Editing images in graphics applications
Sometimes you need to edit images directly in a
third-party graphics package. You would normally
do this in order to eliminate backgrounds, flood-fill
solid areas with color, or add outlines, close gaps,
or reinforce outlines. From within JANOME
Embroidery Software you can open images directly
in Paint, Photopaint, or Paint Shop Pro. Images
updated in this way are automatically re-imported
into JANOME Embroidery Software.
There are many graphics packages which can help
you improve your scanned images. At one end of
the spectrum there is the simple Paint program.
This comes free with Windows but can handle few
formats or color conversions. At the other end,
there are professional tools such as Photopaint.
Such programs can do almost anything but may be
too expensive for occasional use. A compromise is
Paint Shop Pro which has many of the features of
the high-end tools but at a much lower cost.
