Helen is happy for me to add an adaption to her lovely first print and cut.
I have taken her rose and using PSP have removed some of the petals to create a layered rose.
I have also added some greanery, it is not as good a quality as the rose but looks fine once cut.
This is going to take a few minutes as I need to go back in PSP and remind myself.
Ok I’m back. Now this is my method, but I would love to know if any one has a better methods.
Open a jpg file in PSP
Use the Selection tool to surround the shape with as small a box as possible.
Copy (Ctrl C), Paste (Ctrl V) this will copy the image into a new document- you can either save this as a jpg now or do it later.
Go back to the original image and remove the areas you don’t want. I first zoom in until I can properly see the area I want to delete and then I use a combination of both the Eraser and the Background Eraser and different sized heads to remove the areas I don’t need.
Now Select Copy and Paste again on as small a box as possible and put it into another new document and save it as a jpg
I keep on doing this until I have all the layers I want. I save all the documents into a single folder. I then go to ROBO master and use Insert/ File to get all the layers into my print file. This gives me the print part of the file I then work on the cutting by using either the Autotrace or the 2 spline tools. In fact I normally try the Autotrace and then end up using the spline tools.
