Create Texture

Use the Create Texture to prepare an image for laser engraving.

To use Create Texture, go to Image > Create Texture.

The Texture dialog has two display panels with the image. The original image is on the left and the preview of the filters is on the right. The filters are listed in the center between the two images. To turn filters on or off, right-click them with your mouse. To edit a filter, click one and use the panel in the bottom-left corner to configure the filter. Use the table below for instructions.

Set Peaks and Valleys opens FluidMask for image adjustments.

Histogram

Use this filter to configure pixel brightness across the bitmap.

  • Increase black to make the darkest portions black.
  • Adjust the gamma to modify the intensity of the bitmap.
  • Increase white to make the lightest portions white.
  • Use the end limits to adjust the white and black values (effective for removing speckles).
Edge

Use this filter to enhance the edges (transitions between light and dark pixels).

  • Emboss: Select the direction and the depth of the effect.
  • Gaussian Blur: Select the amount of blur.
  • Sharpen: Enter a value or use the slider to control the effect.
  • Unsharp Mask: Enter a value or use the slider to adjust the amount, radius, and threshold of the effect.
Curves

Utilizzare questo filtro per regolare la gamma tonale (ombre, mezzitoni, luci) della bitmap.

  • La linea diagonale mostra la distribuzione originale delle intensità nella gamma tonale della bitmap.
  • L’asse orizzontale rappresenta la gamma dei valori di intensità.
  • L’asse verticale rappresenta i valori di intensità correnti.
  • Attiva/disattiva modalità gradiente alterna la visualizzazione dei valori di intensità (da ombre a luci con valori crescenti da 0 a 255 o da luci a ombre con valori crescenti da 0% a 100%).
  • Impostare manualmente i valori di intensità oppure fare clic all’interno del grafico.
  • Utilizzare l’elenco a discesa per selezionare il canale.
Choke Use this filter to spread (overlap) or choke (shrink) the border of a bitmap for color separation.
Inverti Use this filter to invert the colors in the bitmap (or on a grayscale image, to invert white and black).
