To trace an image in Adobe XD, use the image trace feature. Select the image and click on "Image Trace," then choose a tracing option such as "High Fidelity Photo" to convert the image into a vector graphic.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Select the Image: Click on the image you want to trace within your Adobe XD project.
- Access Image Trace: After selecting the image, the "Image Trace" option should become available. (Note: This feature may require a plugin or is part of a specific Adobe XD version. Ensure your software is up-to-date and any necessary plugins are installed).
- Choose a Tracing Option: Select a suitable tracing option. "High Fidelity Photo" is mentioned in the provided context, suggesting it's a viable option for detailed image tracing. Other options might be available depending on the XD version or plugins you have installed (e.g., low fidelity, black and white logo, etc.). The chosen option will influence the level of detail and accuracy in the tracing.
- Customize Tracing Settings (If Available): Some tracing tools provide customizable settings that allow you to adjust parameters such as the number of colors, path fitting, corner angle, noise, and other vectorization options. These settings are used to adjust the quality of the result.
- Convert to Vector: After selecting the "Image Trace" option, Adobe XD will process the image and convert it into a vector graphic.
- Edit the Vector: Once the image is traced, you can then edit the resulting vector paths. This includes modifying shapes, adjusting colors, and refining the overall design.
In summary, the "Image Trace" feature in Adobe XD allows you to convert raster images into editable vector graphics. This opens up opportunities to rescale images without loss of quality and to customize the traced elements to fit your specific design needs.
