Original picture transformed with the
Poster filter and 64 colors …
… and then with 16 colors and 0 pixel
point reduction vectorized.
Here the picture is transformed with the
Poster filter, but this time with a point
reduction of 4 pixels and a tile size of
16 pixels.
The effect below was generated from the
picture to the left (posterized and
vectorized); the polygons were split with
Modify > Break, and a number (in this
case 6) of the (foreground) polygons
were deleted until the resulting
background was achieved.
Note: To select polygons for deletion,
click on a curved colored area (the text
in the status bar shows “Polygon nnn
corners selected”, where nnn is the
number of corners of the polygon) and a
frame with green handles encloses the
area of the polygons selected. Press
Delete to delete the polygons. Repeat
until you have achieved the desired
effect, (which here is to have only the
background showing).
If you next ‘split’ the existing Metafile (Modify > Split), access is gained to
individual polygons. To be able to operate on these together you should immediately
group them after splitting.
With this vectorized form of the image, you can carry out operations familiar from
classic drawing programs, for example a curved warping operation. For such
transformations, it is much less effort to use a conversion with background tiles so
that the edges of the picture are straight.
