Supported artwork
Artwork can be imported into the software in both vector and bitmap formats. Generally speaking, vector images preserve the picture quality when resized, whereas bitmap images cause problems of pixilation and image degradation when enlarged or scaled down. However, any scaling required should be done before importing into the software as the importing operation automatically transforms vector images into bitmaps.
