One of the only reasons I have not gone completely to Affinity and keep an old copy of Illustrator CS6 is because of the image trace function. Converting of bitmap/raster images to vector artwork is a mainstay for logo designers. Having to manually do this in Designer is a real drag.

A feature that has been high on the wishlist of countless designers like us: the mighty "Trace Tool"! You know how essential it is to have all the right tools at our fingertips for unleashing our creative potential. Well, brace yourselves, because it's time to give the people what they want, and guess what? This tool is already rocking the design world in many other software, but it's time to bring it right here, into our beloved Affinity Designer!
As designers, we crave a seamless and efficient workflow, and the inclusion of a Trace Tool would be nothing short of a dream come true. Picture this: effortless conversion of raster images into smooth, editable vector graphics, right within Affinity Designer! No more fumbling around with external apps or manual tracing hassles. It's time to level up our game and bring ease and convenience to every step of our design journey.
Why settle for less when we can have more? A Trace Tool opens up a world of possibilities – from breathing new life into existing artwork to transforming hand-drawn sketches into stunning vector masterpieces. And here's the best part: we can take full control! Imagine fine-tuning the details, smoothness, and accuracy of the traced output to match our unique design styles. It's an invaluable addition to our creative arsenal that we just can't ignore.
So, let's unite our voices and make sure the Affinity team hears us loud and clear.
