Make images of people more prominent
When the machine prints data created using METAZAStudio, light and dark are expressed by making colors
close to white darker and colors close to black lighter. This means that dark hair or clothing may be printed
light, making the outline of the person indistinct. (Depending on the data, such hair or clothing may not be
printed at all.) In such cases, cropping the person and applying a border to the image enables you to make
the image of the person stand out better when printed.
