Text logo on layer 1

blewis999

I have tried to use the import-bmp.ulp that takes a bit map and places

it on layer 200 and 201 but my results were poo. I could not get a a

black and white (2 bit) color map from the font/screen capture/

conversion. It seems that Windows adds a lot of grey tones to edges to

get the fonts; even though I only used black and white in the text.

 

Does anyone know a better way to create a logo, or even just text, or

to overcome the grey/non black and white pixel problems.

 

Thanks

  • I use GIMP for this.

     

    It is free and works well but also has a lot of other features.

    Maybe too many if that is all that you are going to do.

    Thank you for the reply; can you recommend any free software that does

    this please? I haven't worked with this type of software.

    Use an image processing software to reduce the image to 1 bit per pixel

    (b/w) before importing.
