For both manual and automatic digitizing purposes, you may want to crop an image before digitizing. You can do this within BERNINA V9 or using a third-party graphics application. Sometimes, you may want to save backdrops as separate files after scanning or cropping.
Tip For both manual and automatic digitizing purposes, ‘clean’ images, sometimes referred to as ‘cartoons’, work best. Scanners introduce noise, while graphics applications perform ‘dithering’ and ‘anti-aliasing’ to improve print quality. See also Electronic artwork.
