Galaincha for Tufted Rugs

SIZE AND RESOLUTION

• Always set the resolution first while working on design in Galaincha. For tufted rugs, it is recommended to set the same resolution value for width and height.
• As for the standard resolution, 10/10 knots per inch is appropriate but for the higher quality, resolution can be set not exceeding 20/20 knots per inch.
• Go to Image->Resize and set the proper size and resolution.

                                     

• Depending upon on the tufting density, the typical values are as follows:
  Low density: 6 knots/lines per inch
  Medium: 8 knots/lines per inch
  High: 10 knots/lines per inch
• For Tufted designs, size of carpet is more significant than the resolution.

VISUALIZATION AND TEXTURE

• For assigning tufted texture on the CarpeTools->Visualization window, select the Custom texture and assign Tufted texture.

         or         

• If additional tufted texture is needed, you need to send us a good-quality, upright photograph of a plain rug woven in your desired textures, with a visible carpet area of at least 2 ft. x 2 ft. Please follow the tutorial link given below that suggest what to follow for requesting custom texture:
