Krita and Inkscape vectorization Tutorial

Step 1 : install Krita

Here is the link to download it : https://krita.org/fr/

and a link to its documentation : https://docs.krita.org/en/user_manual/

Step 2 : open your file

Like most of the software, you just have to click in file > open file and voilà ! :)

Up until now it’s a piece of cake ^^

Step 3 : erase unuseful elements

To help you, you can use the same tool as in photoshop : the magic wand. It will make you win some time and select a lot of the background at the same time.

Once it’s done, you just have to press your “delete” button to erase what’s selected.

I won’t need all that document, so to win some time I can also crop what I don’t need. In order to do so, press the “C” on your keyboard to open the tool. Now I just have to crop what I don’t need.

Now it’s time to clean our moff and clip it ! Thanks to the magic wand tool, you can select the areas you want to delete.

Step 4 : vectorize your image

To vectorize our image, first we have to open it in Inkscape.

I did a tutorial on Inkscape, if you want to know how to install it and learn the basics of the interface.

In order to do it, you have to go to path > vectorize a matricial object.

A panel opens. There you can play with the different parameters to adjust the vectorization to your will.

I played with the luminosity, put it in 0.650. Here’s the result !
