I know this is a bad image. When I trace it,
Try increasing the threshold value and see if it helps.
I tried that with no luck. But thank you!
There are several options online if you look for ‘Bitmap to Vector Image Converter’. If you have access to Illustrator or a similar program they usually have the option to do this as well.
Try downloading the free Inkscape. Open the image in Inkscape and highlight the image. Then go to Path menu and trace bitmap. There are controls on the side you can increase intensity and others. Then apply and Save As SVG. The Inkscape SVG works but is 72 DPI and the Plain SVG saves at 96 DPI which is the native mode in CC.
I’ll give it a try. Thanks!
@Tod1d Thank you sooo much! It worked perfect! How did you do it?
Pulled the image up in Gimp, adjusted the contrast/brightness to get rid of the shadow, Then drew a new solid line over the text.
Manually drawing vectors is your friend. You can always adjust them to fit the bitmap. Most of the time it is faster (with practice).
Did you trace it by hand? Nice work.
Sorry, just saw your comment up there. I agree with CrookedWoodTex. I manually trace mine most of the time. Especially when you are creating layered images for multiple pieces of wood or acrylic. But it is an acquired skill for sure.
Have you ever thought of using “WhatTheFont” ??
Sometimes it is easier to find the font you need and use that instead of any extensive work trying to “fix” a problem created in transfers and imports of graphic images.
