Replace the color of the back
With the picture import in the Step 3: Jacquard dialog box it is possible to replace the colors of the back with other colors. For this function to be available, the following conditions must be met:
- The picture has a different number of colors per picture row.
Example: You use a picture that consists of three horizontal areas with the number of colors 1 and 2.
The picture consists of the areas white, green/red and blue from bottom to top. - The number of all picture colors is greater than the number of colors in the individual picture rows.
Example: As in your picture different colors are contained in each area, the picture has a total of four colors. - A jacquard with a uniform number of colors in the entire pattern is generated from the picture.
: In the dialog box you must use the option for this purpose. The number of colors for the jacquard is determined from the picture area with the greatest number of colors.
Example:
A 2-color jacquard results for the picture. In the areas with only one picture color, the second color for the back is specified by the M1plus. In your picture, however, a total of three colors are available for the second color.
You can replace the second color at the rear suggested by the M1plus with another color. - The colors interchanges are only present on the back in this area.
