I am scanning detailed hard line black and white pen drawings. no shading and once i do,

i am trying to trace them to have vector images i can manipulate, but every type of TRACE ruins the drawings. Is there a better way i can go about scanning my drawings or TRACING them for manipulation and clean up

Also how can i have the "black" in the images to be recognized as borders to manipulate.

Thank you for your time.

Please just let me know the steps to cure my ignorance in this aspect of the corel software.

Are you scanning them a monochrome or as grayscale?

they are all completely full 8.5 x 11 computer paper with designs and this is a half scaled down so they would allow me to upload it all this is a simple pattern sheet but basically they are all like this but are darker and more scenic, Also i have tried the scan in grey scale and black and white only i was reading that i should be using gray scale but even then when it came time to do trace, it ruined the image.

I will take a gander at this Monday when I get back to work. I am wondering how large you are making the image when you attempt the trace. As well, are you converting the image to a black and white bitmap prior to your trace?

Thankyou and this is actually a cropped half of the 8.5x11 standard printer paper. and then resized down to get under the 512kb upload limit. and i was doing the aquire" image step and scanning straight into black and white (some grey scale), but also the images all are all drawn black pen on white paper.
