Silver Bullet Cutters Forum

Okay, it's finally time. I get to post photos of my first major project made with my Lynx. This is a floating frame project. I put the white paper behind it just for viewing purposes. When I give it to my brother, it will be clear.



And a close up of one of the portraits.



I thought it would take FOREVER to cut because it had over 52,000 nodes. Surprisingly, it cut in about 5 minutes.

Sheri -

That is just awesome. What a thoughtful gift that will be cherished forever. Fantastic job!

Oh WOWZERS!!!!! FANTASTIC job!!

Sheri, that is simply amazing! So cool!

Thanks! I also posted it in the Gallery. I think. It acted funny and then was showing up twice so I deleted one of them. Anyway. Thanks for the compliments!

Oh, and this is my Niece. She's now a Sophomore at Stephen F. Austin University in Nacogdoches, TX.

Wow! I am VERY impressed

I love the bottom left picture as it seemed to capture her sparkle.

Oh - what a beautiful idea and one that nobody else will give. You did a great job.

Sheri, WOW that is great!!!!... I love working with vinyl and never even thought to do something like that. How did you do it?

Thanks again and here's how:

I worked with about 20 photos to find the ones I liked and that worked best. I use a free program called Paint.NET. Photoshop or any other photo editing software will probably work also. I adjusted the contrast to maximum settings to find the photos that would give me the best look. (IMPORTANT NOTE: Not every photo will work. There has to be sufficient contrast to give you the detail you want. Only trial and error will show which ones work the best for you.) Then I saved the adjusted image as a .jpg. I opened the images in MTC and adjusted the settings until I got the most details possible. For me, that was a Resampling setting of x5.0 and then each image was a different number for Threshold, Smoothing and Optimize. After each image was ready, I created a frame with 4 panes in it, sized each image to the same height and inserted. I did all of this with each image on a different layer. Then it was easy to cut them all at the same time. Hope that's clear enough to be understood.

beautiful honey. Great job!!!

That looks great!
