Hi and thanks for using the program!
There are many possible causes for this but the most common two causes are:
If you can start with a very small image that's in a non-compressed format (like .gif) it will work much better.
You can also try adjusting Color Sensitivity in section 8 to a higher number. This will cause the program to combine some shades into single colors.
You can also try setting section 5c to a certain number of colors and the program will combine shades and closest colors to reduce the final number of colors to whatever you tell it.
One other setting you might try is to select 5b and give it the exact colors you want in your final pattern. It will then try to match these given colors and reduce the number in the pattern.
Of all these, the best solution would be to use a smaller un-compressed image (.gif) with a limited number of colors.
Let me know if this helps.

Welcome!
I'm not a lefty, so I'm not sure how to answer your question. It would most likely depend on how you normally work. Do you usually reverse patterns to work on them, or do you leave them as is? So that's why I would say it would depend on whether your normal patterns tend to be reversed when you work them from charts. If you use those as a guideline, in theory, it should work the same way with any chart.
Melanie,
Sorry that they smell like mold..
But try vinegar... I hope it works..
If I'm able to visit you someday, I will bring you a lot of danish stuff (lot's of rodalon).. :p And yarn - in pretty colors..
Let me see if I can find pink legos.. I'm sure they still make them
Gold and silver ones too..
I'll send them for you if I find them..
Just had the most frustrating discussion with the asshat yesterday.. I have never cried so much over him than I did yesterday.. F****** asshat..
Anyhow.. My oldest (whose birthday is on the 11th this month), wants to have a pirate themed birthday party... He tells me this, 9 days before we are actually going to celebrate him.. :p LOL.. Talk about stress.. Furthermore, he only have three (3!!!!!) whishes.. Gotta be creative.. He want's a new knitted sweater (no chance in hell that is going to happen in such short time), he wants lego ninjagos.. And something I'm not even sure exists.. :p LOL
I was thinking about making some straws with skulls on.. Some flags, and some other small stuff to use as decorations.. My mother is making a treasure map, so they (Marcus, his littlebrother and the best friend in the whole wide world) are going tresure hunting.. I feel like I am waaaaay behind..
I'm thinking about making a treasure chest of some kind og candy in it.. Gotta be carefull though.. The bestie has diabetes (only 6 years old
)..
They will get foam swords, pirate hats, eye patches etc etc etc.
BTW - what's up with the forum? It's soooo slow when loading.. I don't know if it's only happening here..
Hugs..
I am 71 years old and have been crocheting for about 60 years. My nephew found this marvelous resource for me. I am completely self-taught and, I suppose, I am an advanced crocheter.
In my spare time, I teach at Archbishop Hoban High School in Akron, Ohio. I am an English and music teacher, and I have a crochet club where the members crochet scarves and hats for the homeless. The majority of my members are boys on the various varsity sports teams--amazing!
I am very interested in designing my own grid patterns, and would like to know that letter fonts best suit the grid. Currently, I am working on a design of an afghan for my nephew's marching band that includes the school's mascot an Native American chief's head, and I would like to include the initials for the school PHS, and the words MARCHING BAND. Any help with the font would be much appreciated.
Finally, I have masted the art of crochet cabling: so if anyone needs that kind of assistance, let me know.

Hi and thanks for using the program!
There are many possible causes for this but the most common two causes are:
- When using a large image and having the program shrink it down substantially, you can get a lot of additional shades and colors.
- When using a compressed image like a .jpg file, the program will see all the compression pixels and try to use some of these shades and colors in the final pattern.
If you can start with a very small image that's in a non-compressed format (like .gif) it will work much better.
You can also try adjusting Color Sensitivity in section 8 to a higher number. This will cause the program to combine some shades into single colors.
You can also try setting section 5c to a certain number of colors and the program will combine shades and closest colors to reduce the final number of colors to whatever you tell it.

Flo,
Wow, thank you so much for
your kind words! 
And thank you for being in the world to
say them!
And thank you for being in the world to
say them! We're so glad
you're able to use our site for your diamond painting...we were
wondering why someone would want a chart without gridlines. Thank
you for explaining that!
Please feel free to
post pictures of your work, so we can all drool...diamond painting
is soooo amazing!
