hi guys,
is it possible to convert a photo into a shilouette in cd. I have been playing around with a few pictures but not getting great results, although they are improving each time. What I want to do is convert a picture of my neice into a shilouette and maybe cut it in vinyl.
It is possible however to do it in a manner that's useful for you I would need to know the end use and quality. It can be done with a powerclip that will cause a hard edge, this would allow the use of a cut line around the image. I prefer to edit bitmap and take it into Photo-PAINT and use either a path or a mask where you can feather the edge.
I really just need nice smooth lines for cutting on a vinyl cutter
This is the best result so far and its still very jagged
Select the objects you think are jagged, switch to the Shape tool and reduce and/or smooth the nodes
The slider works fairly well for this sort of thing
