i do the trace bmp and this gives me a vector image, i change the fill colour of the vector to blue and when i open the svg file in k40 whisperer it opens the file showing black fill on the vector instead of blue, any advice is greatly appreciated. i suspect that there might be some form of setting that i have set wrong but i cannot find it. also i would like to add that the trace bmp feature in inkscape does a fantastic job as you can see from the svg file, the problem is that i need to set the fill colour of the svg as a vector engrave path, even though i change the fill colour to blue when i open the svg file in k40 whisperer it opens it as black a raster engrave. Hello, thank you both for your replies, yes bryn you are completely right that is what is happening the problem is that even if i change the colour of the fill to blue, when i open it in k40 whisperer the fill color turns to black and becomes a raster engrave instead of a vector engrave. It needs to be very sharp, and as big as possible (well you know, within reason). But this image is too blurry for that to work. If you have a larger and better quality image, the trick I mentioned might work. I have tried using a multiple scan option for this, but it's very tricky, and would take a long time to explain to a beginner. Of course they could be fixed, but in this complex image, it would take a good bit of work. But it tends to create sort of knot-like areas at intersections. There is a centerline trace option (if you use 1.0beta - or for an earlier version, you can install an extra extension). I'm not sure if Inkscape has something to give you the kind of results you need, for such a small and complex image. To change it to blue, just click on the blue chip in the palette (or use Fill and Stroke dialog to configure a custom color). Instead, you got 2 paths (one inside and one outside the original line in the raster image) with a black fill in between. My best guess is that you did not get a single path as a result. If you could share your SVG file we wouldn't have to guess. Or at least, whatever options you used might not. Trace bitmap might not be working exactly as you expect.
