Importing a Picture into the Solder Mask Sublayer

[watsicagaylord]

Salutations, everybody!

I would prefer for my branding to be visible on the copper pour rather than the top silkscreen layer of my printed circuit board (PCB). I've noticed that when I add writing to the solder mask layer, it shows up on the copper pour underneath. My logo, though, is an image and not only words, therefore I'm running into problems with it.

Is there a way to make the copper pour look as I want it to? Would much appreciate any advice! Thank you!

You can import an image on solder mask layer and DipTrace will vectorize it to lines. The image should be contrast enough to get well result of the vectorization.

To have your logo appear on the copper pour instead of the silkscreen, you can add it to the copper layer (typically the Inner or Outer Layer), not the silkscreen or solder mask layers. Ensure the logo is set as a "negative" image so that it doesn't overlap with the copper pour when it's rendered. You may need to adjust the design settings in your PCB design software to properly define the logo's positioning and make sure it doesn't get hidden by the pour.
