There are plenty of instructions online how to use the tracing feature in Artrage 5. So I'll talk about the quality of the results instead. I found it best to use pencil - fine precise liner with the size set from 1-20 (This is good for a pencil sketch look).
I can predict that the speed I will be able to trace images will increase massively. I won't have to set up a carbon paper tracing and won't have to store it anywhere (with a risk of it being scratched). Artrage 5 saves both the image layer you are copying from and your top copy layer (a virtual tracing paper that has a variable opacity) as one file. You can export your finished tracing to be used in other art programs or in Artrage itself. The completed tracing can be worked up into a finished digital painting or left as a pencil sketch for example (as it's very convincing! See below.)
