PhotoWorks: How To Do a Simple B/W Rendering?

All,

I want to render a high quality (.jpg) image from SWX but don't want
to use all the tacky colors and backgrounds in PhotoWorks.

I would like to see black and white only on white viewport. Is this
possible with PhotoWorks or just 'save as' from the SWX screen?

thanks

Yes, you just have to set up your scene without any walls and floor. Then
save that scene as your default. (I think it's the last little button down
at the bottom.)

OK guys,

I got the background OK Jerry but the image still renders in color . .
.. I need black and white only (on white background).

I plan on inserting these jpg's in Word documents and don't want
color.

Can Photoworks do just black and white? I am not making hardcopies
Paul just jpg files for inserting into Word documents.

thanks,

You can just change the materials of your parts to black and white.
Othwise, when printing you can just set your printer to print black and
white only.

 

This is just with black and white and gray materials.

Who's model is this?, Paul? Thanks to whoever.

 

In Options/Materials, uncheck "Apply SolidWorks properties for render". When
I do this all my parts render as grey, since I haven't applied any
PhotoWorks colors to them. If that doesn't work, then you will need to
specify the colors, either in PW or in SW. I've never messed with PW colors.

You can open the image in MS Paint and go to
IMAGE\ATTRIBUTES and click on Black and White to convert it.

In Photoshop: IMAGE\ADJUST\DESATURATE

 

Photoshop: Image/Mode/Grayscale is easier and the filesize will be smaller.
