Silver Bullet Cutters Forum

I have a question. When I use the import or trace of this image in SCAL 4 to attempt to do print and cut of this Grinch image it perfectly outlines the Grinch but leaves that white area in between his legs & feet. Is there anyway I can print and cut that white area between his legs and feet as well?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Be sure that when you are tracing you don't have it set to blackout (that will give you just the outline). You can also play with the contrast to see if that outlines the inner. If you only get the outside lines. you can manually trace the inner sections. That is honestly easier than it looks. Just enlarge it and use the manual trace feature.

Honestly I think the contrast will be the answer, but don't be afraid to play with the different options in the trace pop up to see what results you get. Would love to hear what finally works for you.

Ok - I just played with it. I got a perfect trace (well pretty perfect) with mode on single color, contrast on 68, smooth on 82, detail on 50. I just played around and kept hitting update preview until I got close to the desired results. See if that works for you.

Thanks for your help. As soon as I get home I will try what you suggested. I'll let you know if it works for me.

Thanks again,

Ok good - it should. And as I said, in the future, don't be afraid to play around with the settings to get the results you want.
