Flourish Help please

[sasousa]

I am trying to trace this item in scal but for some reason all the lines don't show up.

Can anyone tell me why?

Any help would be fantastic.

Thanks.!

Try opening the picture in a photo program and save as a 16 color bmp or change to a black and white .jpg and adjust the exposure...this might help.

this was the best I could do to pick up the light lines in the flourishes. the leaves lost their details.

This file is an SVG file. To use, Open Scal, and select file / IMPORT (not open)

Way to go DogCarbon. I was trying to work on it during my break today as it looked like a good challenge and couldn't get the leaves to look just right and there were some breaks in the flourishes that needed repair. Didn't have time to finish it. Yours looks good.

You might try looking for a high res black and white flourish on the free stock image sites. One that I have used is Stock.Xchng. Membership is free and there are some really nice images there. Here is a page with some black and white flourishes. There were some in earlier pages too. http://www.sxc.hu/browse.phtml?f=search ... ourish&p=5

The higher res images will give you a much better trace. If you look at your image you can see the low image quality. That isn't usually a problem when you have a higher resolution image. HTH
