The tracing isn't really the pointIt's the first step that I'm trying to get the hang of, to open the door to messing about with the vectored result
I've done some freehand stuff too, but for complex images I want to understand how to create the vectors with pure software so that I can mess with it subsequently.

I'm not criticising you in any wayjust trying to lead you in a direction that you will have total control over your result rather than creating an image and wondering what you have to then do to alter it to something you might prefer. If you get used to working in a way that you are in control then it will speed up your process.

I knowI'm just trying to figure out how to get the software to vectorise a complex bitmap, but do it without showing the strokes. I can't seem to make it happen. Even if I reduce the stroke width to zero, zero the opacity, I still end up with stroke lines. It's driving me nuts.
For clearer, simpler images with stronger contrast within the colours, I tend to handtrace as you suggest. But for an image like this one it's really bloody hard to do, which is why I chose it for software vectoring.
