When Resizing a Design it is Not Dense Enough
The software will recalculate the stitch of an imported
design when re-sizing, but only when using the
DESIGN>CHANGE SIZE option. It does have a
limitation of re-sizing up to 149% and down sizing to
51% and while still being able to re-calculate the stitches
correctly.
Vector Art vs Bitmapped Art
When you choose the image, notice that there are many
different formats. AutoPunch
using vector type images, such as .wmf. The software
must be able to recognize a color (block) of information.
A ". bmp" can be made of millions of colors making it
impractical for use.
Clipart falls into two basic categories, Vector Art and
Bitmapped Art.
The software is capable of vectorizing the ".bmp" image,
but it may lose detail, depending on the image. It is
essential to understand about the type of artwork or image
used with AutoPunch .
®
Vector Art is a clean "graphic" blocks of color – by simple
de nition. Some common formats - .wmf and .emf are
two formats that the Auto Punch software can read.
Bitmapped Art is the type of "format" that is typically saved
when scanning. The computer sees millions of colors to
create the "realistic" type of image. Even a 3-color design
that we see as simple has billions of pixels. Common
formats recognized by the software: .bmp, .jpg, .tif, .pcx,
.pcd, .tga, and .psd.
Tips for AutoPunch ® :
• Scan art with a "high resolution" (200-300 DPI).
• Scan at 3-6 times larger than the intended output.
Lines that are too narrow to properly sew out are
eliminated by the software when it cleans up the artwork.
® gives the best result when
Vector Art / Vector Art (mode vectoriel) / Vector Art
Bitmapped Art / Bitmapped Art (mode point) / Bitmapped Art
