Tons of options.
There is Coyote, which was designed specifically for wood workers, there is GIMP, Inkscape...which will trace your image with multiple scans., Photoshop, Corel.
I use Serif PaintPlus, or PagePlus, There is also DrawPlus which will trace the image.
There is Graphic Workshop from Alchemy Mindworks.
There is Professor Franklin.
The list is almost endless. Just remember that the software is only a tool and the real portrait is made my modifying the image after is is converted. Not every photo wll work and not every stencil makes a good pattern.CAЯL HIRD-RUTTEЯ"proud member of the best scroll sawing forum on the net."Ryobi SC180VS scroll saw EX21

by EnnobeeMy wife fell in love with the shamrock cross pattern in the spring issue of SS&W. So I had to make her one as soon as I found the time. Off course, not being able to leave a good pattern alone, I decided to turn it into a segmentation using some real hard broken pallet wood I 'disposed off' at work....You do not have permission to view this gallery.
