I want to print a pattern covering on the surface of the PCB.it looks like this:image

 

I transform it into .bmp format and then import to EAGLE, it said 'bmp file contains more than 256 colors, reduce colors before use.'

 

Anyone can help me out?

    Hi Ms.James,

     

    I hope you're doing well. Open the bmp file in a program like Paint (or

    GIMP, or Photoshop) and save the file as a Monochrome bitmap. This will

    make sure the file only has two colors (Black and white). Now you should

    be able to import it successfully.

     

    Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

     

    Best Regards,
