I am having alot of trouble trying to get this image to to get into designer and look decent. I was using photoshop until my laptop screen broke and now I'm using a netbook which doesn't have the power to actually use photoshop and paint just isnt doing the job lol. So I was wondering if anybody would have any ideas on how I can make this image look decent in designer so I can get it to carve properly.

Thanks

If just the laptop screen is bad, have you considered getting an external screen/monitor to plug in to the laptop?
The unit is not dead, it just has a bad screen! Lots of folks use an external screen, as well as keyboard and mouse, making the laptop a mini CPU.

I am not the best at this and I wish I had the pattern editor software. I did this in paint.net turned it into grey scale and cleaned it up then saved as png. so here go's hope it helps.

Thanks for the help, I was having trouble cleaning it up but that looks great. As for my screen I am planning on getting a new Macbook soon so I didn't want to stick money into an external monitor. and Macs aren't cheap lol

Here is a ptn file of your picture may be easier to use than a mpc for what you want to use it for

I liked what this crest looked like so decide to make a pattern form it too. So here it is.

gregsolano, you did a great job on the pattern.

Thanks, I gave it to him in a MPC because i did some adjustments in designer in order to finish the ptn. I am learning.

He can extract the PTN from the MPC. many time I list the MPC since you can upload a larger size file in MPC.

If you make adjustments in designer, group the patterns and adjustments, then choose make pattern to make it into a pattern.

I had not even noticed the make into a pattern option until you posted this. I learn something every time I get on this.
