| I've yet to be impressed by a shadow portrait that's been designed using Coyote Stencil Shop. It seems to produce a mediocre pattern for a minimum amount of effort. If your goal is to produce a workmanlike pattern quickly, you'll probably be happy enough with it. However, if you wish to portray the essence of your subject, you will be better off purchasing suitable graphics software (or acquiring some of the excellent Open Source software) and accepting that you will have to learn how to design shadow portraits properly. There is no software which will enable you to produce good shadow portrait patterns simply by clicking a few computer buttons. That's why the scrolling community has so much respect for pattern designers who have mastered their craft. Gill
