ProtoMax Auto Tracing Program - free download

[adbuch]

Here is a very handy program for auto tracing photos and images. For some applications this works much better (at least for me) than some of the others I normally use - Design Edge, Inkscape, LightBurn, VinylMaster, etc. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

This is the original jpeg I used for this example.

Here it is after vectorizing with ProtoMax.

I opened the dxf exported from ProtoMax with Design Edge to check it out.

Thanks David always nice to have alternatives to use when creating cut files or other work.

Tom - this seems like it might be a pretty slick program. I am planning to use it for some Christmas gnomes - so I will report back as to my results.

Looks like it may do a little better job than corel which I currently use but still too much cleanup it looks like. I am beginning to think there is nothing suitable for autotrace unless its a super basic black white image. Thanks for the info though, always looking to try new things.

For those like me still using candle light, ProtoMax is a 64 bit program. I have a 64 bit Win 10 computer but just don't like using it, still old fuddy duds like me out there. It least I do have a way to use it
