Creating a path from a picture
#1
Hello
I am using GIMP and INKSCAPE to do cloth personalisation and up-cycling, on LINUX 16.04 Xubuntu.
I have a picture of a stitch garment in 2 colours. (see attachement for a picture with reduced definition)
I would like to get a path from this picture in order to use it in INKSCAPE.
I have tried to use colour selection then selection to path; But the path contains some 35000 nodes and when open in INKSCAPE it never comes back.

I have a high picture definition. I thought about reducing the definition but I am afraid to get "staircases" instead of curves. Do you have any suggestion on howx I could reduce the number of nodes. Is there a modificcation of the image before doing the selection which could help. The "contiguous coulor "selection does not work any better. So any help would be welcomed.
