How Do You Use the Trace Panel in Silhouette Studio?

The Trace Panel in Silhouette Studio is a powerful tool for those who want to create intricate designs from bitmap images. It allows users to trace their own artwork and vectorize it, allowing them to cut it out in a variety of shapes and sizes.

With the Trace Panel, users can also manipulate the vectorized artwork, making it easier to customize their own designs.

To use the Trace Panel, users first need to import an image file into Silhouette Studio. Once imported, the user can select the image and open up the Trace Panel located on the right-hand side of the screen. The panel contains several settings which can be adjusted manually or automatically to refine the tracing results.

Threshold: The threshold setting is used to determine how much of a black and white contrast is needed for the tracing process. Users can adjust this setting until they get a trace that is as accurate as possible.

Noise Reduction: The noise reduction setting reduces any additional noise that may be present in the image, such as dots or scratches. This helps make sure that only relevant details are traced.

Clipping Mask: A clipping mask is used when an image has multiple layers or objects. If a user wants to trace only certain parts of an image, they can use this setting to select which parts should be included in their final trace.

Smoothing: This setting smoothes out any jagged edges that may be present in a bitmap image after it has been vectorized. This helps make sure that all lines will look smooth when cut out with a Silhouette machine.
