Since its addition to CorelDRAW in 1992, the Trace tool has improved significantly and the options within it are now many. I still consider this tool one of the most useful tools Corel offers. But since that time, it has played a significant role in my graphic design career. Twenty-three years ago, I certainly did not know the importance and impact this tool would have for me. I cannot tell you when it was that I discovered the Trace tool. In the late ’90s, I was just beginning my relationship with CorelDRAW. This mailed artwork would often arrive as a tri-folded piece of paper in an envelope-a piece of paper that probably had two creases running through what the client was calling “artwork.” My job was to digitize the artwork using a “state-of-the-art” HP flatbed scanner (a process that often took 20 to 30 minutes) and make it production-ready for whatever process was required for the product requested.īy Shon Roti, Sublimation Consultant, Graphic Designer This had as much to do with the size constraints of email attachments at the time, as with the clients’ familiarity with email technology. Have you ever stopped to think how certain tasks were completed without the use of the tools and technology that exist today? I can still recall-as a production artist in 1998-receiving artwork via mail.
