Pre-processing

Before tracing the image, the plugin will make the image black and white and process it with the following properties to help get a better result.

Black & white

Invert

Flip what gets traced. Black becomes white, and white becomes black.

Tracing

Tweak these properties to change how the image gets traced.

Ignore less than

Any speckles that contain this amount of pixels or less, with be ignored and not traced.

Smoothness

How smooth the corners in the tracing become.

Curve optimisation

A larger value with smooth out and reduce the number of points, to become a more consecutive curve, but slightly less accurate.
