Use Artwork > Dim Artwork to dim graphic backdrops to show stitches more clearly when digitizing.

Lock artwork or other objects to prevent them from being moved or modified by accident by clicking the Lock icon or pressing K. For example, locking backdrop images holds them in place as you digitize, transform or reshape the embroidery objects near them. To dim a backdrop, click the Dim Artwork toggle. This can be useful when using artwork as a digitizing backdrop.

Tip: While digitizing, you may want to hide artwork altogether. Use the View toolbar or simply press D to toggle on or off. Remember too to click Unlock All prior to using artwork with automatic digitizing methods.
