    Photoshop

    Hi new to the forum.
    At the present moment in time I'm using a silhouette Cameo 3 and silhouette studio. I cant complain it's easy to use and pretty basic for my current needs.
    But I've just looked at Photoshop and it's so complicated yet I know I'll need to get to grips with it at some point if I'm wanting to develop better designs in the future.
    Does anyone know of a book or online information on which to learn the ins and outs of PS. Or would people recommend a different software program altogether?

    Photoshop is RASTER - ie pixel based, - but cutting is VECTOR - ie shapes bounded by lines.

    You can trace a raster image to get your cutting vector, - but a vector program might be easier
    eg
    Corel Draw

    If you're wanting to look up how to do stuff in Photoshop, then pretty much everything you will want to find out will be a youtube video, or a quick google for someone who's written a guide on how to do stuff.

    But, as above, if you're wanting to do graphics for your cutter, than Photoshop is't best suited, but Illustrator will be better

    I use SCAL 5 with my cutter. It's excellent cutting at software at a pocket-money price. It also gas many built-in vector design features.

    Personally, I do stuff in Photoshop then convert to vector using Vector Magic. Any further tweaks can be made in SCAL.
