#What a Waste of $400
3 messages in this thread
I've had the same experience, and I know how frustrating it can be.
What you probably are not doing is using the "trace options" to set the way
your bitmap is being handled. You can adjust whether your logo is "mostly
curves," "mostly lines," etc., as well as whether it should be traced
"tight," "medium," or "loose."
Also, there is a control (the default I believe is 8) which tells
CorelTrace how much "dirt" to take out or leave in. Try a lower number.
Also, you might want to take another look at the manual (I don't enjoy them
either!). Some good info is lurking between their covers!
Good luck!

Bob ihave played with some of those mostl curve etc, but not the dirt
option. My logo is a circle with fots of paralel horizontal lines across
it. Its mostly curves & circles?

I would think that "mostly lines" would yield better results, especially
since one of the complaints you had was the uneveness of lines.
Also try fit=tight, and turn that "dirt" down to about 4.
I've found that to get acceptable results, I've gotta play around with the
settings a bit for detailed things like logos. Also, don't forget that you
then import these finished tracings into CorelDraw and mess with them some
more. A line that's not quite straight can be straightened using CD's
tools.
If all else fails, I'll be glad to give it a try for you.
