Need Pattern Help

[Jerrylouismartin]

I'm having problems getting this pattern to standout when I carve it? Need a little help.Leaf Top.mpc

Leaf Bottom.mpc

Any ideas on what I need to do to get them to stand out more on the pattern?

Thanks,

Jerry

The pattern itself appears to have rounded edges making it difficult to stand out. I tried using Outline Pattern to sharpen, but the outline is very jagged, like the original pattern was much smaller and enlarged the pixel edges are showing. You might try increasing the difference in depth between the background and leaf. If it were me, I would look for a simple leaf graphic online to import and make a crisper pattern.

There was a much better walleye pattern posted

but the link is broken. I hesitate to repost the pattern as it is not mine.

Do you have the original picture?? I'll give it a try if you wish.

Here is my attempt and it still needs refining. I grouped the components and then merged the group. Then I just played with the heights and depths. The quality of the original components is not very good so the overall quality will not be good either.

Thanks, I will look for a better leaf pattern.

l Appreciate the help, still does not come out the way I would like.

Need the leaf to standout along with all the 4 season stuff. Will work on it some more.

Need to spend the money and buy the importer, not sure which one and rework this some more.

Thanks,

Thanks, for the help. I used a pattern and I do not have the original picture.

Will rework and repost to get some ideas to make this pop!

Thanks for the help!!!

Maybe you can use this one I made. (You might try inverting the leaf so everything else "pops".)

These badges are very difficult to make. See the post by Alan http://forum.carvewright.com/showthr...524#post247524
