====== Tips: Importing artwork ======

It is possible to use Lasershow Converter FLASH along with Adobe Flash to perform outline traces of Bitmaps. In this way, you can use the combination of these two programs to form a raster-to-vector converter.

===== Tracing a bitmap with Adobe Flash =====

1. Select the **File/Import** menu in Adobe Flash.

3. Click the right mouse button on the bitmap and select **Scale**. Then use the "handles" on the image to stretch it to the desired size.
