OWJones 1,981 Posted August 29, 2014 That's Vinyl Master? The reason I ask is the outline of the L in GAMBLER - that little spike on top caused the outline to shoot up way high and that always bugged me in CorelDraw X3 which is why I finally gave up, paid the money and upgraded to X6 - only to find it does the exact same darn thing!!!!! If you are using CorelDraw and you see it do that same thing again, I figured out how to fix it. In the Contour settings, change the Contour Corners from Mitered Corners to Round Corners, and suddenly those spiky extensions disappear! Maybe Vinyl Master has a similar setting you can try... PS: most people probably won't even notice that, I only did because that was a thorn in my side for quite some time... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mercer57 243 Posted August 29, 2014 I have Corel draw, but I am using Vinyl master v4 pro. The trace to vector in the VM works better than corel I think, it only traces the major colors not all the minor shades like corel and give you 20 colors when you only need 2 or 3 for a layerd cut. Thanks for the tip on the spiking I wondered about that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
