For typical consumer-grade scanners, it rarely makes sense to scan at higher than 300 dpi, as scanners are mostly hallucinating any details at a higher resolution anyway. Make sure your scan bed is clean and dust free. While such features do enhance certain aspects of the scanned result from an aesthetic perspective, they only make it harder to vectorize. Turn off any unsharp mask or other contrast or edge-enhancing features. Do not use the color scan mode, as this leads to undesired color artifacts in the scan around shape boundaries.įor color source materials, use the color scan setting.Do not choose the black and white scan mode, as this results in loss of data through quantization.I have found:įor black and white or grayscale source material, choose the grayscale scanning option. The following remarks are guidelines only please experiment with your particular hardware, software, and source material to find the best choices for your particular case. Scanning hardware and software varies between manufacturers, so I will keep my remarks as general as possible. With those caveats in mind, you can also use the Online Edition to follow this tutorial.īest practices for scanning art that will be vectorized The user interface looks slightly different, and there's no transparency support. The Online Edition is very similar to the Fully Automatic mode in the Desktop Edition. You can download a trial version from the desktop application page.
This tutorial uses Vector Magic Desktop Edition.
What kind of images does this tutorial apply to? In this tutorial, we explain how to use Vector Magic to perform this conversion quickly and easily. This process is called tracing or vectorization, and can either be done manually or using an automatic tool. This tutorial describes how to convert a scanned image into vector art.
