The desktop version of vector magic it's a beast, it has such a level of granular control that it can handle anything that I ever threw at it, I bought it many many years ago and it never failed to impress me, it's simply perfect
I used it when it first came out, and agree with your assessment. I can't remember what they did that made me stop using it, but I found that Inkscape could do what I wanted (mostly) so I don't miss it.
Thank you for your DETAILED DEMONSTRATION and the results of the conversion by those 6 apps. Your video does help me with making an informed decision of what software to use to meet my needs.
Adobe Illustrator being the industry’s leading vector software needs to step it up. They should work on a version that should be as precise as the image we are importing but without all the extra tracing options it has now.
Wow, even though you said it quickly, $10 monthly subscription for a single function vectorising app is extortionate, no matter how good. Seems like app developers have no appreciation of the cumulative cost of all the single function apps you might need to have a productive workflow. I’m down on subscription models anyway but once you need a few things/functions, full-blown applications like Adobe Illustrator suddenly look good value. Personally I dumped my adobe suite after 20+ years of use for Affinity, though sadly there is no image trace function (hence watching this video). Thanks for your effort and outputs!
coreldraw's tracer in newer versions creating an unwanted invisible line that will be printed in printer and this is really crazy also have a big performance issue(new versions)
Great video. I always forget about Corel Draw. Way back in the 90's I looked into switching to Corel Draw but I could not unlearn Illustrator. I guess sometimes you can't teach an old graphic designer new software. Have you looked at Affinity Designer and Inkscape?
Absolutely, I've had to switch a few times back and forth when I was in the industry too and it drove me insane haha. I haven't tried those, I am thinking a follow up video eventually may be in order!
How can you be so sure of vectorizerAI, when you weren't even presented the real results? How can you judge a vector image based off a pixel representation?

Oh nice, I wondered if it had anything extra. Sounds good!

Good to know, I really need to try inkscape. I've already made a note to do a follow up video to test some of the extra ones people have mentioned.
Most thorough and detailed video in this category I've seen so far. Thank you. I just hope Affinity develops it's own in-app version soon.
Thank you! Yeah, that would be cool, vector converters are awesome timesavers.

I'm glad it was helpful! Thank you so much :)
I used to use an open source program, Inkscape, for automatic vectorization, which also gives good results.
oh, didn't know about that either! Thank you! I might need a follow up video, I have a few services now :)
Inkscape is my secret weapon
Another vote for Inkscape .... JPG -> Inkscape -> FreeCad/VCarve pro
I'm definitely convinced now haha
can you tell us about the settings for better result?
Already have CorelDraw 2024. Always looking on how to vectorize the best in CorelDraw. Good comparison video.
Thank you! I would just experiment with the settings, but Corel's vectorizer is pretty decent :)

I agree, it would make life a LOT easier!

It adds up after a while for sure. I'veheard Inkscapes is good, I need to test it out.

Oh that sucks :/ CorelDraw is a decent program, but it doesnt seem to be improving IMO.

Does it allow you to edit each layer individually like if I wanted to change a color for a specific layer
These are mostly just converters, but if you import them into illustrator or corel draw you can edit them as you described
Дякую, дуже корисно, давайте ще)))
Thank you! I'll do my best to create more in this space and others if you find that helpful :)
Thanks for sharing and taking the time to do it live from England
No problem mate, thank you for checking out the video!
Sir very helpful video and great job
Thank you!
Thank you ❤.
No problem thank you!
I love the background music. Where is it from?
From the RUclips Audio Library! The song is Kick it - Yung Logos ruclips.net/video/dnv0zGGSC08/видео.html
@@WadeMcMaster You are a rockstar!!! Thanks
How can you be so sure of vectorizerAI, when you weren't even presented the real results? How can you judge a vector image based off a pixel representation?
I have used it in the past and used the results, they are exactly the same as the representation.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😎
How to download free
Not sure you can for the paid ones mate, only the Adobe Express tool is free
I use Adobe capture. Works well for a free app ❤️🇦🇺
I haven't tried it! thank you for letting me know :)
mostly all require monthly subscription. too bad.
You can use certain programs like vectorizer, the image will vectorize, then use the snipping tool to copy the image, then use upscaler like Topaz,
👋
Thanks man :)
you already vectorize a 12 color "image". how about 16 milion clor photo. lika a vacation family photo?!? how about that?
I could try it but it wouldnt look good on any vectorizer
What's the point tho?
Most people creating vectors, such as graphci designers, want simpler images for stickers, shirts, etc so they can be scaled.
verry nice
Thank you!
