5. Choose Window > Show Vector Trace Palette. The options in this palette affect the
spline creation. Adjust the parameters if you are unable to create the spline that you
want. Since this is a floating window, you can leave it open while you work.
•The Trace Channel menu sets which channel the bitmap trace uses. Choose
Luminance, Alpha, Red, Green, or Blue.
• Trace Tolerance determines how closely the generated spline matches the actual
contour of the bitmap graphic. A smaller tolerance creates a spline with more points.
You may want to use a smaller tolerance if your graphic has complicated edges.
Alternatively, use a larger tolerance if your graphics edges are uneven. In this case a
larger tolerance can be used to give your graphic smoother edges.
• Trace Threshold sets the range of values that are used to create a particular spline
point.
•When the Invert checkbox is selected, the spline is created from the inverse of the
selection.
•When the Use Pre-Blur checkbox is selected, a blur is applied when finding the
spline edges.
• Pre-Blur Amount increases the amount of blur applied when creating the spline.
6. Use one of the following methods to create a spline of your imported still image.
