Hi, any suggestions on software for changing highly detailed color pictures into usable bmp files for Vcarve?

Thanks

It depends what you want to do with the file in VCarve. Generally, I'll use GIMP (or any other photoshop-like program) to convert the photo to black & White or apply a line filter. Try messing around with the settings on GIMP's newspaper filter, for instance, then vcarving the result.

You can take the more user-friendly Skylum app https://skylum.com/photo-editor-for-beginners Easier than Photoshop or Gimp.
