Default CorelDraw Images

does anyone know a way to make my image identical to the image before i traced the bitmap. whenever i trace the image and play around with the smoothing and detailing, i can get it pretty close to the original image, but i can't seem to get it identical. there is always something that is off. is there a way to do this?

That's normal. It's painting versus drawing.
Adding more colours to the palette will make your drawing look more identical to the picture, but it will never turn out the same as the original.
I'm not familiar with Coreldraw myself but I assume you can set some treshholds in the settings when tracing. Normally (for me in Illustrator) you want to keep the treshhold numbers low for a more identical look like the original.

the only way is to use the tools in DRAW and trace manually.
All the vector conversion trace progs out there will do a decent job yet will never by exact.

All you can do is get as close as possible than use the shape (node) tool to clean up the lines/objects manually.

Trace is not an Easy button, unfortunately.
