Let’s say I wanted to carve a shallow 1/8" groove everywhere there is a black line in this image? I have Photoshop and Inkscape but so far all of my png → svg conversion attempts have been a mess. I would appreciate some guidance on which tools in those massive applications to use and how to use them.
I have used Inkscape multiple times even with tricky pictures and I was always able to isolate the contour of certain objects in inkscape by tracing the bitmap using edge detection. There are even ways to smoothen the polyline that is created in the process. Hope that helps
