Image Distorted

Post by Bobbiep »

I am new to Craft Edge. I scanned a business card on my printer and pulled it up in SureCuts Trace Image. I need to make it really BIG and when I start sizing it, it gets all distorted an speckled and cant' make out image. It there something else I can do? Please someone help me! :roll:

You have to work for the clearest trace...adjust the top number up and down for the best results you can find....then, once it is traced and on the mat you would check the box for 'keep proportions' to resize. You will have to go to Edit and Select all and Object Break Apart, because you might have double lines....so then you would pull those out of the way, if needed and delete them.

It would be best for you to upload the scan here, and let someone who is here at the time take a look, and see if you can get some help...but if you don't want to do that, then try the things mentioned above.

I can not help this evening, but perhaps tomorrow.

Thank you so very much for offering to help me. You have no idea how much I appreciate it. I am going to see if I can upload the image. Please let me know if you get it.

I believe the blur is to show action, perhaps...not sure how much of it you want to remain. You might be better off just typing with a similar font and adding the underline.

this should give you a nice clean cut.

I used similar fonts, and then tweaked them to match since I couldn't find an exact match.

Hope this works out for you.
