I'd like to get the outline of this pattern as a vector and then resize to the size I want. I've imported bitmap and tried 3 forms of tracing, not satisfactory. I'm a complete beginner with X5, this is the only task I want to use X5 for at the moment. I just want to get up to steam as quickly as possible and get this this done as soon as I can. I don't want to spend ages and ages going into X5.
I have, The Official Guide to CorelDraw X5, again I don't want to spend ages wading through it to find out just the bare bones of what I need to do,to do the task I wish to complete at the moment.
I had a look at YouTube on PowerTrace I saw one video, How to extract the outline of a photo in Corel Draw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEOK9RwSqIQ
" Here you will learn how to use Corel Photopaint Cut Out Lab and the bezier tool in Corel Draw to trace an image. " I'm familiar, a little with the bezier tool.
I'm wondering should I try this method? Or is there another more straightforward way to vecor the pattern I want?
I'd be really grateful for any tips etc to point me in the right direction to get this done.
Thanks.
hello, after you press play button in middle of screen, you should see controls at bottom of screen for playback head and volume etc.
Excuse delay in getting back to you. No I don't see anything at the bottom of the screen. I moved taskbar to right of screen, still nothing.

Hi Pete,
I you're only looking for a line sketch, I would recommend any of the sketch applications. I use FotoSketcher but they're all pretty good.
In any case, making a sketch may be a good prelude to using DRAW's TRACE. I found TRACE to be a pain to use.

Success, I'm good to go,when I changed view from 100% to show all, up it came, thanks.
