I got a Cameo two days ago and have already given up on Silhouette as a source of information or support. I have over 20 years experience with Photoshop and image editing software, but Silhouette Studio has me screaming blue murder. Perhaps I have too much history with Photoshop, etc. I’ve looked through the official manual, but it’s like trying to look up a word in the dictionary when you don’t know how to spell it.

I’m trying to make a stencil using a 12 x 12 file I got from the Silhouette store. I only want to use an 8 x 10 section of it. I don't want to resize it because the cut areas will be too small. Apparently there is no traditional Crop tool. I tried the Knife, but the software freezes in “Processing” mode and I have to force quit. Also tried Erasing an area and it did the same thing.

It would take 30 seconds to do this in Photoshop. Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated.
