    I take a photo and edit, edit, edit, edit, and edit some more, before I can cut it, then yes only weed the inside. and put it on a mirror. and use armour etch,

    I haven't had any luck with LiveTrace in Illustrator. it just does not get the detail I want, and even with inkscape 's trace, I dont cut with it, I use the live trace in my software that came with my plotter,

    and yes it's a lot of work getting the detail just right, sometimes I use 2 or 3 different programs when I do them,

    After hand painting signs for 20 years as The Sign Lady, and now doing  small signage Decals and Stickers. I wanted a name everyone would remember, it is easy to stick vinyl lettering or a decal on just about anything, I came up with "Stickertoit" even tho I sell on the net, in town I hear I know you, your Stickertoit, so I guess it stuck lol.

    Hi, I am doing the Photos to Decals, and was going to charge $19.99 for them. but some have said that is to low of a price to charge. What do you think I should Charge for them???  here is a slide show I put together on myspace page so you can see the ones I have done so far,  www.myspace.com/nutttsoo

    I am also thinking about etching them on mirrors,

    all suggestions are welcome

    Awww NEVER GIVE UP!!! maybe you are trying to hard, step back and take it one step at a time, a good clear graphic will trace good in inkscape. or even your plotters software, start with something with very little or no detail and when you get that pat. move up to more and more detail. I know you can do it, if this Nuttty Old Lady can. YOU! can.

    I think I am moving to your neck of the woods. if I could get that much out of the Photo to Decals lol

    I thought if you would like to see all the Photo to Decals I have done so far, I put them on MySpace page, Beware The Photo of me might scare ya lol     www.myspace.com/nutttsoo 

    that way I'm not filling up all the space on the forums here

    Have a Look see and let me know what ya think of em.

    Some have asked How I am doing them and wanting me to give instructions on how. and I don't want everyone thinking I'm mean for not letting you know, the thing is I have only been doing them for a few weeks, I was trying to do the profiles like I seen done in the topic "mY GIRLFRIEND AND i"

    well I never got the profiles to turn out right. but seen I could get more detail in the pic, so I played with it and am still learning, it is not as easy as it seams. when I get it down pat I will try to explane to all how to do it in the right place on the forums here ok.

    The hardest part is getting the detail in the faces, and the weeding, hubby says I am going to go blind weeding the tiny cuts, lol

    I seen on the forum here about making the mask for glass etiching, I had no idea it could be done with vinyl, so I tryed it on a cup,

    my daughter inlaw Loves Dale Earnhardt jr so I tryed him, this one I flubed up, I put his dads sig on it had to do it over, sent hubby back to the store to get me more cups, the pic does not show all the detail on it.

    sorry I wish I could, but it's not a step by step process, depending on the photo it could take hours getting the settings just right for it to trace right, then you have  print and scan it back to clean it up so there will not be lots of tiny cuts,  some photos will work right off others can be a pain,
