 Some of the settings will now be adjusted:

 Based on how loose the tracing appears to be, the Resample will be increased.
 Based on the excessive number of shapes, the Despeck setting will be raised to about 20. This will
eliminate any tiny shapes that are not wanted. Of course, it’s important to also make sure you do not
lose any fine detail you need.

 The number of Shapes was reduced from 113 to 23. This still seems high. However, remember that every
individual shape you see has a black outline shadow. In most paper piecing projects, you will probably
prefer the black outline to be a single background shape. This is where the Blackout Outlines option can
be applied.
 Also note that the lighter yellow on the flame is still missing from the image. If that detail is desired, then
increase the Count and, possibly, decrease Despeck, until the yellow centers of the flame appear. In this
case, a Count of 17 was required, but the Despeck was left at 20:
