importing files

[pipesy]

We've just bought and installed a craft robo silhoutte. The first impressions are its an excellent buy! I'm working my way slowly through the tutorial but would like to know if anyone can explain the following ; I want to import an image from photos I have. Can I use a pdf and do I create a shape first then drop it in or drop the pic in then create the shape. i hope this makes sense! Pipesy

Hi, i used a CR for a number of yrs, I found it best to convert the image to EPS if its for silhouette cutting i.e stickers of one colour . Or if i was contour cutting i would just import image as jpg then draw the cut line around it and reg marks for dye cutting..Lots of uses for the CR but a bit tricky to start...Hope this helps
