Thank you! I couldn't get cricut to work with my print and cut, and after watching your videos and resizing them, it worked like a charm. You are a lifesaver!
troy, I've watched quite a bit of your videos and picked up quickly with how helpful they are, however i have an image that I'm pretty sure is almost impossible to clean up and make compatible for DS, when i uploaded it, i was told it was too complex for Design space. can you help? Thanks
+Ashton Beck ALSO! my image has text within its self that need to be cleaned, up they appear as almost a scanned image. DS will not allow me to clean up, however i want the letters sliced out of my design anyways. thanks again
I didn't understand what you meant about saving them s print and cut (I know how to this part) but you stated that you switch them to cut images while in design space. Does this mean that you click on "cut" (where the cut, print, eyeball crossed out, etc.) ad change it there? I didn't think you could if it was originally saved as a print & cut. Could you go into a little more detail regarding this. I would really appreciate it. By the way, what I have watched so far ( 2 videos) you do a great job explaining everything. Thank you for your hard work!!! -Lisa
Wow in two years no one has answered this. I'm sure you have this figured out by now, but for others who have the same question: when you save print and cut and load it for the cut there is an option that says "fill or no fill" if you select the "no fill" it becomes a cut only image.
Misleading title.... All you did was download a higher pixel image. You never cleaned up a lower resolution image. Next do as your title says. Thankyou
The title doesn't say "how to clean up low resolution images" -- you can't really do that in Design Space, so the video does what the title says. The point of the video is to teach folks to understand the difference in resolutions and why you may or may not be able to clean up images well, and if not, the reason you may run into issues.
As helpful as this video is re: cleaning images for use in Design Space, I wish you had not chosen to use a copyrighted image of Hello Kitty as your example. People don't understand that searching and finding images of popular characters such as Hello Kitty, Disney images, etc. - are all licensed & copyrighted images and are not to be used by Crafters, especially for projects they might sell or even display online for others showing what images they used in a specific personal or gift project. The artists of these copyrighted images have not granted "free usage" rights to download and use these image. Images that are purchased online at websites authorized to sell such images and people have read and understand the Terms of Use and Copyrights and AGREE to them, those images are able to be used within those TOUs and/or Angel Policies of the artists and/or websites.
Mary Niederlander Use of images in media such as this generally falls under Fair Use in copyright laws. The video is for educational purposes and providing instruction on how to clean up images.
***** I just know that lots of folks that watch your videos have great respect for your knowledge (as do I) - and I feel that you foster the belief that folks can search and find images online and right click - save them to their computer and then use any way they want. There is a strong belief among people that everything they see online is OK to take and use any way they see fit. Especially if they claim they are using it for "personal" use, or making cards or party decorations etc. What they don't understand is that the original artist of the Hello Kitty line for example > had their agents obtain licensing agreements to put those images on real life products such as cards, and party decor etc. When folks do image searches (as you did showing that all folks had to do is search for Hello Kitty and grab an image) they honestly think that all images presented to them in the search results is fair game for them to take offline. You also continued to show them how to discern which are the "better quality and resolution" for them to choose from. And you went further to show them how to upload and use in Design Space. You make think that showing accessing and using Copyrighted & Licensed images is "Fair Use" for educational purposes. But the reality is that you are educating the WRONG way to do things. I have read on different facebook groups and blogs about people complaining about images they have grabbed from online and they are unhappy in using them with the Print then Cut feature of Design Space - and when they show a screen shot, they are usually images that are copyrighted (Disney images are popular to grab from google searches) and the "web resolution" usually is a lower dpi. You have basically shown people how to figure out the best quality and dpi's of ANY image they find online to choose to grab. Why not use an image that you have the rights to use and anyone else also would have the rights to use. All of my images that I have uploaded to Design Space are purchased and I am obeying all terms of use that I agreed to when purchasing or they are Free images found on reputable websites that also have TOUs that I agree to before downloading.
Mary Niederlander I appreciate your concern and it is noted. I do have a couple videos where I specifically address copyrights, trademarks, etc. I have a quite a bit knowledge in that area and some real world experience, as well. I am not purposely encouraging anyone to do anything other than how to use computers and software. However, perhaps I will consider adding a disclaimer to videos in the future to ease this concern and direct them to my videos explaining this issue better. Thank you for your input as I consider it a tool to improve my channel as it grows.
Mary Niederlander he didn’t claim to own the image, and he didn’t use it for a project that he was selling. He just used it as an example. If people don’t realize that they can’t use copyrighted images/images they don’t own the license to, that’s on them, not him. It’s not his responsibility to educate everyone on copyright laws

Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same problem
Thank you!!!. New subscriber
yassssssss so helpful!!!!!
Is this possible in mobile version?
Thanks again Troy good info ;)
Troy, no matter what I do I get double-lined cutting images; is there anything to help with that? Thank you.
On all images? So, if you insert a basic circle and cut it, it cuts a double line?
+TroyTube Sorry, when I upload a png file. for example
Sounds like an issue with the file
Thank you
Thank you!
Hey dude, I know your son Gibson he’s in Miss Chapman’s class in Glade elementary school county West Virginia

Why do cricut distort images instead of leaving them the way that there are
I've never experienced this issue, can you elaborate?
