a Outline detection
If you wish to cut/draw along the outline of an image,
select this option to convert the outline of the image to
a cutting line. This is useful for saving as data an
illustration drawn for an appliqué.
b Region detection
Select this option to detect the colored portions of an
image as regions and create a cutting line around
each region. Cutouts can be created using thick
hand-drawn lines, such as borderlines of images or
text illustrations. This option allows you to use not
only cut-out patterns but the material from which
portions are cut out, such as lace.
c Line detection
Select this option to detect the center of lines and
convert them to a cutting line. This is useful for
detecting patterns consisting of multiple pieces and
creating cutting lines for each piece.
