    SignBlazer Elements 2007 Registration - HELP!

    Thanks Eric... I assumed when the "How to" said to install SBE... I installed MY purchased copy of SBE. I thought your sofware was some type of patch or cracked software that dug into my software.... I had no idea I was to install the SBE software from the file I downloaded from you. I guess I must be the most dense person on this board. Sorry about the mess......!

    I sent the money and downloaded the software... Sounded easy enough. Had trouble getting to the site but finally got it. Now I am having a bit of trouble loading what I got! The instructions say to install SBE (I assume the original software I purchased a couple years ago) then Drop the Sbnt_gen.exe in the same folder... But then I got an email from dbtoutfit saying to uninstall my SBE! Now I am confused again... I need to get this software loaded!!! thx

    Thanks, but... I can install my software no problem... It's just that when I go to use it I have to use in "Trial Mode" which I find a pain in the neck for a piece of software I paid money for....! It also says in order to get "Full USE" out of the software, get an activation Code. So now all I need to do once I have my software loaded is to download a patch (which I seem to never get patches to operate correctly) and install it? Thanks for you help

    newbie question,or two,please help

    I have found the vectorizing feature in SBE (if that's what you are using) is marginal at best. Your images need to be of excellent quality and from what I found, LARGE in size. Google Vectormagic and ust that. It used to be free but I think they charge now. I end up using the spline feature and outlining any images that are not already vectorized... not good news but saw that no one had answered.
  8. I realize that the company that wrote SBE has gone under or closed or whatever. So no support there anymore. The original software I purchased is Release 6.0.17 11Sep2007 Had to have my laptop hard-drive wiped... Lost SBE totally. Paid for 3 of these and gave one to my brother. I have to re-install the copy I used on this machne but have been reading multiple threads on this subject and still as confused as when I started. There are multiple links that multiple people are saying to go and download multiple free versions or whatever. Then use some hacking software to get rid of the registration screen so I don't have to keep clicking dialog boxes and wait forever for SBE to load..... All I want is one good link with SBE (not trying to get free software) and download it without problems and writing code, blah blah blah.. Some posts on here assume everyone is either a hacker or understand loading patches etc... arghhh CAN SOMEONE MAKE IT EASY FOR US MORTALS??? If I download an older version, can I still open up my old files? Thanks much...

    Selecting Objects...

    Not quite how right clicking on the colors below allow you to select items above! I get the small dialog box off to the lower left and have selected on color.... then what? It shows what colors I am using and "Select All" or "Deselect All" with another small box "Auto Select"? Guess I need to break out the manual.. thought this would be a simple do this or do that type answer...

    Selecting Objects...

    Thanks... It seems to work but now the file you sent over seems to have larger, oversized boxes wehn selecting them... prettty strange. Were they oversized when you sent them over?

    Selecting Objects...

    Not quite sure by what you mean "precisely" or "bullseye"... I have tried selecting objects in every fashion imagineable! clicking "precisely" on the object... zooming in... crossing window... moving items to the back, or front.. fast click... slow click... held my head to the left, then to the right... to no avail. I see no bullseye anywhere. Sure would be nice to be able to "toggle" through the objects on the screen. thanks anyway

    Cutting letter out lines

    I'm a bit fuzzy on what you are asking here.... If I think I know what you are asking, try playing with the "Expand" command

    vectorizing images

    SB has a vectoring command built in. It does not work real well (at least I am not getting acceptable results). I use it once in a while but not on real complicated images. 1. Select the jpg, bmp, tif or whatever in SB 2. Select the "Image" pull down 3. Select "Mode" then "Monochrome" 4. Then while the image is still in the select mode... use the "Image" pull down again and select "Vectorize" If anyone else has a better way I would be real interested....
