bitmap button not on menu bar

Post by bennyuk »

Hello guys

I've got what i thought is the full 2019 package, ive got raster images that i need to turn into vector but i havent got the bitmap button on the menu bar and i can't find it any where, suffice to say it is doing my absolute head in!....

Any idea to where it may be? or why i haven't got it as i've seen screen shots of the 2019 version with the bitmap button proudly sitting there at the top of the screen just waiting to be used...

Cheers

I don't know what this bitmap button is. And PaintShop Pro 2019 does not have a raster to vector conversion option.

Are you using PaintShop Pro? Or Corel PhotoPaint from the Corel Draw Suite?

It's one software that will do convresion if you want it. Though Corel Draw is an entire suite of professional tools with a major price tag.

There are free raster to vector converters. Some you download. Some are online converters. Inkscape is a full-featured vector design tool that provides a raster to vector conversion options. And it can export to a format that PaintShop Pro can read (EMF or WMF) to maintain the vectors.

Corel also owns an online vector design software that is subscription based called Gravit Designer which can do raster to vector tracing.

And of course this free website - https://www.vectorizer.io/
