rljohn56 Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 does anyone in the community use this software and if so how do you rate it? also are there other similar ones out there that might be better. I do a lot of portraits and use Photoshop Elements 15 which i like, but this products claims to make the process easier & faster. Just curious. thanks, Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOE_M Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 I use some slightly more expensive software for my cnc router (Vectric V-Carve) it does image tracing to vector and a lot more. But I often find myself just pulling up inkscape (free) and it takes about 20 seconds to load an image, hit Path -Trace Bitmap - OK, delete original image and save the trace.

MTCowpoke22 Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 I bought one of the earlier versions and it was, by far, the worst computer program I've ever tried to use. Started using Gimp, and really like it. Plus, Gimp is free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
125 CSL Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 I have been thinking about getting it for a while now, mostly because I really do not like gimp. Steve Good gives a review on youtube.. A few others, but not really enough so you get a great idea about how it will really preform once you buy the software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 They used to offer a free trial download WAY back in the day.. I tried it and at the time I liked it.. BUT.. that was when I was first starting to do my own patterns etc.. tools for it was quite limited back then.. Then I bought Corel draw.. mainly because way back when there was several designers getting out of woodworking and designing work and was hitting the road in a RV.. some gave me a lot of templates patterns where all I needed was to fill in the names for personalized type items.. they was done and saved in corel draw and wouldn't open in any other program... I never bought any updates for corel and now the old program won't run on windows 10.. I now use inkscape.. and actually find that it is easier to use than the others are.. but you mentioned portrait work.. and gimp is my go to for that.. I learned to do that from the videos posted on here by Travis.... not super great at it as I don't do patterns much so when i do I have to watch the videos again to refresh my mind.. LOL While I like custom work.. I really don't care for the designing parts.. rather pay someone to design for me so i can stay out in the shop doing what I really love... making sawdust.. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
