So I'm wondering: Can I scale and convert the existing art into a vector-based 220x220 size (or can I somehow do this at the original size too?). I'm using 'Colors' under the 'Multiple scans' box of the Trace Bitmap options box. On the right is the vectorized bitmap trace - blurred and annoying. I need the png to be a copy of the original, but at a higher resolution/sharpness. Can anyone shed some light on why Inkscape blurs my bitmap when I trace it Example: On the left is my bitmap - clear as a bell. ReSizing to a larger size simply creates a blurred dial face in the sim, as I'd expected from a raster-based image. Built within Inkscape is a handy tool called Trace Bitmap, which uses an algorithm to automatically generate a vector tracing of a selected image.

I have a low resolution 110x110 pixel-sized, raster, png piece of art that has different strokes, shapes, colors in it. (Actually it's the face of an aircraft instrument used in flight sims).

But I'm not new to art programs, so this is really an Inkscape beginner asking for advice on how to proceed on a project (strategy)

Inkscape trace bitmap higher resolution
