Hi Mike,

Oh I see, it's isolation etching. Thanks.

I just tried experimenting with photoshop and able to produce it Isolation etching in
about 30 seconds from the original eagle board image.
what I did is select all the non copper area (black color) and contract the selection
into 8 pixels. by doing Select->Modify->Contract and the flooding the selection with
white. It looks ok though...

I'm sure somebody has tried this before, and they may have a better idea.

Isolation etching? Dunno. Some of the guys reported doing so with Proteus.
Do let me know if you find out how to do this in Eagle.
