I am having a devil of a time making a crv from an image. I can do the process, thats easy. My trouble is the image is so complex that when I convert it to a crv file the vector has so many issues I cant figure out how to make use of it. Anyone have an idea how to make this easy?

@SeanH It would help is you post the image, if you can. If not, describe the process you are using in VCarve. The trace feature is not great. There are other options.

Here it is.

@SeanH As you can see, the link does not work. png is an acceptable file type so that is not the issue. To upload the file click on the “uparrow” icon and insert. Let me know if this is what you have done and we’ll go to plan B.
@SeanH In short, IMHO, there is no “making this easy”.
What do you plan to do with it? For example, are you carving then epoxy filling, carving then painting, etc?
edit. part of the difficulty will be that the image is very low resolution. Do you have a better version?
edit again. Here’s one for you to look at. Not great.

As Grant sais, there’s not making this easy, but when I have an image like this and I need it to be thát image, I have to make it a bit more vectric friendly. I can do that by giving the software as much clarity as possible. High contrast is the answer to at least get something out of a complex picture like this. So, with some toying around with a photoshop like software, you can slide your picture down to a traceable one.
It’s trying to ballance between what you want and what you will lose out on. Choises have to be made between doing hard work and hand trace or easy going but losing detail.
Does this render of your picture give better results?
You sir, are my new hero. You said the magic words. You told me how to do this, the contrasting thing is great. Thank you, for that and rendering the image.
