What if you have a images that has several elements that blend together? I do high relief hand carved pieces of popular animated characters and looking at using a MK2 to do the router outline carving of my drawings that I put together in Illustrator or have been generated through AI engines. Im thinking it just best to manually trace them. I have tried several software trials to se ehow this would work, ie Carbide, Scan2Cad, Designer. Any help would be appreciated
