Was there a whole lot of work to do on it in inkscape? Well, I understand if you don't answer here, but I sure do appreciate seeing this work you've done. Wow, I may just have to give this a try. I have only worked with vinyl &transfer tape once..it is a little tricky, but gosh, look how beautiful your results are. TFS and see you round this place. Bye.
I didn't have to change the color of the photo at all. I did take out the background in Photoshop though. Then I just imported it into Inkscape, did a Path;Trace Bitmap and tweaked the Brightness Cutoff #'s up until it looked like I wanted, did Path; Object to Path, saved it an imported it into SCAL and cut.
I had tried it with some other pictures in the past and didn't like the result but this one seemed to just click.
Thank you an everyone else for the very kind comments!
