    How do you achieve a lithopane view?

    Designer Pro allows you to layer two different woods. Centerline text can be made to look stained darker or colored. You can add other types of wood or solid colors to represent paint. Find the woods1 folder and add 512 x 512 jpg files.

    If you are referring to the lithopane view in Designer 3, on the tool bar menu select the "Woods" pull down arrow and then click on "Lithopane"

    I don't have The Pro version that explains it.

    How do you layer woods in Designer Pro? I don't remember reading about that.

    I'm sure there is another way to turn the screen shot into grey-scale (with some other free program) without the litho view. I'll check it out later when I have more time.

    Click on Board Settings - Stains/Finish. It's in the first screen shot that I posted.

    Most graphics programs (Paint.net, Gimp, etc.) will have an option to convert to shades of gray. They might just call it by something different like "Desaturate" in Gimp or "Black and White" in Paint.net. Both of these are free programs.
