how to convert photos into patterns

[zebrasleeve]

Steve,
I noticed that at one time you had information on how to create a pattern from a photograph.  Is that still available and if so how can the information?  I am a retired US Marine and also fairly new to this whole thing.  Like most Marines I know we don't do things half way we like to jump in with both feet, so I decided to learn how to make my own Portrait Patterns.  Thanks for you help.
Pete

Steve has a couple of videos out on Youtube depending on the software you have.

For Gimp he used to sell a video but the link is gone.  That maybe due to the new version of GIMP.

For GIMP there is a course for free at Scroll Saw Village.  Note it was done a long time ago so you may have to work with new version of GIMP

Also, if you are not familiar with GIMP there is an course at https://logosbynick.teachable.com/p/gimp-series
I just took the course on Inscape from Nick and I found it very helpful.  This course would be over kill for just doing portraits but great instructor.
