Photo Carve in Carbide Create

[SeansWorkshop (Sean Busby)]

Question. Is there a way to do a photo vcarve using Carbide Create. I run a mac and don’t have the other softwares. Is a way to convert the photo in like inkscape so that I can then do the tool paths in carbide create?

Thank you

Not in Carbide Create per se. It is possible to convert a greyscale or colour image into a halftone and then import that, but such files are complex and can take a while to process.

We do have:

Halftone generator on Cutrocket

This was announced/demoed in a limited way a while back — had occasion to reference it in a support ticket recently, so here’s the text from that: We have a halftone generator which will accept black and white images, so you will need to convert any image into a black and white picture. That is the only type of picture the generator will accept. Help file: https://cutrocket.com/halftonehelp.php

@WillAdams thanks I will check that out.
