Video Transcript

"The way I set this up is I have the image in my computer. I bring it into Photoshop. Then from Photoshop using a series of different things that I set up as a macro, that is, a macro is something that does two or three things in sequences to do this. So I use fine edges and I use gray scale and increase contrast and several other things. Sometimes I have two macros depending on the contrast ratio and one works better than the other. But this one worked out extremely well. Some of them don't work out at all and you just have to print a placket white version of this in order to be able to trace. So I'm going to start tracing at this point."
