CarveWright Designer Software Manual
Chapter 12: Advanced Patterns
This section will illustrate the advanced tools and mechanisms for working with images, patterns, pattern
collections, projects and activations.
Images
The CarveWright Designer Software has the ability to import images in to the software so that they can be used
as patterns on the board. The image les are converted to gray-scale where a heightmap is determined for each
pixel. The darker a pixel, the less it is carved. The lighter the pixel, the more it is carved. This can be changed
by inverting the image. Here is a list of the image le types that can be imported into the software:
Bitmap (*.BMP)
Joint Photographic Experts Group (*.JPG, *.JPEG)
Portable Network Graphics (*.PNG)
Multiple-image Network Graphics (*.MNG)
Graphical Interchange Format (*.GIF)
XPixMap (*.XPM)
A Tale of Two Images
The CarveWright Designer Software can import images in to the software. These les
are raster images that can not be enlarged without pixelization or loss of image quality. As
a pattern is zoomed in upon, The pixel that make up the image will become more apparent.
Vector images are not capable of being imported into the software but can be created in
the software by using the vector drawing tools (see Drawing Tools on page 54 for more
information). Vector drawings can be zoomed in to the maximum view with no loss of
quality.
