Comparing Auto Digitizing to Manual Digitizing (Pros & Cons Explained)

[@cablekingtv6557]

Each design is different and Auto Digitizing can be useful to get you started. Sometimes it comes out perfect. I generally auto digitize first and tear apart what isn’t right, and manually digitize those areas. Using both methods is the best, especially if you have a tricky or large design.

[@ricomatv]

Hi there, thanks so much for watching. Auto-digitizing is great for those just starting out for sure!

Is this software is easy from wilcom E.2 for comparison of trims? because we need to do it manually in wilcom and I saw you that you're doing it by just doing some one or two clicks. Please explain it.

I never thought the designs would look so different. It's great to have the auto-digitizing feature but now i know it's limitations. Thanks!

Happy to help!

Goodnight friend. I made a purchase of an embroidery machine with you, but the chroma inspire does not have all the tools that you explain. what should I do.?

Hi there. Did you purchase your machine outside of the US?

Our Chroma software comes in three different tiers: Inspire, Plus, and Luxe. Chroma Luxe, the tier being used in this video, is the highest tier and includes a variety of additional digitizing tools, file functions, and fonts. This tier is a great option if you anticipate receiving a lot of specialized embroidery requests.

[@VanityFerret]

Manual digitizing is obviously the way to go, but learning Chroma Luxe is a huge undertaking. This video was fairly helpful, but leaves me looking for more info on how to actually do manual digitizing.

Can you just import paths straight from Adobe Illustrator?

[@ricomatv]

Hi! Unfortunately, this won't be possible.

[@kristinwelch7148]

Any suggestions for a good digitizer company to use… we’re new to it and still subbing out our digitizing… I just feel like the one we’ve been using there’s been some good work but some of it just isn’t quite right and I feel could be better and have cleaner nicer lines…. It’s just been hit or miss with them

No matter how many times we click the wand and specific spot on the design, we never get the same result as you. It always makes a box over the whole design instead of the actual piece. Like yours highlights the helmet and changes it. Ours doesn't highlight until after the fact and just makes a box the length of the design. Is there a step, we're missing?

[@ricomatv]

Hi Angel! Are you following the steps that are shown here? ----->ricoma.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/9965183597331-Magic-Wand-In-Chroma

[@angelt1210]

@@ricomatv Yeah, backdrop image (png) then the complex fill, then the wand is selectable, select the wand and go to click on the design and here's where ours always differs from yours.. Yours you're able to click on the spot and then right click off the design. As soon as we click on the design it spins (like loading and kinda takes a minute) then it gives us an entire box. So, you're able to right click off the the design and we're not. It highlights a box around the entire design instead of just the spot we click on, no matter which part of the design we click on. We're in luxe as well, we have checked for updates, consistently. But, just doesn't do what yours does. We've uninstalled and re-installed and still don't get the same option or outcome as you.

[@angelt1210]

​@ricomatv so... we just figured it out. It will not work with a png, only a jpg or jpeg.

Is not possible to have the font of the RICOMA text the same as in the original design?

[@ricomatv]

With Auto Digitizing?

[@IoanDura]

@@ricomatv either way

[@elevated-apparel]

You would have to digitize it manually cause auto digitized letters never really come out right. It's always best to manually digitize lettering just I'm case you get the client that has a custom font. Some have close fonts to what the client sends but most all customers want the font they sent in with the design. Here he manually digitized and auto digitized.

[@johnsposato9088]

Very New to Chroma but have experience with other types of Software. I found this a little difficult to follow trying to see what icons your choosing since you pointer is so small and moves too fast. I find myself replaying over and over trying to pick out details. But that's just me. Overall the content is good.

Thank you for the feedback, we truly appreciate it! We will be sure to pass this over to the team. In the meantime, have you checked out Chroma's KZbin channel?

[@arturomunoz8894]

Can you pre-set the auto-digitizing? in that way you won't have different kind of stitching to edit, can it be more accurate?

[@ricomatv]

Hi there, thanks so much for watching! Depending on the tier of Chroma that you have, you can select only certain parts of your design to be auto-digitized. Hope this helps!

@@ricomatv Hi well I have Chroma Luxe, can you show me how to assign what part of the design I want to be fill stitch and how I can assign what to be satin, that will help a lot or if you can make a short video about this very well explained please. Thanks

How do you change the line width on Chroma Inspire?

Hi Jenny, You can do this by increasing the stitch density!

[@rosemaryegbuzie950]

Watching the auto and manual digitizing, I think there should be a way to combine both to save time and achieve a better result.

[@ricomatv]

Yeah some people do auto first and then edit manually based on top of that

[@SirDadbod]

I got a mt1501.. With chroma plus.. I have no idea what the basics are so none of these videos help me.. Even the basic webinars are not helping because I need the basics.. For example.. I import a picture... I put a few squares and dots to digitize but then I make a mistake on a dot.. I can't delete that dot without deleting all dots.. I have no clue how or what... Now I'm stuck until I find a way.. I've seen someone right click and delete dot.. That doesn't work for me and I don't know why... The crazy part is.. I taught myself to build computers but I can't figure out a simple deleting of a dot.. I need resources to start from baby steps so I can learn faster.. Other wise it's gonna take me hours upon hours to learn one thing by myself... These people talk way to fast..these videos are for people that have the basics.. Where is the videos for us new people..
