While the Stack Scans function was developed for certain printing applications, paper crafters may find
it useful for some paper piecing projects. For example, using Stacked Scans to trace a simple image of
a basketball will eliminate the need to individually adhere all of the sections of the basketball onto a
black background. Instead, a single black overlay can be cut and laid on top of a single orange piece:
Image traced
Blackout checked: Eight orange
sections would need to be glued onto
the back background.
Stack Scans checked: One black
overlay would need to be glue onto one
orange background.
Grayscale Option
The Grayscale Option introduced with version 4.6 converts imported raster images into the closest of 256
possibly shades of gray, based on the number of colors selected. It is well suited for photos or paintings.
When selecting a photo for the Grayscale application, look for a solid color background and bright lighting
on the subject you wish to trace. Here are examples of a good choice and a poor choice:
Will work well: solid background, Will not work well: busy
good lighting background, object in front of face,
poor lighting
