If you compare the
Preview
in both cases, there doesn’t appear to be a difference in the trace. However, if
you select the
Print + Cut Cut
layer on the
Layer Panel
and change the
Stroke
to a bright color and then
zoom in closely, you can clearly see places where the
x 4.0 Resample
resulted in a tighter fit:
•
In
Section 7.03.3
, it was shown how the
Smooth
setting affects the trace line. This setting can also be
tested on PNC tracings as a way of getting a better fit, by decreasing the value. Alternatively, you can
also create an
Inset
after the trace,
if needed, to create a path that will cut just inside the image. Refer
to the
Inset Offset
option in
Section 8.05.
7.03.8 Resample Versus Smooth and the High Pass Filter
•
In many respects, the
Resample
setting appears to have the same effect as the
Smooth
setting. However,
the
Resample
is applied to the imported raster image ahead of tracing, while the
Smooth
setting is applied
to the actual trace lines.
•
While there is no definite way of knowing which setting to use in any given tracing, keep in mind the
following:
The purpose of
Resample
is to help the tracing algorithm “see” more pixels and provide a tighter, more
precise trace.
