The purpose of the
Smooth
setting is to make the trace less angular or more angular. Thus, the
Smooth
setting would probably be set high when tracing something like a stuffed toy but set very low
when tracing something like a box pattern with lots of right angles.
•
In general, you’ll just need to test them to see which one is better or if applying both is the best option.
•
In the example below, it will be shown that
Resample
improves the accuracy of the trace over
Smooth
.
Using a
Resample
of
x 1.0
and other settings set (which will again be used when
Smooth
is tested),
the trace results in the following. Since an important focal point
would be on the boy’s face and hat, note
that the resulting trace isn’t as sharp as one might want:
By increasing the
Resample
to
x 2.0
, the shape of the hat and the face become closer to the original
image:
On the other hand, if one leaves the
Resample
at
x 1.0
and, instead, decreases
Smooth
from 75 to 70,
the hat becomes too pointed/angular without improving the shape of the face:
X 1.0 Resample
X 2.0 Resample
Smooth
= 75
Smooth
= 70
