    But so far, I'm satisfied for the first few tries
    I think the detail on your scans are coming out much better than mine did. Are you having to clean them up after the scan? is the one i did and it just seems to be lacking the detail.

    If you have any scanning needs let us know.Check Out Our Patterns in the depot under eromran

    If you allow it to happen, you can let today erase all of yesterday or if you choose,you can let yesterday erase the rest of your life.

    The two scans of the belt buckle are straight from scanner and saved, no adjustments. I'm not sure what if any of the software would help improve the scans.
    I'm to new at this to advise on the fine points of the software.

    Default size of scan material

    has a lot to do with it. if you scan something small and try to enlarge it a bunch it may not be good enough. but the 4" carve of a 4" scan item should look almost identical. now saying that the type of wood has a lot to do with it too. dense wood should produce nicer carves.

    ...also, don't forget to assign "Bit Optimization: Bit Optimization: BEST" to the pattern as well as choosing the "BEST" setting when uploading the project to the memory card - otherwise the detail may/will suffer in the finished project.

    Default just my personal preferance(don't care for the feather)

    but this is how i like it.box1myway.mpc just cut the bottom section with the name off with a chopsaw. maybe roundover the edges on the lid with a router.

    fiddle around with the editor some too. the hole in the rose petal can be fixed. use the eyedropper to pick a place right beside the hole then use the paint brush to paint the hole. its so little you may not have to use the blur tool on it after painting.
