As the amount of tracing increases, more CPU time will be required, and the element will become much larger. Generally the more dark pixels in the intermediate bitmap, the more tracing that Potrace will perform. For Potrace, we currently have three types of input filters to convert from the raw image to something that Potrace can use. Potrace interprets a black and white bitmap, and produces a set of curves. What it does is give you a set of curves which you can use as a resource for your drawing. Keep in mind that the Tracer’s purpose is not to reproduce an exact duplicate of the original image nor is it intended to produce a final product.
In the future we expect to allow alternate tracing programs for now, however, this fine tool is more than sufficient for our needs. These short notes should help you become acquainted with how it works.Ĭurrently Inkscape employs the Potrace bitmap tracing engine ( ) by Peter Selinger.
One of the features in Inkscape is a tool for tracing a bitmap image into a element for your SVG drawing. It seems that InkScape is the way to do it cleanly. Ok, so I wanted to turn the first image into the second image. I need to save this part so I don’t lose it.
INKSCAPE TUTORIAL FOR SUBLIMATION HOW TO
This option gives you more control over the size and shape of the export image.Firstly, this material is largely and mostly from the InkScape How To pages. The Page option will export a PNG that is within your page (the gray outlined box you design in). You have four options for the export area, but page and drawing are mostly used. To export your completed mockup, go to File > Export PNG Image (shortcut Shift + Ctrl + E). Now that you have set up your mockup and design, it's time to export it. Option 2 - Small SVG on Top Left Corner of Shirt The images below will give you an idea of how to place the design. Try repositioning the design until you are happy with the placement.
If you need help with adjusting the image size, follow our great tutorial on how to resize an image in Inkscape. Click OK to import the design.Īdjust the rotation and resize the SVG image to fit onto the mockup. The recommended DPI is set to 300 for best quality. As we want to be able to edit the document, we left the settings as is. We are using an SVG, but you could also import a sublimation design or other image type.Ī popup will appear. We are now ready to import the design and add it to the mockup. This means that even if you move the file to a different location, it won't change in the Inkscape document. When using the Image Import Type as Embed, the image will be embedded in the file. We are using a JPEG, but your mockup could be another image file type like a PNG.Ī popup will appear. To import the mockup, go to File > Import (shortcut Ctrl + I).Ĭhoose the mockup image and click Open. A mockup can easily be created so your design can be placed over it. Open Inkscape and select New Document depending on the version you are using. If you like sunflowers, make sure to check out all the beautiful sunflower SVGs available on Design Bundles.
In this tutorial we will use a white t-shirt mockup and an SVG from this sunflower SVG bundle. You can also use mockups to display your finished product and easily show customers the project possibilities. Have you wondered how an SVG or sublimation design may look on a product before making it? Mockups are an easy way to test out different sizes or colors of a design.
