduction. The resulting colour blocks are calculated at the average value and you can see a visualisation before tracing. Click on the thumbnail to see a larger picture.

Complete control

Preset tracing "templates" offer quick and easy configuration for different types of images such as cartoon, text and photo. Full control over all the conversion options is available and you can even save your own settings as templates. Click on the thumbnail to see a larger picture of the tracing options dialogue.

Edit the outlines after conversion

Image conversions nearly always require "tweaking". TraceLine includes powerful tools to make the job easy. Individual lines and curves can be manipulated simply by dragging. Points (nodes) can be moved, deleted, added, broken and joined. You can even draw your own lines and curves to add new elements. Click on the thumbnail to see a larger picture.

Flexible colouring

Colour your outlines simply using the colour palette. The colour editor allows you to mix your own colours and drop them into the palette or directly onto any closed outline object. You can also drag and drop colours from the palette to colour objects. You can even colour objects within a group this way.
