Choosing an Image Processing Preset

Image presets control how Rasterizer prepares the source image and constructs, cleans, or transforms its vector regions. Choose according to the artwork and the type of geometry you want to edit or engrave.

Cartoon

Best for logos, illustrations, and artwork with deliberate flat colors. It favors clear regions and readable boundaries.

Color Photo

Designed for continuous-tone photographs that must be reduced to a limited set of Rasterizer swatches while retaining recognizable visual structure. Results depend strongly on which Rasterizer swatches are enabled and the processing pixel dimensions selected for the job.

Black and White Photo

Reduces the image to dark and light marks using a dithered photographic treatment. It is useful for producing tonal detail with a single engraved color, creating a two-color result reminiscent of a black-and-white photograph.

Abstract styles

Abstract presets deliberately reorganize or transform the source artwork into stylized vector geometry. They are creative effects, not faithful photo conversions, and each exposes controls specific to its structure.
