    On the MG+ vectoring, I use a the max freq of 5000 - the edges are nicer.
    Longtai 460 with 100 watt EFR, mostly for fun. More power is good!! And a shop with enough wood working tools to make a lot of sawdust. Ex-owner of Shenhui 460-80 and engraving business with 45 watt Epilog Mini18.

    Rodney,

    Thanks for taking the time to respond.

    Your idea of using a multiline contour with overlaps and then vectoring is interesting. Not sure I understand what that means or how to do that in Corel Draw. I can see the savings in time by not rastering a border around the outside edge as Randy suggested, I think I would like that look though.

    I will try to post a file. Perhaps you have a sample image/file or you can show me what you mean in Corel Draw.

    Thanks

    Rodne,

    Excuse my spelling of your name . Thanks for the quick help with doing attachments. The file I spoke of earlier is encluded. Will appreciate any tips. I have only played with the contor tool so far. Not very clear on how to use it sometimes.
