3. Click Update Preview to show the cut lines and the number of points/nodes in your cut file

(if you check Show Nodes). These nodes are the points on your image to which the knife will travel

to cut the label. Don’t worry if your cut line isn’t exactly in the right position or size. We’ll adjust

that later. At this point you are just looking for smooth lines that represent the correct shape.

4. Note the difference in the preview when you increase and decrease the contrast.

Contrast to High:

If contrast is too high you will lose the

shape detection and end up with a rectangle cut.
