Could anyone give me some help on selecting a good digitizing program?
I'm not an artist and have had no luck so far. Is the "Corel" program a
good AUTO?digitizer???
I know they were always good for picture editing.
Please help.

To be honest, myself and a few others in my familt paid the $300-400
for their picture software and it was the most horrible piece of
unfriendly software any of us had ever seen. I threw three copies of
it out last year in order to clean up the house for moving and again,
became annoyed on the over $1000 wasted on such crap. And they wonder
why people pirate. It sometimes matches the promoters dishonesty, to
say the least. For $30-$40, I wouldn't expect much or care.
Now, past performance is no indicator of future expectations but if
the same software people are there you can expect, unfriendly,
muddleheaded layouts, styles and techniques. They belong in the
Wordperfect lstyle looney bin.
Just my opinion. I have seen Corel demonstated at shows and it lacked
some basic things and yet, when I raised the issues they reported
"That isn't needed, ours is better" and other stupid ideas of that
flavour. Can't remember what issues now...sorry. Also, this was early
days also for them.
Get a good demonstration of it and take somebody with digitizing
experience before you spend big bucks. Better yet, see if somebody
has a "loaner" copy or a pirated copy you can try out. Pay for a
proper copy if you like it after a month. Trouble iwth complex
software, you will not know the fine details (where the difference is)
for a long time of usage, so 30 day guarantees are useless also.

Hi,
Please do disregard the crap Gymmy Bob//Bengi has attributed to your question.
Be very sure GB has no actual possession of _any_ knowledge on this topic.
He C&Ps all his stuff from posts made by other people or from web pages.
The links have some of his 'work' throughout Usenet over recent years.

good idea
before you decide to post something as a "How Do I", the traffic there will
answer many of
your questions by simply reading advice.
Take this with you. Graphics and Embroidery Digitising are two very separate
disciplines.
Digitising does rely very heavily on crisp clear Graphics, hence some software
producers
attempt to marry the two. Corel being just one. Others attempt to "fix" Graphics.
I believe you will find that to succeed one does need to be proficient in
both..as
separate skills.

Using all the computers, with all the browsers and all the
newsproviders tonight, are we Tazhole?
Why are you coming out of the school closet and being recognized, like
a real man, for once, Mr. Potshot? Most figure you are being chased by
the law somewhere. You certainly act like an OCD, ADHD criminal type.
Do the guys in the white coats know what you do in that room?

Have you tried the Embird program? I have 2 embroidery machines, a Pfaff &
a new Babylock, and have used Embird w/success for what I've wanted to do.
There is a 30-day free trial and it is very economical, IMHO.
