making a vector help please

I understand your problem now. I thought the different versions of
CorelTrace were throwing you off. Your photo is not conducive to the
method used in the beginning of this thread. Note that the wall color is
close in tone to the boy's skin color so the areas where their arms are
against the wall will be too close in value for the method to work well.
The method is relying on the fact that the background will be white
and a solid piece so you can select it and delete it easily.

With a bitmap like this manually tracing is the best way to do this.
Jeff's tutorial can teach you to draw complex shapes like these quickly.
It takes a little practice to get good at it (like everything else worth
learning) but it is very effective.

Thank Steve by your comments.

The conclusion could be that "To develop this kinds of picture, the automatic method doesnt work correctly so is necesary using manual trace?

Do you know what is the specific tutorial that states this point?

What's the final goal for your outlines? Are you wanting to delete the
backgrounds from your photos for using in other designs or are you
looking to cut these outlines on a plotter? Knowing what you plan on
doing with your art helps us to point you in the right direction for
tutorials or other threads.

Jeff's tutorial link he posted earlier in the thread is an effective way
to manually trace objects so you have few nodes in the fastest way
possible with the best results. That's a huge help to people who produce
products using vinyl plotters, cnc routers or even lasers.

Hi Steve:

I want to cut the picture by the outline in a laser cutter. The idea is to do something like in this picture. Firstly print a picture in a inject printer, sencondly draw the outline of the same picture after that, cut the picture on the acrylic sheet in the cutter and at the end stick the picture in photopaper with the figure on the acrylic that was cutting in the cutter.

hopefully the upload was small sample and you have a hi-res version for printing. :-)

Anyway, the technique allows you 100% control and confidence for these cases, with minimum nodes.

whether creating a powerclip container or rebuilding logos etc.

Hi Jeff:

This image could appreciate perfect to my work. Did you make it by manual technique? I visited the site that you sent me but there are a lot of tutorials, what would I get to solve my problem?

Thank a lot
