New! Caron One Pound, Caron Simply Soft and Herrschners 2-Ply Afghan palettes - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
New! The Herrschner's Worsted Palette - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
New! We've just added the palette for Deborah Norville Everyday Yarn! If you knit and/or crochet, this is for you. This is a beautiful yarn with a nice feel to it, a good alternative in worsted weight acrylic! (Thank you again to BetwixtTheStitch!)
New! The Red Heart Super Saver Palette - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
Welcome to Stitchboard! Feel free to sit and stay awhile. Check out our new Premier features. In addition to the ability to create larger patterns (up to 500 stitches wide), illusion knitting and private labeling (no more worries about editing those pesky and messy PDFs), we've just introduced Filet Crochet, our most popular request! We have many more features planned, too!

I am a primer user and I have tried several times to make a pattern out of a picture and I cant get a picture tire I can see enough to use. Help

Hi.
There are times that the program will not use one or more of the colors you choose if others selected are closer to certain colors in the image.
A simplified example would be if you send it a pattern with only black, white, red, and green, and tell it to use red, green, and blue, it would probably turn the black into blue, white possibly red, green or blue, red would probably be red, and green would probably be green. If you're working with line art like a logo, it's easier to manually select colors to use. Photos are more difficult.
Actually I just ran this example and it turned black into green, white into blue, and did match the other colors. Apparently the green I selected is closer in color and brightness than blue to the black in the image. And apparently the blue I selected is closest to the white in the image.
As far as introducing a non-selected color, I'm about to make a change to the program that might take care of this. It sometimes tends to happen when the original image does not have black and/or white. When it does happen, it usually adds a gray. I'll post again when I make the update relating to this.
