I've heard alot of people use Inkscape which is a free program they say. I myself use AI CS3 trace options or manually do traces when needed. Cut Studio is not a very high end program.
all i want to do is trace images and import it as an eps into cutstudio, ive been trying everything what am i doing wrong?????
What you are doing wrong : first get a clean image, good resolution. If you are going to use Illustrator, export it as .bmp.
Photoshop doesn't export nor save as .bmp, just as jpg, but it never worked for me.
Open CutStudio, import the *.bmp file you created previously, and THEN do the trace.
Illustrator, even being it a "high end" program, send the work to CutStudio, for it to cut, assuming you installed the plug in.

You are talking about creating vectors. Inkscape can't send the image to the cutter directly for contour cut or for any cut for that matters.
I would not say CutStudio is a very low end program, is a basic program, with most of the tools needed, and if you know how to use it, it may be more than enough.

cut studio is too much mucking around when you have complex images to trace it just takes too long, all i want to do is get a program to perfectly trace it for me and then shouldnt you be able to save it as an eps and then just import it to cut studio so just the cut line shows up in cutstudio when u import it???
