Grayscale images;
To me Black and White is not a grayscale that works well in the CW Unit; it is only two numbers of the grayscale; that I like to use, you need all the numbers to give you a 3d look.
“000” = Transparent (Only in PNG & GIF formats)
“0 or 1” = Black
“255” = White
I like to start with line drawings, I use a program called ShaderMap Pro most of the time; after image cleanup the program will give you a good grayscale image in less the 30 seconds; it depends on the size of the image. I use the Bit Map format to do this; it gives me a white background.
I was given an Aspire 4.0 program from a friend that I make patterns for. To me it is taking a lot of time to learn that program (maybe it’s because I am 76 years old now?)
I only use part of the functions in my programs; you can use more gray shades to give you a 3d look.
If you would like help and some samples on how I do that - PM me with an e-mail.
I don’t like to post my e-mail on an open forum, I get enough Junk Mail.
