Duncan Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 In Illusrator I could live trace an image outline and remove the fill to create a tracing template. I cannot work out how to do that with this program. The images I use are all black silhouettes of animals mainly attached example of what I want to do. bassethound.ai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted March 24, 2015 Staff Share Posted March 24, 2015 Hello Duncan, Welcome to Affinity Forums There's no auto-trace feature in Affinity Designer. There was some discussion about the possibility to create a (bitmap) selection and convert it to a path, which would work here as your images are clean black and white silhouettes, but this wasn't implemented yet in AD. Currently the only way you have is do it manually (quite laborious for animals's silhouettes i know) or using a third party tracing software. Due to the nature of the images you are using even a simple/basic auto-tracing software could give you a good result. Check out here and here for some discussion about the subject and software suggestions. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
