kmmcrafts Posted March 23, 2021 Report Posted March 23, 2021 I need to crop everything out of this image and just have the cat.. Trying to make a CNC carving of my cat.. I created a nice design but don't like the couch and all the background stuff.. I have both inkscape and gimp.. Prefer to learn inkscape method but will do whatever the easier one is, LOL Quote

Tomanydogs Posted March 23, 2021 Report Posted March 23, 2021 Kevin I use GIMP for this, super easy. Just google how to crop background, lots of you tube on this, and much better then I can explain it. kmmcrafts 1 Quote

I figured it might be time to learn the pattern making side of things.. I've done this method for a lot of years and works well for scroll saw work.. Not so much for laser and CNC work.. and I've wanted to learn it anyway.. I just never taken the time to do so. Over the years I have learned these programs and designing a little.. more and more each time I use them.. Until I get into something I haven't done yet. Quote

Now that I slept on it I know what I wasn't doing, LOL Quote
