Note that the number of scans is 10, so I will get 10 colours. This using the gmic plug-in I mentioned earlier to remove the background: Įxported from Gimp as a png then into Inkscape to trace. Not so useful if the image is already a large size and is more complicated.Ĭonverting to a vector will usually reduce the number of colours and simplify shapes, That might be a good thing for printing on fabric. Especially useful for small simple images with few colours where scaling up in Gimp results in loss of definition/quality. A vector image can be scaled up or down without loss of quality. The main reason for converting to a vector image is for scaling. You check that, but the main one is pixel size. Look in the menu Image > Print size and there will be a ppi value. Open the image in Gimp and that size is top of the Gimp window. The main property is the image size in pixels. The photo you get out of your digital camera is probably a jpeg image.
For printing on fabric, I think a smaller value could be used maybe 150 to 200 ppi.
Open the Trace Bitmap menu by navigating to Path>Trace Bitmap, or use the keyboard shortcut Shift+Alt+B. Photographs on photo paper, usually 300 ppi is used. Steps: Open Inkscape and import your image. Taking the pixels-per-inch (ppi = dpi) first.
