Depending on the quality and complexity of your image, you may have an unwanted amount of nodes. Select your object with the Edit path by nodes tool (F2) again. Select your vector object and move it to the side. Your image is now a vector object with paths and nodes. When you’ve got everything dialed in, click “ Update” and “ OK”, and close this dialog. Keep an eye on the window that shows what you’re changing as you change it. You’ll want to adjust the rest of the settings according to your image. In the dialog, select “ Color Quantization,” and set your Colors to 2. With your raster image selected, go to the Path menu and select Trace Bitmap (Shift+Alt+B). You’ll also notice the edges are a little fuzzy or pixelated. If you use the “ edit path by nodes” tool (F2), you’ll see that we have no nodes to select.
