Model > Spot Filter

Use the options on this submenu to remove any isolated pixels within a scanned bitmap image. The selected spot filter is applied to the artwork on all bitmap layers in a model.

A spot filter works better with black and white or greyscale images. It can be necessary to apply a spot filter several times on the same image to remove all unwanted pixels.

To use a spot filter:

  1. Select Model > Spot Filter to display a submenu of options.
  2. Select the spot filter option that you want to apply to the artwork on all bitmap layers:
    • Photo Image — This option is the maximum filter that is most likely to remove unwanted spots in the artwork.
      The Photo Image filter can remove areas of the artwork that you want to keep.
    • General — This option is the medium filter.
    • Line Drawing — This option is the minimum filter, which removes only a few spots in the artwork. You might need to apply this filter several times before all unwanted spots are removed.
