I need an image adjusted and we both suck at things like photoshop...


Anyway, the image can be found here:

It's the Marquee Sign 1, visible on the left.  We need that shape to be 8" X 5" with smoothed edges.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It's not exactly the same, I decided it would be easier to do it from scratch (using the nifty brace key {  ) than it would to try to clean that one up. I can edit it further if you want, like filling in the background etc, but enjoy.

I sure do appreciate that...But I think we got it sorted out.  We're having issues with thick lines, though.  We're cutting this stuff out with a cricket and we're having issues getting it to cut out an outline of an item as opposed to cutting out the lines.  Fun stuff.

How do you like the Cricket?  Kinda expensive for not doing what I need, but hey... I can't get the BEST for a couple hundred. lol

Don't you need a vector graphic for that?

Does great for the most part...well, after we got Cricut Design Studio to update the firmware and spent the $75 for sure cuts a lot (no need for cartridges then).  About $450 into it, but a good investment for what we do,

Can you explain that 'mod' for not using cartridges?  That the main reason why I didn't get a cricket...  I didn't wanna be tied down to just the designs that were made for it.

Sure Cuts A Lot is a program that allows you to plug the cricut into your computer and cut your own designs.  It's a pretty cool little program, but it is expensive ($75...not THAT expensive, but yeah) and it's a bit tricky to figure it out.  There's a lot of info out there: http://www.craftedge.com/

i would love to be able to take an existing pic of my truck and add on mods that i am thinking of doing before hand to see what they look like. if u know or can show me how e-mail me at gsfrankieg@yahoo.ca   i would love to learn how to do it.
