Right now when engraving a picture with high contrast it will treat each black section in a line as a separate image.
Here's the test image:

Here's what Rayforge makes of it during engraving:

Sorry that I didn't make a GIF, recording software is not helping. Anyway the laser will engrave each individual stripe back and forth and then continue to the next stripe.
It results in a proper engraving but it takes very long this way. The real duration is over 4x as long as the expected duration in a picture of a dog I made a while ago.
Describe the solution you'd like
This results in a LOT of acceleration & deceleration moves. It would be better if it travels all the way from the left of the image to the right of the image and toggles the laser in between.
I suppose that this does increase sharpness of the image as the laser won't be active in the white regions. It is a tradeoff between engraving quality and duration.
It would be great if this could be a toggle, as in, scan the whole image or scan region by region.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I suppose it's possible to play with contrast settings.
