Digitizing with Bitmaps

EmbroideryStudio supports the automatic and semi-automatic digitizing of both bitmap images and vector graphics. The quality of the resulting designs greatly depends on the type and quality of the original artwork. Generally speaking, vector graphics preserve the picture quality when resized, whereas bitmap images cause problems of pixelation and image degradation when enlarged or scaled down. You can insert or paste third-party vector graphics such as clipart for use in embroidery designs. Alternatively, insert, paste or scan bitmap artwork for use as digitizing templates or ‘backdrops’. In order to make bitmap images more suitable for automatic digitizing, EmbroideryStudio provides image processing capabilities.

Note: CorelDRAW Graphics includes the latest CorelDRAW® Graphics Suite drawing tools. These offer many sophisticated techniques for drafting outlines and shapes on screen. Vector graphics so created can be directly converted to embroidery objects or even entire designs. For a full description of the CorelDRAW® tools, refer to the electronic User Guide available via the MS Windows® Start > Programs group. Alternatively, use the online help available from the Help menu.
