5. Choose Image Background Color (Black or White).

7. Click "Next" to begin importing the files.

Import Large Bitmap Options:

Pixel Unit:	Specify the proposed units for each pixels physical size. Choose from Micron, Inch, Millimeter, Centimeter, and more.
Pixel Size:	Logical pixel size defined by Pixel Units * Pixel Size
Image Background Color:	Select the image's transparent color, that will be ignored during importing. Choose either Black or White.
Transparency Factor:	Many images incorporate a type of grayscale blending which leads to very few pixels actually being black or white. This setting is a ratio which allows pixels with colors similar to the transparent color to be treated as such. This setting has proved very useful for "inspection tools" which take photos of microscopic devices, and then want these photos converted back for comparison purposes.
Merge Adjacent Pixels:	For Advanced Users Only. This option will combine adjacent pixels to form polygons. This feature is very time consuming and not recommend for use with complex images.
