Vector Tracing Vector Tracing MCQ 2

Question 1

When tracing a raster logo with a live-trace tool, which setting most directly controls how closely the vector path follows the original bitmap edges?

Accepted Answer

Paths

Answer

The Paths (or Path Fitting) slider determines how tightly the traced vector contour hugs the original pixel edges.

Question 2

A traced vector shape has unnecessary anchor points along a straight segment. Which tool in Adobe Illustrator removes excess anchors without changing the path shape?

Accepted Answer

Simplify (Object > Path > Simplify)

Answer

Object > Path > Simplify reduces anchor count while preserving the overall path geometry.

Question 3

In Inkscape's trace dialog, the 'Speckles' option under SIOX suppression is used to:

Accepted Answer

Remove tiny isolated noise regions below a pixel-area threshold

Answer

Speckles suppression discards small disconnected regions smaller than the specified pixel area, cleaning up noise.

Question 4

Which color mode produces the fewest vector objects when tracing a full-color photograph?

Accepted Answer

Black and White

Answer

Black and White (monochrome) tracing collapses all tonal data to two values, producing the simplest vector output.

Question 5

After Image Trace in Illustrator, the result is still a linked image object. Which step converts it to editable vector paths?

Accepted Answer

Expand

Answer

Clicking Expand (in the control bar or Object menu) converts the Image Trace result into actual editable vector paths.
