Even in this group. It's a public forum. This "I wasn't talking to

I know it bothers you that people prefer to bury their heads in the
sand rather than control their own destinies...
Give them a little more time. Mebbe the sand up their noses will start
to annoy them a little too much.

True digitising is not about accepting defaults.
Do you want to learn to digitise, or do you want to learn what buttons
to push over a clean graphic and learn nothing of technique??
The program cannot determine layering. This has been shown on many
attempts posted to group.
You have to do the colour sorting yourself. This itself can be a
minefield if the default has sewn travelled across the fabric instead
of using a jump stitch.
The best programs are the ones that allow you to step through each
stage.
The trick is knowing which bits to do first :->
>>/cracks petite knuckles... one by one... >:-)

lucky?
Only if you damage the knuckles in doing it. That's the clincher,
stretch them, don't break them.
There are over 100 types of arthritis... I'm told knees are as high on
the list of sufferers as knuckles.... /grin
Doan know too many that crack their knees... um... you??!!

Again, not true. You are wanting the program to recognise the graphic
and do the work.
The graphic is tragic, granted, considering the poster - the point is
moot!!
>>Sounds like photo realistic work is gonna be a long way off.... /grin
>>
>Abandoned at this desk :-<

And this has nothing to do with the outline. Interestingly enough.
This has to do with texture and technique. Stitch choice comes into
play here. Very hard to recreate feathers, fur and stuff like that.
Colour merging is a nightmare.
For as big a fan as I am of Sue Box, even this time Her animal one
fell short for me.
