I have been doing alot of reading since i ordered mine on sunday. I went to pick it up yesterday(thursday) tried it out in the store before I took it home, for two hours!
I live in ontario canada and had to go all the way to new york state to pick it up, I was that impressed by the video and the commercial.
Well in the store I got it to work from an object in the library YAY for me.
I packed it up spent almost an hour getting thru customs, dont ask.
get home unpacked it set it up happy as a pig in dodo.
start to do one of the many projects that I had ready(or so I thought) it looked like crap. for many reasons.
1. some of the wood that should have been taken away was still finely attached so I had to pull it off, thought to myself ok so some fine tuning.
2. it came out sideways must have been how I did it in the program no big deal note to self.
3. some of the parts of it were deeper than others (during my reading I found out that it is because of grey scale) so i have to make my pics black and white before i import them to designer.
and lastly there was one fine line within the carving that was there in spots and not in other spots i found a post that refered to this a little so i tried using the pattern outliner but I could not figure out how to make that line a little bigger so it would be there for the whole thing.
ok so i know I have only had it for one day BTW I should be at work right now LOL.
I really want this to work, but I need help. Actually knowing how I am and how I learn I really need to talk to someone who can walk me thru (over the phone on my dime would be preferred) what I need to do to an image to make it work.
and one more thing since last night I have tried a number of combonations and have not been able to finish another project without the z or y stopping it and not being able to resume.
Please help me I really need it for a couple of reasons,
1. I got my brother in law to go in on it with me because I was so excited and I don't want to let him down.
2. sears want 15% to restock it if I return it.
3. I spent 250.00 in duty and canadian tax that I am sure the government will not give me back.
Bottom line is I want it to work and I do not have a background in it at all, so I need to do it over the phone ( I will pay) just so I can understand better.
Please help me
