Trace bitmap does not work (at all or leaves the image as bitmap)
Steps to reproduce:
Hi,
I've been given a pdf with a raster image, that I have to vectorize (see attached files)
The procedure I follow is the one provided in the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kifHPAezh8A
- Using Inksapce version 0.92.4 from PortableApps in windows 7
- Import the image
- Resize document to image
- Select image
- Path > Trace bitmap
What happened?
-
A few minutes ago, I had a pop up, now I have absolutely nothing...
-
When I had the popup, I selected multipass > color > 20/30/40 and most of the time clicking OK did nothing, sometimes I obtained a rolling wheel, the a modified image (smoothed-low color nb) but the image was still a raster, not a vectorized one.
-
Behaviour is different if I import the pdf (never see the pop up) or the png ( sometimes see the popup, but does not work)
What should have happened?
- I should always see a pop-up when I click "Path > Trace bitmap"
- I should always obtain a rolling wheel (==running process) & modified image when I select Update/OK in the pop up
- The resulting image should always be a vector image, not a raster one
- Behaviour should be the same whatever the format of the imported image.
Inkscape Version and Operating System:
- Inkscape Version: 0.92.4
- Operating System: windows
- Operating System version: 7
