I was asked how I make a Photo from Online, into a textured Pnt Pattern. First I take a Screen Shot of the picture I want to use and save it as a Png file,
then copy it to Paint. Net ( you can use most any Graphics Program) I use the Crop tools to keep only what I want as, a Rectangle, Ellipse, or Free Form Shape,
or you can use the erase tool to remove what I don’t want. Now I save the cropped photo again as a Png file and Import into my CW Designer
to make a Ptn Pattern that I can modify if I wish in the Pattern Editor --- it’s now ready to use in a Mpc file and Carving.

We're gonna have to start slappin' these junior members around a little, Ken.

Where's Al? (You didn't think I was gonna risk messing up this pretty face, did you?)
