Cropping and resizing can also be done once the image is placed on the worktable.
This dialog lets you crop the image very precisely before placing it on the worktable. Select the file you want to import, then click Open. If you would like to filter which file formats display, click the down arrow in the box to the right of the File name box and select the file format you would like. By default, the filter for is set to display all image files. Browse to find the file you wish to import. The Import Image for Tracing dialog box will display. Then, choose Import Image in the Tracing Image Tools palette. In the ribbon below, click on the Tracing Image button. When you are ready to import an image for tracing, go to the Draw tab of the Block Worktable. You’ll find it most useful for creating appliqué blocks with PolyDraw. Import for Tracing can be used in conjunction with EasyDraw™, PolyDraw or EasyDraw+Polydraw blocks. If you want to trace a tall and narrow flower vase, but put it in the center of a square block, then make sure the image of the vase is square before you import it. In other words, if you plan to draw a border block, and you want to import a long narrow grapevine image, then you’ll want to make your drawing board long and narrow and import an image that is also long and narrow. Since EQ8 requires the image fit to the Block worktable, you should think about the overall shape of the image you plan to import and the shape of the block you plan to draw. EQ8 can import and display the image, but it cannot resize it.
You must use your scanning software or other imaging software to resize your images.
Try reducing the image’s width or height to 600 pixels or less and then import the image. This will keep EQ8 running efficiently without requiring extra processing time to redraw the image. We strongly recommend that you reduce the size of the image before you import it. EQ8 will also manipulate the image by fading it for easier tracing, so it is not necessary to import a high resolution image. Since the image file you import is to be used as a guide for your block drawing, it is not important for fine details to display. You can import any of the following file formats: BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG and TIFF. EQ8 will import an image, fit it to your block size, place it in the background of the Block worktable, and let you turn the image on and off as you trace it.
