Use Convert to Pictures to convert any embroidery file to one of the following picture file formats:
-
Windows or OS2 Bitmap (.bmp)
-
JPEG-JFIF Compliant (.jpg, .jif, .jpeg)
-
Portable Network Graphics (.png)
-
Tagged Image File Format uncompressed (.tiff, .tif).
The currently selected files will be converted. The resulting picture size depends on the selected Size.
The pictures use the background color and texture selected in mySewnet™ Configure.
Select the desired Output Folder and Output File Format and click OK. The selected files will be converted and saved in the selected folder. If any pictures already exist with the same name, a message will appear.
Choose Yes to overwrite only the named file. Select ’Do not ask me again’ to overwrite that file and all subsequent duplicated file names. Choose Cancel to not overwrite the file and stop converting any further files.
Select the folder where the pictures should be saved. This is initially set to Documents\mySewnet\My Pictures. The last setting is remembered.
Select the desired format for saving the converted files. This is initially set to JPEG-JFIF Compliant (.jpg).
Click the down arrow and the list of options appears. Select the desired one by clicking on it. Choose from the following file formats: Windows or OS2 Bitmap (.bmp), JPEG-JFIF Compliant (.jpg, .jif, .jpeg), Portable Network Graphics (.png) or Tagged Image File Format uncompressed (.tiff, .tif).
Set the required balance of file compression and picture quality. Click and drag the slider to the required position. Best Compression gives the smallest files with the lowest picture quality. Best Quality gives the highest picture quality but the files will be larger.
