3. After resizing a design, the density of the stitching is either too tight or not tight enough. The Futura software will recalculate the stitch of an imported design when 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. 4. AutoPunchTM and graphic files - Vector Art vs. Bitmapped Art There are many different types of images or formats of graphic files. AutoPunchTM gives the best results when 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 definition. 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 AutoPunchTM ¡ 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. Vector Art Bitmapped Art 42
