CadMasterAdam Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 working in CAD files we sometimes pull in 1bit images. we use this to enable image transparancy directly in the CAD program. however i can't get Paint.net to save less then 24bit. anyone know of a way to make this happen?

usedHONDA Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 What you want is achievable increasing the contrast to the maximum (brightness and contrast adjustment).

CadMasterAdam Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 to be clear i want a 1 bit [black(1) an white(0)] monochomatic image. no grey. no nothing. just black and white. it has to be 1 bit for the appication i am using it in. can paint.net save a 1bit file (bmp tiff png)? file format isn't to critical just 1bit. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedHONDA Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Using Brightness/Contrast [] in the Adjustments menu does just that.

Rick Brewster Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 usedHONDA, the image itself is still saved as 24- or 32-bit. Paint.NET does not support saving as a 1-bit image.

CadMasterAdam Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 dang that sucks that there is no 1bit save but its okay i got it to work i used the magic wand to remove all of my white background elements and left only my black lines i want. saved it as a 24bit tiff brought it into my CAD turned on transparancey and voila.. worked like a smoke-n-da-waffle. thanks ya'll for the assistance.
