Preparing a photo for digitizing.

To get the best design, start with the best picture. We recommend doing any editing before uploading. Photo editing on-site is limited to four tools, and you can do quite a bit with those tools. The tools are Crop, Trim, Color Eraser, and Flood Eraser.

Crop is an image-cropping tool. To use it, draw a box around the parts of the photo you want to keep.
Trim is an auto-crop for backgrounds. It will crop off the edges of the background if you have a color or transparent background.
Color Ereaser removes a color from the entire image.
Flood Ereaser removes a color starting at the color selection point and moving out to untell the color changes.

How to upload a photo.

After you create an account and log in.

  1. Select the Add Photo button in Photos
  2. Give your photo a name
  3. Select the Choose File and select your photo with the systems file browser.
  4. Press Save


Allowed types: png jpeg jpg jpe gif. 20 MB limit.

How do I size my design?

Input the height or width of the final design when digitizing.

The proportions are locked, and size includes any border of transparency or background color.

 

Tip: Use the edit photo trim tool to remove any extra border, and the eraser tools can remove some backgrounds.

Note: The system fits the design to the hoop if the actual photo size at 254.5 DPI  [100 PPC] is larger than the hoop sew area. The system does not increase the photo size unless specified.
