4/2/2023 0 Comments Trace image silhouette studio![]() Sounds like a lot, but this makes it easy as we continue. You’ll now have four files for each princess: the original PDF, the edited/separated PSE, the JPG colored version, and the JPG black-filled version. Now save this one again as a JPG “black filled” name and don’t save your changes to the PSE version. Use your paintbucket tool to fill voids on the tabs with black, as well. Next, in your PSE document, fill each layer with black (Edit>Fill Layer. Then save it again as a JPG document.Įdit: Try saving this and the black-filled JPGs at a resolution of 9 to avoid them opening huge in Silhouette Studio. Rearrange the parts to fit closely, then crop the extra background away (keep in mind you’ll need three corners available for registration marks later). You can clean things up now with the eraser tool so they’re not getting traced later, if you wish. When you have completed the outline and have the “marching ants” then right click and select “layer via cut.” Select your bottom layer again, then repeat selecting with the lasso tool and cutting the layers apart until each piece is on its own layer. Use the lasso tool to select a body part. Also, it makes prepping the design for Studio’s trace feature much simpler.Īs I said, open the princess PDF in Photoshop. The file even puts them on a transparent background (Photoshoppers know what I’m talking about) so this is really easy to do. (Snow White and Rapunzel are spread across two PDF pages.) I found Elements to be especially helpful to prepare these princesses for cutting with the Silhouette because it let me separate the pieces (arms, torso, skirt, etc.) and rearrange them to fit on a single page where they would be away from the registration marks. Second, (here is where I go to Photoshop Elements) open the first page of the princess PDF in Elements. (Note: If you don’t have a Silhouette machine, just cut out the PDFs from Disney with scissors and skip the rest of the tutorial.) If you don’t do the Silhouette, they can always be cut by hand…but who wants to do that? Update: They’ve added Pocahontas to the link above, and you can get Merida from Brave here. They are Snow White, Cinderella, Ariel, Aurora, Belle, Jasmine, Tiana, Mulan, and Rapunzel (9 in all). You might need to use their search engine to find all the right ones. ![]() ![]() ( I don’t actually know how to convert a PDF file to a JPG or PNG to import into Silhouette for the print and cut other than in Photoshop, so if you know of a way, please let me know in the comments!)įirst, download the princesses from Disney’s site HERE. Hard to believe, I know, but it does make this project simpler. I use Photoshop Elements a lot because I love it almost as much as the Silhouette. I found these Disney paper dolls from a photo on Silhouette’s flickr site, the CREATIVE place, and they have been keeping me busy and working my Silhouette skills! This tutorial will mostly address the Trace feature and Print and Cut in Silhouette Studio, with some prep work in Photoshop Elements. Please go there first for updated and easy instructions. Update : The instructions below still work, but I’ve made simplified video tutorials on my new blog post Disney Princess Paper Dolls.
