knucklebucket 8 Posted September 30, 2012 I have this design I drew the skull and added the tribal flames to it but I can't find or figure out how to erase or clean up the merging of the two. I am using this for a stencil for airbrushing a tank. can someone help me clean it or tell me how to do it. thx very much. knucklehead skull.SBD 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speleopower 46 Posted September 30, 2012 Thats going to be very difficult to do in Signblazer. Use Inkscape. Open the original drawing in Inkscape. Goto the Help section in Inkscape. Read through and follow all of the Tutorials and then go back and re-read the Tutorial on "Tracing". You want to goto the "Path" menu and click on "Trace Bitmap". Which is Shift+Alt+B. That will give you a good starting point to edit the nodes either in Inkscape or Signblazer. I have found doing basic node editing is easiest for me in Signblazer. -Scott Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mb20music 760 Posted September 30, 2012 That would be easy to do in Signblazer, would take me about 5 minutes or so. You will have to start over fresh though. Looks like you already "combined" the two images so it would be hard to fix. If you can post the SBD file with the skull and flames separated I will fix it and tell you what I did.

knucklebucket 8 Posted September 30, 2012 it won't let me load the flames I try in jpg format Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted September 30, 2012 It will be difficult because your scull is lines and your flame is solid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speleopower 46 Posted September 30, 2012 Ooops. I was thinking you wanted a skull and flame outline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
knucklebucket 8 Posted September 30, 2012 no customer wants skull with tribal flames behind it and left artistic representation to me so i want the tribal flames to attach behind so i can merge them together with paint. I could do it seperately but would be much easier to do on one stencil instead of two Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

knucklebucket 8 Posted September 30, 2012 anyone who likes this design feel free to download it. I don't get to do much for this forum because I mainly use my cutter for stencils and I am still on a big learning curve so it's not often I get to share with anyone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
