Kim Panattoni Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 Hello again, everyone: After digging through the forums and YouTube a bit, I have not found a very specific answer to the subject of this post, and most of what I found was years old. I am asking how to do one specific function: Use Affinity software to convert a raster image into a vector image by using a built in tool with configurable options that works just like (or better than) the Image Trace tool in Adobe Illustrator. Now let's be clear: 1. Needs to be built into Affinity. No external software or paid plugins. 2. Needs to be an option with configurable settings that can be adjusted. See images below for the Illustrator process. 3. Optional: Non-destructive, so as to be editable with properties like any other adjustment in Affinity. For those of you who are not sure what I am talking about, I have attached some screen grabs from Illustrator to demonstrate the tool I am seeking in Affinity, as I am sure it exists but I have not found it yet here or on YouTube. Thanks! Pep75 1 Quote

There is only bad news. Affinity software has no builtin Image Trace ability.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Pep75 Posted June 25, 2024 Posted June 25, 2024 I really, really, really can't understand why this hasn't been implemented yet. I really love Affinity Suite, it's my main tool now (as an architect) but I beg for this feature. Please Serif, please.... And please give us extrusion tools, vector pattern creator, vector brushes...Make Affinity the best! Quote
