PhotoStitch Embroidery Options

PSW_Design_Preview_page02616.jpg 

The PhotoStitch Embroidery Options page allows you to view and check the final design in 3D before closing the PhotoStitch Wizard. Optionally, choose whether or not to enhance detail in the picture.

After creating a PhotoStitch embroidery, use the Frame tab to complete your project. Add lettering too, if you wish.

Stitch Options

Select Enhance Detail to bring out the detail in the picture or Density to change the number of stitches.

Enhance Detail

Enhance Detail makes details in the picture more prominent. For example, it can be used to improve definition in a photo with good detail, but little contrast.

Enhance Detail does not change the colors used, it affects the way that those colors are used.

Density

Select the density of the stitching. 1 is the standard default density, 9 is the most open.

Zoom

Use the Zoom functions to change the view of the picture or embroidery.

Use Zoom In

. Then either click a point you want to zoom in towards, or click and drag a rectangle around the area you want to zoom in to and release the mouse button to zoom. When zoomed in, use the scroll bars to move around.

Use Zoom Out

Click Real Size
