Question: Can computers erase the colors and leave only an outline of the people in the photo after scanning!?

I'd like to scan a photo and get the outline so that I can trace it for a wood burning project that will be a Christmas present!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Almost any photo editing application can do this!. If you don't have the software or don't want to get into it for this one project, you can also make a photocopy in black and white with the contrast turned way up, and trace the outline from there!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

yo you can download paint!.net which is like a generic version of photoshop!. i dont know if it will do exactly what you want, but you can change the picture to a drawing which would have it outlined like you want!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Definitely!. My preferred application for this is Paint Shop Pro!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
