So the signal is outgoing, while firewalls block incoming traffic. In those cases, Inkscape is calling your browser to go and visit those webpages.
INKSCAPE TRACE BITMAP GREYS MANUAL
The only time the internet is involved with Inkscape, is when you click Help menu > Inkscape manual or Help menu > Key and Mouse Ref. And Inkscape lives entirely on your computer. As far as I understand, firewalls block things from the internet getting into your computer. And I haven't heard of a firewall blocking anything about Inkscape.
INKSCAPE TRACE BITMAP GREYS WINDOWS
I haven't heard of a Windows bug where the dialogs are produced at the wrong time. When you import an image, there will be a dialog popping up - it's called "png bitmap image import" (which clearly is a poor title, since many raster formats can be imported!) The Trace Bitmap dialog is titled "Trace Bitmap" (case sensitive for those titles). I'm not sure what the key shortcuts are, if you could be getting those mixed up? Oh no, the key shortcuts are very different - I don't think they could easily be confused. If something else come to your mind, let me know.File menu > Import should not bring up the Trace Bitmap dialog, which lives at Path menu > Trace Bitmap.

I hope this might be some suggestion to try by someone in the future. I ended up with in my opinion improved details (noticeable on helmet) when compared to all other methods I tried. In Inkscape, I used "Trace Bitmap" from right click menu and choose default "Brightness cutoff" with 0,45, which was best setting for me in case of this image. Using of each effect and values may depend on image and personal preferences of course, but what I mean is modify image before conversion, especially searching for something that may improve details like sharpen. I used Irfan View and my lastest modification experimental combo was gamma 2.0, contrast -64, and whats most important I guess, using a lof of sharpen effect to highlight details. So, I started to play with original image to check how some changes may affect results of this conversion. The problem was that image lost too much details after it. Thanks, I tested out all your suggestions, trying various values for parameters.įinally, I ended up with something that I am not sure if I can get better results with such source image.Ĭonverting to vector with Inkspace was an idea that took my attention most. Thanks for any suggestions, and please, lets discuss it like intelligent adults, no useless comments, no childish behaviors. I use "color to alpha" on all colors, make duplicate and set layer mode to "dodge", which seems to to have better effect than previous methods, but I am still getting grey fogs that can be noticed on chest, and if I use another duplicate and set layer mode to "dodge", then lines become too small. I use "desaturate" with "average" setting, increase gamma (not brightness, because I do not want to touch black color) with "levels" with value 160, increase "contrast" to value 96 (127 makes image 2 color), but I am still getting grey fogs slightly on chest and noticeably on upper leg, and also some lines become too small. I use "desaturate" with "average" setting, make duplicate and set layer mode to "dodge", which keeps smooth curves and nicely removes most filling colors, but there are grey fogs that can be noticed on chest, upper leg, and shoe. I use "threshold" with value 160, which is close to what I am looking for, but the problem is that it makes image pure 2 color, and all curves are not smooth, making no shades between black and white pixels (use pixel perfect zoom withot blurring filters if you are not sure what I am talking about). It has various colors that I want to remove, not making them greyscale.

I am not talking about greyscale with "desaturate" or 2 color with "threshold". What I need is to convert colored image to almost pure black n white effect with smooth curves. I also already used google to find proper solution, but all tutorials are not exactly about what I need, so please do not send me links about simple black n white or greyscale conversions. I am already using gimp for years, not professionally, but I know most basics.
