How to get perfect outlines

Inlines/outlines and other contour effects are very common in logos and other graphics. When you auto-trace a logo the text and the outline are traced separately. This means that they will not become parallell.

When you use the FontEye™ tool to find the font and replace the text, the text will become perfect but the outline will look even worse now that the text has the right look. There is only one way to fix this and it is to recalculate the contour effect. In Graphics Renovator you only need to select the text and then click "Preview contour". The software automatically calculates the distance for the outline and draws a preview on top of the traced contour. You now only have to click the apply button to remove the old outline and replace it with a new contour created from the text which has the right typeface.
