One thing that has not been mentioned is the pictures with the jpg extension lose information when they are saved as a compressed file. You and I most likely will not see a problem but the Carvewright will. Even converting it to the preferred format of png does not correct the problem. The Carvewright will try to carve what it sees and consequently the quality turns out pretty poor. Do a search on "jpg" or "png" and you will finds lots of info. (Don't forget the quotes when searching.)

If you feel frustrated and think you have made a mistake by getting a CW, get a piece of 1/4" corian or cast acrylic and carve a favorite picture. If you do not fall in love with the machine with that, you are way too angry/frustrated.

i have had to stop and read more before getting to the point of regreting getting this machine. i have seen the work you all have done and i know it has to be something i am doing so i am reading as much as i can before trying any more of the carvings
