BTW Adobe Illustrator can handle both two files, like the GIMP.

Really unlikely, reason being that requires detection of *patterns* as opposed to solid colors, which is layer of complexity higher. Same reason screen toning looks weird vectored.

Honestly, this isn't that impressive compared to Inkscape's bitmap trace with the parameters tweaked right, as they more or less are for this (source is under 600px on a side, and this is good enough for me).

Note the PNG version of this is 18MB.

How do I upscale the svg in GIMP without losing quailty? Im totally new to gimp and the whole vectroing thing in general so any help is appreciated.
>> Anonymous

Just resize it. SVG doesn't suffer any loss of quality when you upscale/downscale it since it is made of codes.

Except for Komori and the skirts, almost everything went perfect for this.

There seems to be a limitation to the ratio/resolution in GIMP when rasterizing. It starts to cut the image off at a certain size.

Don't use GIMP for this. Use Inkscape.

Also, does anyone know why the SVG files the site outputs seem to be mostly incompatible with anything except Inkscape and GIMP? I tried using it some as wallpaper as well as viewing the output in some preview/slideshow programs and they all said the files were incorrect. I resaved them in Inkscape and the files got quite a bit bigger, but became compatible.

Neglected to mention, using Fedora 7 + KDE. Comes stock with SVG files for wallpaper, viewers show SVG as a format they read, but all report errors when opening these files unless they've been resaved through Inkscape.

Inkscape SVGs are normal SVGs zipped. It's a little odd this outputs compressed SVGs, but eh.

>>232583
Depends on the image, as mentioned, and some things you should not attempt to vector, but generally make it color, turn off smoothing, and crank the levels up as high as you can go without setting your computer aflame. I did the one with the broken thumbnail with 128 layers - while my computer could vector it within ten minutes, trying to export it made my machine asplode - so I did it on one of the CS department machines that have 2GB RAM and 16GB swap. Worked a treat.

Correct.

Also, I fear a quality loss in /hr/ if all the fags start using vector upscaling.

OK guys. After playing with this for a few hours now. I can pronounce it as SHIT! It has nothing on a proper manuall created vector image. I tried several times with various settings on a few images that should have worked but lost all detail when vectored and only by increasing the colour count would it resolve the details but in the process created other problems like thin lines that did not exist between borders. It's OK for some quickie toon vectors but for those nice anime desktops forget it!

Okay, using Inkscape, what settings would be safe without making my computer wheeze like a fat kid with asthma? I'm using a Core 2 Duo( 2.2 ghz because I just fucking love the number 2) with 2 gigabytes of RAM( I go ape shit for twos across the board).

Is this medium settings-capable or crazy-ass settings-capable or what?
