How well does it read pixel hobby files to make into patterns?

Well at first you download your picture and then it takes you through some questions about it. Even let you make any adjustment or highlights as needed. Once to tell the size and how many colors you will need it shows you what the pattern will look like. I like to enlarge the print on the pattern so I can see what I need to do. Takes more pages but it helps to break it down that way. Takes a bit to play with the program but I really do like it.

Yes and it reads files in alpha numerically order. You can group and create structure in whatever order you want.

Yes, absolutely. Make sure you know which you select as Source and which as Destination - otherwise you might end up copying in wrong direction. You need something like CarbonCopy software.

I have sved my phots in jpg format only and they came out great. I don't know about any other formats except pdf. Hope this helps. Nick B

As far as I could tell, the only files it would accept were jpgs. I accidentally loaded some tif and png files and they displayed as a blank box with a red X inside it (on the screen) So, I am not positive, but I really doubt it.

Myself don't have an older version of Print Artist, but P.A. does have the capabilities to import files from other similar programs. Hope that helps.

Only if you have a flash box with patterns in it. The control box that comes with it has the patterns in it.

I used a plastic frame I took from a slide, the ones you can open. then made inverse on photoshop and the result was ok. It gains a particular texture, but it gave the images a unique look.

I've bought a bunch of fonts and patterns from the internet and downloaded them to a Brother folder (broken into other folders like alphabets, kids, animals, flowers, etc.) on my laptop. Once I'm done downloading, I always make a back up copy by copying the folder to a flash drive (which I labeled brother with white out). As long as you realize you want to buy something for your specific machine or size (i.e., my Brother SE400 will only make up to 4x4 patterns) you can get anything you want out there. FYI, in case you haven't seen them -- on the Brother site, they have free downloads every month. I've downloaded flowers, appliques, etc. for my machine. I hope this helps. K

you dont do it in the software, you let the PJ do it. tbh, the 2d to 3d conversion in ANY pj is never very good.

Yes, the software has a great trace feature that let's you cut almost any shape or logo imaginal. I constantly import silhouettes that I find online and cut out all kinds of shapes and logos.

I am pretty sure it would work fine, if you flattened the layers and saved it as a Photoshop pdf, print quality.

Limited to scanning 8 1/2 x 11 at a time. I think Can be saved as PDF. Haven't done much with it yet.

What's important to me, is that the sensor is only 5 mp. For what it's worth the max 2D resulting JPG file is 6,016 x 3,384 = 20.4mp.

No this software is just a editing software not a digitizing software. You would need the digitize and stitch software.

Yes, there is a *basic* tutorial with it that include ~17 different projects. it shows you how to write the code, and how to compile/upload to board.

Yes, the file that is created just needs to be saved as an svg file. I have created several files with Adobe Illustrator and then cut them out with the sizzix.
