Need Info

I hope this is the correct place to address this - if not, please let me know and I'll move it. I am new to scroll sawing and want to create a pattern from a photo (portrait). I downloaded GIMP and plan on using it to develop a pattern. Is this a good program to use for this purpose? Any words of wisdom as to how to best approach this project? Thanks.

I use a combination of GIMP and Inkscape, both are free. I started out using this tutorial http://www.scrollsawer.com/forum/scr...ials/17247.htm
Once you get onto it you will find alternate steps to refine your patterns. Good luck.
