The Monochrome Threshold page of the ExpressDesign Wizard appears if you are creating an Express Trace or Express Border design.
The Monochrome Threshold turns all shades or colors in the picture into either black or white. It acts on the whole picture. The Monochrome Threshold creates defined areas that are suitable for creating the final designs.
Interior details, within enclosed shapes in the picture, will not be preserved when creating Express Border.
Move the Monochrome Threshold slider bar to the desired setting, or enter a value directly in the box, then click Next.
Adjust the Monochrome Threshold between 0 and 255 by typing in a number, clicking on the left or right of the slider bar or by clicking and dragging the slider bar. To make more of the image black, move the slider to the right or type a higher number in the box. To make more of the image white, move the slider to the left or type a lower number in the box.
The thumbnail on the left shows the original picture. This allows you to see which colors in the picture have been turned black or white.
