msilver Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 In Adobe Fireworks I could easily mark a bitmap with the magic wand and trace it in paths. I also used VectorMagic, which only deals with this topic. Which function in Affinity Designer do I have to use to convert a bitmap into paths / vector? Quote
Joachim_L Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 None, sorry. Much wanted, but not part of ADesigner yet. I hope we will see this function one day, but in the meantime you have to use other applications to do what you want.
