Hi Pat,I'm using microsoft digital imagestarter addition 2006 it's got some really good filters that take the picture and turn it right into a pattern you have to work with it a little to get it right,But it's a great program.You can down load it for free from Microsoft online I can't remember the exact site though.hope it helps .

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
