Adjusting slant in Silhouette Studio

[OodlesofStroodles]

Can someone tell me how to get the slant option?
I thought you held shift or control, or something...

TIA.

So, it seems there's no option to slant in Studio.

I have a photo that has distorted letters (that I need to straighten) and I need to trace them for cutting in vinyl. I'd like some ideas on how I can fix this.

I have photoshop - is there a way to manipulate the photo, maybe?

Any help would be appreciated.

You could be looking for the Skew option, which is part of the Designer Edition.

Select you file and use the handle with the circle to rotate as much as you need or use the rotate icon on the top toolbar next but one to the right of the text icon

The slant option isn't available in the free version of Studio if that's what you have

Thanks Doreen. Yes, that's what I'm after. I looked at downloading the design edition but (even though I don't have the funds right now) it says it can only be downloaded by US residents. Or have I got that wrong? I'm in Australia.

there are other retailers that you can buy them as download (legitimate) but you have to search I cant give you the address sorry but search downloadable studio designer edtion and check the terms I got my from a company in the usa as download -

or you may want to ring someone who stocks and ask if you buy it if they will give you the serial number over the telephone...

Follow the prompts in your Studio help menu. If you are running version 2.0.0 or newer, the DE software is installed but hidden in your system. Silhouette will send you a licence number in return for your payment which will activate the hidden software.

Alternatively, try Googling the Australian resellers for the Cameo, they should be able to sell you a Designer upgrade code or card. (Try Scrapbook Boutique or possibly Skat Katz )
