Preparing non-outlined images
Use Digitize > Image Preparation to reduce the
number of colors and remove image 'noise' in
non-outlined images.
Use the Image Preparation tool to prepare
non-outlined images for automatic digitizing. The
tool automatically reduces color blocks in
images to a single color, removing anti-aliasing and
noise. You can let the software reduce the color
count automatically or specify a precise number.
The latter is useful if you want to match design
colors to an exact number of thread colors.
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
