 to recognize the color,choose Color.

Setting of anti-aliasing
[Standard]: adds anti-aliasing in the resampling process by changing the scale.
The DPI of the output result, it is recommended to perform the process is shortened to less than 90% of the
original image.
[None]: it does not perform anti-aliasing.
[Morphological]: and smoothing by analyzing the image of the edge. There is no need to reduce the image size.
[Brightness]: the thickness of the line will change. The lower the value, the line will be thick.
[Contrast]: Adjust the application degree of anti-aliasing. The higher the pixel is clearly made in large
numbers, the smaller the value, it will be took pixel of Henri alias.
The amount of anti-aliasing can be checked by enabling the [Processing / Opacity Check].
※ usually set to the same value as the Brightness. When set to less than Brightness of the value of all of the
line will be a semi-transparent pixels.
※ If you set the None or Morphological anti-aliasing, Contrast parameter does not work. [Sharpness]: to define
the sharp degree of line. The higher the value will generate a hard line in Sharp. With a low value, it will be
more smooth lines.
[Despeckling]: Remove the small spots from the image. Value is what you view the size of the maximum area to be
removed, in pixels.
You can see the spots to be removed to enable the Opacity Check.
[MLAA Intensity]: Sets the blur strength in Morphological anti-aliasing. Numeric value will be about blurry line
is large.
