Cute Cutter

[Rockytime]

Not wanting to hijack another thread I'll start a new one. jerrye posted a pattern made with Cute Cutter. I tried it but as was previously said all the whites have to connect. I downloaded my cat's photo. The outcome looks impressive but obviously the whites do not connect. Not knowing anything about gimp or inkscape, can these programs be used to create a workable pattern or does one need a photograph. Hope nobody minds a stupid question.Patchie.svg

Don't know near enough to help you...but watching for good info!

Once you run the photograph through any graphics program, whether it's Gimp or Cute Cutter, more work is still needed.  You'll need to take the black and white that you got back from Cute Cutter, save it to your computer, open Inkscape and finish connecting all the white together.  If that's what you are asking.  If you are now asking if someone can make a pattern for you, with the image that you've posted here, you'll need to go to the Pattern Request thread and ask someone to make a pattern for you there.  I hope that helps answer your question.

Beautiful kitty!

 

Cute Cutter has a way to connect the floaters.

 

While your project is open, move the slider all the way over to "Cutout."

Move the zoom slider all the way to the right.

Select "Touchups" making sure "Paintbrush" is highlighted/selected

Move "Brush Size" slider all the way to the left.

Select "White" in "Touchup Color."

Left click on a white area, and drag to another white area. This will connect them. Keep doing this until floaters are all connected.

 

I find that I often will not connect all of the floaters. Some I will delete by selecting black as my color and erasing them. You can also use this color setting to thin out white areas that seem to be too thick. If any black areas appear thick, you can thin them out using white as your brush color.

This is one reason that I like the Original-Cutout slider. While editing, I can easily look at the original image to determine which white areas need to be connected, thinned, or eliminated, as well as which black areas need to be thinned or eliminated.

Of course you can always make the pattern using the program, print it, and then take care of floaters and heavy areas using black & white gel pens.
