Hey Mark, That looks to be a very hard picture to work with. Everbody is on an angle. I would use a different pic, if I could.

Try posting the same question in the vinyl cutters section too.

Happy Veterans day early.

 

That looks to be a hard image to work with. Usually you need some good contrast in there to help. As Bob said, the angle is hard too. Especially with the dog.

 

Thanks guys.
What about this image then. ? Looking straight but smaller of him and dog.

Thanks
Mark

 

i'll give it a try, can't guarantee anything

 

sorry its not that smooth, but i gave it a try

 

I thought they were looking at doing a b/w image to cut in vinyl. Maybe I was wrong.

 

Seth, you are fast. Nice job considering the background.. Another tough pic, though.

 

thanks, i do what i can

 

Yes thats what I am looking to do.
But I like what he did. Removing all the background .

Thanks
Mark

 

I'm so confused,

Glad it worked out for you.

 

Thanks for the help. What I want to do is take that pic (but doesn't seem like it will work) and turn it into a b&w that I can cut on the vinly cutter and then press onto a black shirt.

Sorry if I wasn't clearer early. Still learning the terminology and methods.

Thanks again for the advice and help
Mark

 

I can fill it with black or whatever color u want

 

I think I quickly tried it with the photoshop stamp filter, and your son didn't look bad, it was the dog that you couldn't really tell what it was.

 

Mark, why don't you take a new pic that will work and not tell him why. That is, if he'll cooperate being all rebelious and stuff.

That made me laugh: 15 going on hospitalization... lol... and sorry to hear. That's the problem with babies, they always turn into teens.

 

Wanna thank everyone for their time and all.
So what photos work best for this type of application ? more like potrait photos ?
I would assume shots with litte or no background activity.

thanks all
Mark

 

A portrait would work better. Something with contrast.

 

Hi Mark , I would just use the image you have I think your family would be able to see what the image is and once you put some text around it I would go with that . Here is the JPEG for you to Vectorize . I thought it looked good enough in the cutting software I have after being converted to Vector
