CorelDRAW Ideas Portal
Sense the purchase of the CorelDraw 2021 subscription I have noticed that when tracing images they are much less accurate an as a result sometimes useless to what I need. I understand it has been designed this way to improve performance of both Tracing and to help remove the jagged edges that increase the node count making the object much more difficult to process. To improve this process, you could add multistep processing. By this I mean keep it exactly like you have it but add the ability to add steps in it processing as the most common and appropriate effects to add back more realism or detail to the image. Simply have them do their initial processing to get the preview they recieve now then allow them to refine the image step by step to increase accuracy and clarity of the image after a selections are made you can efficiently manage the processing by processing step by step to first reduce the complexity to make it more manageable to process then readd the complexity as need to get the appropriate result for the user in the most efficient and reliable way without the system hanging and forcing a restart. The program would run much more smoothly if you reduced the number of node as you have done and then rebuild the complexity your understanding of the capabilities of your programs design allowing for more efficient, reliable and desirable results that are compatible with your design.

All you would have to do is when processing an image keep a record of the location of the nodes and the adjacent color code then process the image. then when adding the complexity simply use these nodes, colors etc.. relevant to the appropriate effects to add the complexity back into the image to achieve the desired result. this way you still get the result you want but the processor isn't as stressed leading to failure.
