Demo summary

The demonstration shows how to take a non-vector AI generation, remove the background, and use the 'vectorize' tool to limit the color palette for screen printing.

Step-by-step

Select the image on the canvas
Click Remove Background
Click the Vectorize tool
Set the number of colors to match the original image palette
Adjust the color controls to refine the output
Use the Remove White toggle if necessary

Options

Limit the color count for screen printing compatibility
Change specific colors in the palette (e.g., black to white)

Watch out for

Complex gradients like flames may lose detail or look different when reduced to a few colors

Tips

Match the number of colors in the tool to the actual colors in the image (e.g., black, gray, orange, yellow)
Vectorizing is particularly useful for screen printing to keep color counts low before needing to switch to DTG or DTF
