Bitmap tracing lines w/o getting double lines

Post by FixitMike »

If you are Bitmap Tracing a bitmap with closed lines and don't want the double trace that occurs when tracing a line, use a paint program to fill in the closed area with a single color. (Paint.net uses the paint can.) Then you can trace the outline
only.

Paint.net is a free program, but it is not a site. You have to search "Download paint.net" to get it.
Good judgement comes from experience.
Experience comes from bad judgement.
