What Is Trace and Detach in Silhouette?

Trace and Detach in Silhouette is a feature that allows users to easily convert a bitmap, like an image or logo, into a vector file. This makes it easier for users to manipulate the design and get it ready for production. It also allows them to quickly edit and update their designs without having to completely redraw them.

When using Trace and Detach in Silhouette, users can choose between two different modes: Outline Trace and Detailed Trace. Outline Trace is the simplest option and only traces the outline of an image, such as a logo.

Detailed Trace is more complex and traces individual elements within the bitmap, such as lines, text, or shapes. Both options produce a vector file that can then be edited further.

The trace process begins by selecting the image that you want to trace. You can either upload an image from your computer or use an online image source. Once you have chosen an image, you will need to select the type of trace that you would like to use by clicking on either Outline Trace or Detailed Trace.

Once you have selected the type of trace that you would like to use, Silhouette will begin tracing your image. Depending on the complexity of the image and the type of trace selected, this process may take several minutes. Once complete, Silhouette will generate a vector file with all of the traced elements.

In conclusion, Trace and Detach in Silhouette is an invaluable feature for designers who want to quickly convert their bitmap images into vector files for further editing. It provides two different types of tracing options – Outline Trace and Detailed Trace – so users can choose which one is best suited for their project. With this powerful feature at their disposal, designers are able to create high quality digital artwork with ease.
