Convert Digital Photos as Entities Solid or Lines

The program vectorizes digital photos as color fillings in the form of an colored element Solid or color horizontal Line. Solids are very fast rectangle hatches used in CAD systems.

Option: Vectorize Small Details Using Separate Method

  • The small details will be vectorized separately using the method of Center Line Tracing or Solid Hatch Creation (Solidization).

Close Open Pixel Traces

  • Often older scanned drawings will contain open pixel traces. This setting will prompt the program to close these open spaces.

Cleanup of Free Pixels

  • Often older scanned drawings will have free pixels. Selecting this feature will ensure the removal of these unwanted pixels, for a cleaner converted file.

Repair Raster Pictures using Blurring

  • A good method to repair bad quality scanned images is to blur these images and then convert them into black/white images using the threshold. By blurring, the free pixels are removed, and the holes in the pixel traces are closed.

Double Resolution During Vectorization

  • The image is vectorized in double resolution. Thus, the small details are better recognized. However, the vectorization time increases significantly, and the vectorization of larger details is of poor quality.

Fill Small Holes in Pixel Traces

  • This setting fills the small holes in the pixel traces.

Fill all Holes in Pixel Traces

  • This setting allows all holes in the pixel traces to be filled.

Thicken Pixel Traces

  • This setting will add a layer of pixels to the outer edge of the pixel trace.

Thin the Pixel Traces

  • This setting removes one layer of pixels from the outer edge of the pixel trace.
