cobusrsa

Hi, can some please post / repost a vid how to create just the silhouette line of a jpeg I am tracing? When try to trace the image (with choosing outline ) it all covered with different lines and interior detail as well. I want to cut out a colorful butterfly but cant generate the cutting lines. 
Tnx

@cobusrsa - what software are you using, MTC or Silhouette Studio?

Hi, MTC

Can you show the image
Enabling Black may help though its hard to say without seeing the image

@cobusrsa - here is a video on the Pixel trace options. You would use that to get the jpg into MTC. Then create a Shadow layer with a very small margin. Delete the jpg layer.

- Pixel trace
- Shadow function

MTC User Manual: https://www.iloveknk.com/0um/KNKZing/KNKZingwithMTCUserManual.pdf - ignore the first few chapters referring to the KNK Zing cutter. Chapter 3 MTC Basics. Use CTRL+F to search the PDF by typing in keywords.

Also, if you go to this link and scroll way down, you'll find a category in my videos called Preparing Print and Cut Projects.  There could be a few extra ones there that may help:  https://www.iloveknk.com/support/mtc-support/
