Preparing outlined images
Use the Outlined Image Preparation tool to
prepare outlined images for automatic digitizing.
The tool automatically sharpens outlines and
reduces noise. Areas enclosed by a black outline
are reduced to a single color. Outline sharpening
makes it easier for the software to recognize
distinct areas in the image. These areas then
become the embroidery objects of the finished
design. Use it particularly if the outlines are blurry,
fuzzy or indistinct.
Try this! Depending on the quality of the scanned
image, you may need to touch it up manually
before processing in JANOME Embroidery
Software. You would normally do this in order to
eliminate backgrounds, flood-fill solid areas with
color, or add borders, close gaps, crop areas or
reinforce borders. See Editing images in graphics
applications for details.
