OK. I have been dithering about buying a Craft Robo for about 7 months now, mostly because I have a Mac but not Illustrator. Buying AI to run a Robo doesn't seem very cost effective!

So, what I do have is:
a Mac
Inkscape
Adobe Photoshop Elements
Craft Robo plugin for Illustrator

and what I can get is:
the new Silhouette software for Mac, which came out last week; and
a Craft Robo.

After some internet research, it would seem that the plugins for AI may also work with Photoshop Elements. Has anyone tried this? The plugin will open on my machine, but without a Robo to connect it to, I don't know if it works.

So my two questions are:
1. Will the AI plugin work in Photoshop Elements, and can you cut with it?
2. Has anyone tried the Silhouette software on their Robo, and does it work?

Hope y'all can help,

Margaret
