If you trace an image with the Ignore White toggle turned on ~ic-toggle-on~~ic-toggle-on~, the tracing process results are shapes organized as compound paths. When Ignore White is turned on while in Sketch Mode, all the white areas of the source image will be erased. With the new Ignore White feature, you can define if Auto Trace creates vector shapes out of white image areas or not. When you activate the Sketch Mode in Auto Trace, you then have the option to toggle the Ignore White feature on and off. The original raster image will be grouped with the traced vector image in the Layers Tab. If you activate Keep Source Image, the original raster image will be kept and organized below the traced vector image in the layer hierarchy. If the mode is activated, the tracing process will take less time. The mode is best suited for tracing motifs with simple and uncomplicated lines. C – Simplify Path → If you activate Simplify Path, fewer nodes will be created.Low will reproduce a traced image with significantly less detail, whereas regular to high will include more detail from the original image in the final tracing result. You can choose between the levels Low, Regular and High. This slider defines the level of detail that will be kept in the resulting traced vector image. The Min Path Size of the Illustration Mode is set to 10 by default. The shorter the path distance between points, the higher the resulting level of detail will be. The lower the set value, the shorter the distance between points will be. The higher the set value, the longer the path between points will be.
Here you can define the threshold for your path size. When the Illustration Mode is selected (1), you will have a menu with a slider, three buttons, and two toggles available that control the following parameters: Essentially, the top blend shape, set to Hue, will “color” the shapes below with whatever color you put on the blend shape, and adjust the color to take on the brightness and saturation of the layers beneath. It creates a result color with the luminance and saturation of the base color and the hue of the blend color. If you want to quickly apply an asset with a white background to your comp without bothering to manually remove it, you can easily do that with multiply! Hue This blend mode multiplies the base color by the blend image. It will not change anything if the colors are the same or the overlapped layer is lighter than the original. This blend mode shows the darkest values of the base and the blend images. It obscures the lower layer by covering it with whatever is present in the top layer. The ‘normal’ blend mode is default in most applications. Here are a few examples of blend modes that you'll be able to use on your images in Vectornator: Normal
