I’m very very new at al this and watched so many videos and you explained better than anyone I’ve watched. Thank you so much

[@fbergmansr]

We had looked at so many Cricut KZbin videos to try and find information on how to erase other than the slice application. Thank you for posting this tip...IT IS A BIG HELP!

[@lil__spud]

Thank you so much- within 30 seconds I had the answer I'd been searching elsewhere for an hour!! Thanks a million x

I just recently (like Mother’s Day of this year, so 2-3 weeks ago) got a Cricut. This SAAAVED me SO much!!! There’s an image that’s all connected but different colors & it’s a simple image, just a couple sharp details. Before I would have to use the square & circle to break the shape up so I could get it the 4 different colors. This way is going to be so much more clean! THANK YOU!!!!

[@BrenwithAddictedToCricut]

Jessica Marsh .....when you upload the image, choose the bottom selection, something like detailed, I can’t remember right now. Then using the magic wand get rid of all the colors you don’t want. Do one color at a time and save each time as a cut image. Go back and do it again for each color. I hope this helps.

Lifesaver! I totally thought figuring this out would take forever and you literally helped in me minutes! ahhh! Thank you so much!

[@denisem5437]

I can always come back to your video to get the slice job completed.

[@judithschmitt2234]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I have been trying to find answers all evening and you just did it with one video!!

[@kajoyano]

THANK YOU, YOUR VIDEO WAS CLEAR AND TO THE POINT!

[@vickiekamp6170]

That was amazing. You explained it so well. I'm new to this and you helped me a lot. Thank you so much.

[@micheleschell8692]

I'm watching all your videos, great tips. I'm gonna have to practice this one a few times. Thanks

[@BrenwithAddictedToCricut]

This is a lot easier once you do it. Don't be afraid, just dive in there and do it. What can it hurt? Thanks for watching my videos!

[@denisem5437]

Your video helped me out, so much. Very informative. Thank you

[@josie4061]

[@BrenwithAddictedToCricut]

That makes me so happy! Please let me know if I can help with anything else......Bren

[@stephaniesmith6531]

Fantastic!! Thank you so much 😁

[@threat3n504]

Ur the best! :)

[@ExaltedWarrior]

Did you know that you can do some of these edits on the canvas using the contour option?

[@travelintippy9266]

I agree.

[@HH-ey5mn]

I can't get the app to open the image into that first part where you can select complex. It just puts it on the canvas. I can't find any solution to this. Does anyone know how to get it to open that first part instead of just putting it on the canvas? I'm unable to take out any lines

[@hortensiaguerra881]

I'm new to the Cricut family and I noticed that "select image type does not come up. Could i be doing something wrong. Can you give me any pointers. Thanks

[@Sandyzth1]

And I’m also confused about editing uploaded images. Where certain things will be clicked on to remove. I hope that makes sense

[@BrenwithAddictedToCricut]

Try this post. It also has a video. Thanks! smartcuttingmachinefun.com/how-to-upload-images-to-cricut-design-space/

[@aliciagreen779]

Did you upload it as an svg?

[@BrenwithAddictedToCricut]

no

[@stizzy76]

How do you unlock the box. I do what u said and it stamps out the image on the shape

[@BrenwithAddictedToCricut]

I am not sure what box you want to unlock, but you can unlock the size by clicking on the lock above the size in the tool bar on the top. Well top for me. I am on a pc. Does that help?

[@ktttt3664]

How do you erase stuff using cricut design space on an iPhone? Is it possible?

[@BrenwithAddictedToCricut]

Kaitlyn Kagin .....erase isn’t a feature available. I use the Slice feature to slice out what I want to erase. But remember, you can only slice 2 objects. So either separate objects or text away from what you are slicing or weld your image all together and the slice out what you want to erase. Think it through before you start and don’t be afraid to use the back button. It helps got back a step for my opps moments.

[@FozzieAndMangoDoTheTango]

But what happens when it just automatically uploads as a "simple file" so you can't erase parts?

[@vampiregoat69]

what a HEADACHE

[@BrenwithAddictedToCricut]

They don't make it easy, do they?

[@HeartlandFamilyDesigns]

Is there a way to do this with images that come from Cricut? You don't technically 'upload' them so this isn't an option.

[@BrenwithAddictedToCricut]

Those are usually SVG files and you can separate each layer by ungrouping them. You may need to unattach them first. Try that

[@mickeyg8325]

When I'm uploading my image, it is skipping the step to choose simple//complex. What do I do??

[@BrenLittlepage]

That usually means it’s an SVG file. If it’s not an SVG file, I am confused as to why it would skip that part too.

[@terrellsmith6715]

It’s annoying you can’t just change the color buy choosing a paint option

[@Rosamarianv]

I'm struggling here 😭😭

Please join our FB group...the link is above...and we can help you there. You will love this once you figure it out.

[@dwsmith7072]

Cricut is by far the worst editing program ever made. I used many programs in the 90's, as a vinyl artist for a sign company, and theybwere more user friendly waaaaay back when.
