Adjustment of Stitch Density
Density
of stitches is derived from brightness of image. You can adjust stitches
density with Density Curve in More Controls window. Below picture shows
Density Curve default settings and corresponding design in Preview window.
If
you want dense areas to be even denser, decrease value of Very Dense control
(see below picture).
You
can achieve similar effect by decreasing of Dense control value (see below
picture). In fact, use of this control results in smoother Density Curve
than use of Very Dense control. Consequently, the density gradation of
design is smoother.
Use
Very Dense control if you want the densest areas to be completely filled
with stitches. Otherwise, use Dense control.
If
you want light areas to be even lighter, increase value of Very Light
control (see below picture).
You
can achieve similar effect by increasing of Light control value (see below
picture). Use of this control results in smoother Density Curve than use of
Very Light control. Consequently, the density gradation of design is
smoother. Use Very Light control if you want lightest areas to be filled
with uniform light fill. If you want stitch density to gradate smoothly from
lightest to dense, use Light control.
Please
note: if you
increase Light (or Very Light) and decrease Dense (or Very Dense), design
will be more contrast. For less contrast, decrease Light (or Very Light) and
increase Dense (or Very Dense).
