[@KaySquared81]

Oh My Goodness, I am new to this and the layering of the two images is PERFECT. I am about to try this now... MASTER MOVE!!!! THANK YOU

[@humanbeing4109]

This was EXACTLY what I was trying to figure out. Thank you so much!

[@paulolodicora4471]

Hi there, yes your tutorial yet still the best, I was doing stencils in another program, but now it seems more practical, and fast. Much obliged and cheers from Brazil!

[@natashawinter2134]

Omg ... this is literally the first tutorial I've watched where the version is the same as mine ... I've been having to watch other videos and then figure out which buttons do the same on mine THANK YOU ...!!

[@ErinEnsley]

Happy to help!

[@elizabethjones6961]

I can't believe this actually works! Thank you!

[@ErinEnsley]

Happy to help!

[@lobitome]

I have never considered doing a second one and combining them. Makes total sense though. And a time saver.

[@2848Adriana]

Hi Erin, Thank you for a great video, I have just found your channel and have subscribed, there is so much to learn with the silhouette program, and it is up to date, TFS, Cheers Anna.

[@PurpleViolet92]

[@ErinEnsley]

[@cherirossouw8066]

[@salahoua1]

Thank you, Erin. Very helpful indeed.

[@tourinojacks5844]

Sweet tutorial! Love it!

[@charlottefarmer7160]

You make it look so easy. This has always been difficult for me. Great video. TY

[@charlottefarmer7160]

I am thinking out loud. You appear to be so efficient with the Sil, a little fast on tutorials but I watch several times. Just found you this week, I am asking......I have Sil used 4 yrs off and on been thru the Big C.., but I have always wanted to do the fancy monograms and glyphs. I have monogram KK have lots of trouble cutting still. Would like to purchase Samantha but scared of it. I have a sports glyphs in my fonts, try to use and it does away with the design I am trying to add it to. So much I don't know still. Any chance you could back up a little and go into detail with glyphs and example uses and delicate fonts. I am watching all yours trying to catch up. TY

[@1primexample]

Awesome tutorial!!

[@oliviatooley7211]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I had finally found a work around, but after a few weeks of not using it, I completed forgot what I had done. Now I know the toast is the button. 😀

[@dougfresch513]

[@janicepiggott5369]

How do you get the image to design page?

[@daryanprint4741]

Tq my idoll🥰

[@cutflower36]

wow, i didn't know you could do this on a cameo, is the software hard to learn?

[@keitranvirgil1368]

I like your way of tracing. Can I practice that on the free version?

[@kathleen7849]

Thank you

[@bLuNTsMoKe251]

question I just hooked up my cameo and I’m trying to do a quick press with one of the pics in the library but it keep saying registration mark failed even tho I have checked on.. please help and thanks again..

[@karenthompson6912]

Erin, DO you have a video that teaches how to make the layered pieces into individual pages for a layered shadow box file? One where you can do sections and layer then put a light behind it and the image is highlighted by the paper and the light.

[@danieljack9214]

Instablaster

[@philipedwardcaddick4294]

Hi unfortunately I have a portrait am I right that it would not support sillotte v4. 1 hope to hear from you soon Phil

[@angelescobar-reyes8159]

A piece of toast ... lol!!! I will never see a butterfly again lol

[@pebblesgainey1998]

Once I trace it,can I print only the traced image and use the trace image to print on fabric

[@darlenedugan9144]

Will this work for etching instead of cutting?

[@gostyjose6823]

Nice one, i was worried on how to make these red marks disapear.

[@AniyahCottonShow]

how do you add color like if you wanted to make her face brown

[@ErinEnsley]

Thanks for asking! I have another video that goes into color coding. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZ3Zo5dum6iincU

[@nancymedina6667]

Hi where do you find images of celebrities in black and white?

[@shobanabikkhu7467]

Could you tell me, that software name?

[@alvaroperezjr9950]

Hello Erin me again, is there a way to reverse the tracing? I'm probably not using the right verbiage but I want to see what it would look like if the cut out pieces are now the filled pieces.

[@ErinEnsley]

So I don’t have a video on how to do this, but I’ll try to explain it. After you have the image traced highlight it and then on the right hand side of your screen is a Star - this is to do an offset - click this and you can change the size before you by apply. Now you will have to move the offset out of the way and click it, right click and release compound path and take out the bits in the middle. Then place it behind your trace - highlight everything, right click and make a compound path.

[@alvaroperezjr9950]

Erin Ensley I'll give that a try, thanks

[@rebecamay7872]

Will be trying this. Thank you

[@ErinEnsley]

No problem

[@TheSande52]

Thanks for this video. But, how do I turn an image to black and white? Thanks again.

[@ErinEnsley]

If you don’t have photoshop find a free one online like PicMonkey, GIMP or Photo POS Pro - just to name a few.

[@TheSande52]

Thank you. So much to learn

[@brittanyfeldman3564]

You can also use Microsoft Word or PowerPoint. Not as fancy as photoshop or Lightroom but most people have access to the MS office suite.

[@brokensunnier4098]

Erin, would you consider doing a image for hire for me for a memorial? I don't have the patience or skill you have!

[@ErinEnsley]

I will send you a message.

[@michaelgurule2089]

@erin Ensley can i hire you as well i have 4.1 but ,y studio doesnt have low pass setting and i cant figure this picture out

[@edwinalramsey7107]

I'm a newbie, how do you get photos into silhouette from an android phone?

[@aliennalien2397]

What application name help pls???

[@mandyunger3878]

What settings do you use to cut please

[@ErinEnsley]

I just use vinyl settings - but it will really depend on your trace and how intricate it is. You may have to speed it up or slow it down.

[@blaq627]

Hello Erin, How do you turn a color picture into black & white?.....Thanks for you time, that was a great tutorial.

[@ErinEnsley]

Great question! I show you how to do that in SIL in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bISwaHR9Z9CMZ7M

[@blaq627]

Thank you so much

[@joseivanortega4625]

I'm new and just wondering how do a get that round light on my arrow, everyone seems to have it but me.🤘😅

[@ErinEnsley]

It’s part of my screen grabbing program. It allows me to highlight my mouse and make the circle around it as bi as I want.

[@darlenealdridge5376]

I dont.have it either!

[@ErinEnsley]

I use a program that films my screen. There is an option on that to highlight my arrow. I select YES and the size of the circle around my arrow. Nothing to do with my laptop itself, just the extra program I use.

[@mrs.cashfenty2479]

Now when you trace you can fill area by putting your threshold to 100 to trace the whole image. Every area should be filled with yellow.

[@ErinEnsley]

Not true for every image. It can still leave random dots and add extra clean up to your image.

[@Ur_notbeingveryfamilyfriendly]

Can the picture be jpeg?

[@meaghanlarsen1618]

I used a black and white of my dog and when I trace it, I get a yellow blob. No part looks like a dog. I used a picture I took on my iPhone and made it a black and white photo

[@ErinEnsley]

Push your threshold down. It’s reading too much of the black.

[@jussiecat3154]

Can someone help me, when I press weld I loose some details why is that happening :)”(

[@jussiecat3154]

Oh I see I’m pressing weld instead of group 😂

[@jasmyn1258]

Is this the free version?

[@aliyahgibson1524]

When I clicked the fill it didn’t fill my image why is that?

[@aliyahgibson1524]

I got it, I didn’t have it selected

[@Kayd2111]

So, if you’ve seen Alice in Wonderland you may recognize the bread-and-butterfly displayed as the Trace tool icon.. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 🍞 🦋

[@yeseniacarter5628]

mine wont fill

[@ErinEnsley]

If it won’t fill that means you have a break in your lines and probably don’t have a clean trace.

[@andreaprybis5809]

how do you change the image to black and white?

[@ErinEnsley]

You can do it right in the program now: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bISwaHR9Z9CMZ7M

[@Jr-nd9kd]

Urg sillohette is so complicated cricut software does all this and is soooo much easier

[@kingdolo23]

Print out the image next time

[@qualitydip3403]

Why does every one talk to much just do it damn

[@gostyjose6823]

Nice one, i was worried on how to make these red marks disapear.
