How Do You Do That?

[Sylvia]

I did download the progam, managed to get a picture copied into it but wasn't able to figure out the proper tools to use to manipulate it. So in short got frustrated and downloaded an ebook with patterns. If there's a will, there's a way . I would rather draw my own patterns so they are original, hopefully I will figure it out someday.

Ok, let me give you a brief tutorial

1. you want simple designs with high contrast. Too much shading or too many colors make it harder.

2. Under "Adjustments" click "black and white"

3. Under "adjustments" click "brightness contrast" and slide the bars to the picture is nice and clean (typically brighter and more contrast)

4. Done. Save and print.

I'll give it a go again, I think the pic I used had to much contrast. I appreciate the time you have taken to reply to my post. Thank you Sylvia
