Illustrator vs. Inkscape
Image tracing match

I had to vectorize an illustration I have made for a client, and first tried Illustrator, with really poor results (as you can see below), and this despite trying every possible combination of settings. I just never looked even halfway decent.
Then I tried #inkscape and to my surprise it produced an excellent result, even with the default settings!
Ok… I shouldn't be surprised actually 😀

An image showing the black&white tracing result through both Adobe Illustrator and Inkscape. The left image is all jagged, and lacks both precision and clarity. The right image, produced with Inkscape looks almost like the original.

@papernoise Do you have any manual on how did you do that around? (In ink scape, I have no interest in Illustrator) Would be very helpful for me

@alien
I just went with the default settings here:
Of course, this will not work the same for all kinds of images.
