How to Cut Out a JPG Image in Silhouette Studio
The Silhouette Studio application combines with the Silhouette SD cutter to cut out custom objects on a variety of material, ranging from card to vinyl. You can use Silhouette Studio's template library to cut out silhouettes, but you can also work with your own images. If you have images on your computer that are stored in the popular JPEG format, also known as "JPG," you can use them as a template to draft and cut silhouettes.
