the scanner. The program is trying to “connect the dots” for you. Use the Move Point tool to
drag the end of the line outside of the image and then click the Erase tool to remove them.
Remove Extra Lines
To remove the extra lines, select the lines and press the
DELETE
key on your keyboard. If the
lines are difficult to remove, use the Erase tool to remove two or three pieces of the unwanted
line and then select and delete the broken sections.
Avoid Double Lines
Convert the image to a solid graphic to avoid those pesky double lines. To do so, color the
image by hand (solidly!) or use a graphics program to fill in before vectorizing.
Fixing Vectorizing in Scanned Drawings or Photographs
If you encounter problems when trying to vectorize a scanned drawing or photograph (not an
outline or solid), convert images to an outline or solid image. To do so, first outline it by hand
with a black pen. Then, scan at 200 dpi in black and white, or use a “paint” or graphics program
to fill the image in and make it solid. Save the image as a black and white bitmap (bmp) file,
vectorize, and remove any double lines after vectorizing. Alternatively, use the hand-
vectorizing method described on page 110.
Converting Low-Resolution Images
Some publishing programs (such as MS® Publisher, Printshop, and Printmaster) feature
program-specific file formats. Images created in these programs often are low resolution, and
you may not be able to save them in bitmap format. To remedy the issue, print the image in
BEST quality, trace it, and then scan it in as a black and white bitmap. See “Manipulating,
Scanning, and Importing Graphics” on page 106. Alternatively, use the hand-vectoring method
on page 110.
