Business Edition ($99.99 or $62.99 HERE)

If you already have one Edition you can also upgrade from one level to the next

Basic Edition

Basic Edition is the free version of Silhouette Studio. You can download this version of the software without having a Silhouette machine. While you can do a lot with the Basic Edition, if you are serious about designing SVGs using this software, you'll want to upgrade to at LEAST the Designer edition.

What can you do?

Create and Send Designs to Silhouette Machine
Basic Design and Text Tools
Basic Manipulation Tools - Move, Rotate, Scale, Align, Replicate
Modification Tools - Weld, Divide, Crop, Subtract
Cut by Line or Fill Color
Font Access (to your computer fonts)
Import JPG, BMP, and PNG files
BASIC Trace
Image Effects - Grayscale, Tint, Hue, Ect)
Print & Cut/PixScan
Silhouette Library Storage
Object on Path
Offset
Stipple/Emboss (Curio only)
Pop-up Creator
Color Fonts
Print Bleed

As you can see by the long list above, there are a LOT of great basic features with Silhouette Studio. The only downfall is you cannot save in all of the file formats you would need to monetize your files and would need to utilize a converter service or even Inkscape (more on that in another post)

Designer Edition

Designed Edition is the first level upgrade. You can do all of the things Basic can do with the addition of the following:

Import SVG, PDF, files
Layers - Including Cut by Layer
Rulers/Guides
Nesting
Shadow Tool
Eraser Tools
Knife Set Tools
Eyedropper Tool
Shear
Sketch Effect
Trace - Addition of Trace by Color and Magnet Trace
Rhinestone Conversion
Glyph Support
Font Management
Basic Warp
Advanced Pop-Up Creator
Import Custom Patterns
Lasso Selection
Warp Templates

As you can see there are a lot of benefits to the Basic to Designer Upgrade that will help improve your designing methods. I started out with the Basic to Designer to test out the improved Tracing Functions in the beginning and just having that was worth it.

Designer Edition Plus

The NEXT level up. Here you can find everything included above PLUS

Advanced Rhinestone Features
Import Embroidery Files
FlexiShapes
Puzzle Generator
Advanced Warp (Conical, Perspective)

Business Edition

The final and most intense level. Here you can really work on your files to ensure a smooth cutting experience for your end users. I upgraded for the multiple Undo/Redo Function and the weed line feature. The following is added on to Business Edition.

Import AI/CDR/EPS Files
Weed Line Feature
Multi-Cutter Support
Matrix Copy Feature
Media Layout View
Automatic Nesting
Tiling
Barcode
Multiple Undo/Redo
Export SVG, PDF, JPG
Handwritten Font Creation
Digital Font Creation
Edition Toggle

So as you can see from the above sections, each edition has extra features making Silhouette Studio a VERY powerful designing tool. It does not take much to start designing and learning in Silhouette Studio, and over the next few weeks I will be writing blog posts on specific tools that you can utilize in the software.

Again here are your upgrade choices:

Silhouette Studio Software

Basic Edition (Free)
Designer Edition ($49.99 or$29.99 HERE)
Designer Plus Edition ($74.99 or$43.99 HERE)
Business Edition ($99.99 or$62.99 HERE)

If you already have one Edition you can also upgrade from one level to the next
