Okay! I'm starting up a thing now where I talk about what the hell is bugging me today! Kinda vent-y, kinda just me needing to complain into the void. So yeah, whatever. Maybe I'll do one of these weekly, maybe I'll do them as a problem comes to me. Who knows!

Anyways, today's problem: Art Programs.

I'm trying to make a nice gift for my friend using the laser cutter/engraver that I have access to to make some sort of like... wood block talisman thingy? Yeah. So the plan is to make it with their favorite character in mind and I'm gonna cut a little whole in the top to loop one of those hard plastic or embroidery braids through so they can tie it on something. Very cool, very chic.

But no art program I have access to has the ability to snap images to the canvas!!! What the hell! I'm trying to center these stupid images in the middle and sides, but I can't! I have programs on my desktop that allows me to do it, but I'm using my small little HP laptop since I'm out and about. Then to add insult to injury? The gold embroidery thread I was going to braid in is too small for the thread holder we have here! I can't stop losing!!

I know that the programs have the ability to snap to a ruler, but that only applies to the brushes so I'm just S.O.L. Sad!!

I'll just have to do the file at home and bring it in next week...
