  A Timesaving Unique Feature --- Real-Time Preview

  by: Kutee on 13-Feb-2008 12:25:36 PM

  Pros: The real-time preview feature is really a timesaver while processing the vector conversion. You don't have to wait until the whole process complete to change the settings to get the better tracing results. Plus the program is so powerful and only cost $60. I recommend downloading the latest version from the MagicTracer website.

  Great Raster to Vector conversion with more than expected flexibility

  by: Iamkellbert on 08-Aug-2007 10:31:53 AM

  Pros: Interface is intuitive and easy to play with. Good undo ************ makes a "try-it-and-see-what-happens" approach work while learning the ins/outs of translation. Love the realtime preview option and all of the raster AND vector editing features. I was able to convert an awful multi-color, noisy raster image with multiple profiles into a fairly clean DXF file for use in our CAD system. It took some tweaking of the image in raster to maximize the cleanliness and quality of the final DXF file - but I had a usable output in a few tries/minutes. Further familiarity on my part would most likely improve the results of the curve interpolation and line corrections. Since I didn't bother with the manual or help, I suspect I may not have had the optimal settings...But I do think that for what it does, the price is most definitely reasonable and certainly feel the publisher was very fair in allowing 20 fully feature-enabled uses of the trial. Now I just need to convince the boss to pay for it...

  Cons: Not owning a licensced copy; I'd buy it myself if I had the cash.
