Convert to TIFF
Many home embroiderers now have Internet web sites where
they share or sell their designs. This tool allows you to make a pic-
ture like the Preview window and save it for use as an image. This
tool can also be useful in turning an existing embroidery design
back into a bitmap for the purpose of re-digitizing the design. Mac
uses a standardized file format called a TIFF file, with the exten-
sion, “.tif” or “.tiff” to contain images. This file is what most digi-
tizers start with as a working background to create an embroidery
design on.The size of the TIFF file can be specified through the
TIFF Size Preference.
Color Sort
One of the most powerful tools in Convert it is Color Sort.
The Color Sort preference controls the amount of distortion
allowed which determines the
degree of color reduction. The preference ranges from 0 to
100 percent, 0 means no distortion allowed and 100 means maxi-
mum distortion allowed.
