looking at cutters and I have a few questions.
 

I am looking at the silhouette cameo and I have a few questions I hope someone could answer for me.
I read the stickyed thread, or at least most of it...

I have experience with while in the air force painting aircraft. I used the Gerber Edge and large cutters to make stencils and decals.

I assume this machine can handle both sheets and rolls of masking?

It is capable of cutting small stencils without many problems?

Will the included program be able to import jpg and other image files, convert to required format, and cut?

Can software be used to create stencils freehand, or without a starting image?

Can it create outlines, drop shadow, and mirror images of text and images?

Can it be used to modify images, such as stretch, resize, and "morph" shapes? For example, take a star and pull one of the points longer.

Thanks
