Step by Step Instruction

1. Insert an image to be converted to a bitmapped image.

 Bitmapped images are made up of one bit of color (black or white) per pixel and require the least amount of memory. Because few editing options are available in Bitmap mode, it is usually best to convert the image to Grayscale mode and then back to Bitmap mode if necessary for exporting.

2. Select the image and choose [Image > Image Effect...] from the Insert menu.

3. Check Black and white (1-bit) in the Effects tab.

4. Press OK to save the image. The image below is the sample result.

Even though the image is converted to black and white, there are too much black colored part making the image unclear. In this case, adjust brightness and contrast to specify the color in detail.

3. The image above has 0 value for both brightness and contrast. At this time, set Brightness as 0 and set Contrast as 60 in the Brightness/Contrast tab. This change decreases black colored part by making the contrast of brightness more clear. The result is the image below.
