hi in this video I'm going to show you
0:03
on how you can trace an image in conab
0:06
now let me be clear tracing is not a
0:08
feature that is available in Cana it is
0:10
very common in Photoshop but not is
0:12
available in Cana at least not at the
0:15
moment but we are going to be using a
0:17
third party app that is available in the
0:19
platform and then we can essentially
0:21
Trace any image with the help of that
0:23
tool so here's how you can do that first
0:26
you want to insert a picture you can use
0:28
any picture it could be a picture from
0:30
the upload section you could also a
0:31
picture from the element section where
0:34
you got a millions of different picture
0:36
from the stock library in Cana in this
0:39
case I'm going to be using this picture
0:40
I think this is good enough at least the
0:42
background is something that I'm going
0:44
to remove first but uh let me increase
0:47
the size first and now I'm going to
0:50
remove the background uh this is usually
0:52
an important step because you want to
0:53
isolate the object uh with the subject
0:56
in the picture uh in this case the face
0:59
of this woman is more important than the
1:01
background that's why I remove it
1:02
because this is going to be very
1:03
important for the tracing set for sorry
1:05
for the Tracer setting later anyway now
1:09
uh that I got this picture clean let's
1:11
go to the app
1:13
section and then you want to search for
1:17
Tracer uh click on this tool this is the
1:20
one that we are going to be using and
1:23
click
1:24
open now we just need to wait until it
1:27
is loaded and yeah now make sure to
1:29
select the picture and let's click Trace
1:32
selected
1:34
image now we just to wait until it
1:37
finish and if you have an empty
1:38
background it's usually going to be a
1:40
lot quicker so basically the more
1:43
elements you have in the picture the
1:45
longer it will take but generally
1:46
speaking if you have a clean Picture
1:48
This should take less than 30 seconds to
1:51
finish oh okay it's done now this is the
1:54
setting that I got and of course I can
1:56
make it lower I can make it higher it
1:59
really depends on the picture and every
2:01
picture will be different so you have to
2:03
play around with the threshold manually
2:05
and see which one is actually going to
2:07
deliver the best looking
2:10
picture in this case lowering The
2:13
Trestle is not a good idea so I'm going
2:15
to increase it back to maybe around 175
2:18
and hopefully I'll get a much better
2:22
picture now I just need to wait and this
2:24
is probably the most annoying part I
2:26
really have to wait and there's nothing
2:28
else I can do
2:30
okay so okay 175 is a bit too much in my
2:34
opinion so let's lower it back to around
2:38
150 and yeah uh uh I think the contrast
2:43
here is very important you want to make
2:45
sure that every detail is preserved
2:48
maybe some detail will be lost but at
2:50
least you want to make sure the image is
2:52
as recognizable as
2:55
possible all right I think this is good
2:57
enough so I'm going to click add to
2:58
design and and we're going to get the
3:01
copy of the picture now I'm going to
3:03
let's say I'm going to uh duplicate this
3:05
page now let's remove this picture and
3:09
let's use this picture
3:12
instead and yeah I think this is good
3:15
enough you can do a lot of things here
3:16
you can for example change the
3:18
background to a different color because
3:20
now uh there is only one color for this
3:24
for this picture there's only black
3:25
color and the rest is basically
3:27
transparent and I think it's going to
3:29
grow really effect similar to dual tone
3:31
but in my way I think in my opinion it's
3:33
way more artistic so yeah that's
3:36
basically it that's how you can create a
3:39
sorry how that's how you can trace a
3:41
picture in Cana
