Designer traces an image by searching it for color or grayscale variations. When the color difference is great enough, Designer draws a line between the different colors.
When Designer finishes tracing, the original bitmap image is behind the tracing and the tracing is selected.
Tracing an Entire Bitmap Image
Press and hold SHIFT and click the bitmap image.
Tracing a Rectangular Area of a Bitmap Image
Select the bitmap image and drag a rectangle over an area of the image. The area in the rectangle is traced.
Tracing an Object in a Bitmap Image
Well-defined areas in an image are called objects. For example, in an image containing a beach ball in the ocean, the beach ball is an object. The more an object contrasts with its surrounding area, the more successful the tracing will be.
To trace an object, select the image and click inside the object to trace it.
Press ESC to stop a trace before it is completed.
