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 EX21Comment

I would recommend picking up psp and getting kerry_nf tutorial. Andy has put together one also for Adobe photo shop. Not sure if you have any experience with these programs.

Reply to Mitre saw material clampsby will8989I did forget to mention he cut a finger on his left hand with the bandsaw. Just took skin off. Lucky again. Told him he was calling 911 next time.

Reply to Forum formatby handibunnyJim, if you scroll down to the bottom of the page, on the left you’ll find some style options that change the font size and color. I’ve been using Defalt vB5 Style, and it seems to be about the best for my iPad, but I’m still experimenting with my iMac.
