Jay2703 704 Posted August 24, 2008 If you add the text right from SignBlazer there is no need to vectorize them. Everything that is created in SignBlazer is vector already. After you select CUT, a new window comes up. There are bars with color names used in your design in the window. Only the colors that are selected in that window will appear and be cut. You can select multiple colors by holding the ALT key down while clicking on them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nbeaton 1 Posted August 24, 2008 I should have put in there that its graphics from my scanner. Sorry about that. But I would still like to find out how to get them to go I am new at this and when the software doesn't come with books its hard to figure it out.

Jay2703 704 Posted August 24, 2008 If you are trying to cut images that you have scanned in, first you have to turn them into vector format. SignBlazer Elements allows you to do this. Import the scanned image into SignBlazer (You can scan them directly from Sign Blazer too) Select the scanned image. Select Image + Mode + Monochrome 1 Bit A panel will appear to adjust the threshold level. Slide bar to the right shows more detail (and noise) Slide to the left and you get less detail Adjust to your preference. Try a few times and see what works best for the specifig graphic Click OK on threshold settings Select Image + Vectorize Elements only has one Setup in the next panel so just click OK Now you have a Vector Image and your original .jpg or .bmp image (Raster) Delete your original image. What you are left with you can cut on your cutter. Hope this helps... Jay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
