The Vectorize Image function in Designer allows you to turn a Rastor (Image) into a Vector (Cuttable Format) to apply as a Deboss, Pen or cut in Vinyl.

This is simply a Raster to Vector Conversion.

Note that the Vectorizing utility in Trace has additional parameters that can be adjusted if you need more control of how an image is Vectorized.

A Vector is a graphic drawing in Trace that contains Paths, which are defined by a Start and End point and may contain other Points, Curves, and Angles.

The Vector Paths are independent of resolution, which means they can be resized without losing detail.

A Path is also a file format of Trace which saves all of the Vector elements of the design as you work, whether it is Traced or not. 

When the design is completed, save it as a CutArt to load into Designer.
