Hi, All
First, for anyone having any problems bringing up the freePatternWizard pattern creation software by using the top drop-down menu, feel free to Take This Link
Our showcase has been updated. If you've previously uploaded a showcase in the past, please check to see if it's been posted; meanwhile, if you want to submit one (or another one, if you've already posted before), feel free to do so!
Also note we now have an additional (optional) assembly page for the freePatternWizard. This is for larger pieces that have multiple pages. Much smaller patterns won't need this.
To freePatternWizard paid Premium subscribers having problems logging in:
If you're logged into your Stitchboard account (shows "Hi, name" in the upper right corner of each page), you can ignore the rest of this message.
If you're not logged into your Stitchboard account and you are a freePatternWizard paid Premium subscriber, please take this link one time to verify your subscription(s). It will also ask you to change your password. Again, you only need to do this once.
If you are not a paid Premium subscriber and are having problems logging in, try logging into the Stitchboard website. If you see an "Invalid login username or password" message, you may need to re-register at this link or by clicking the "Register" link at the top of the page. If you try re-registering and get a "duplicate email address" message, you'll need to go through the "password change" function by using this link.
To read a particular post, simply click on it!
Glad to have you here!

Welcome, Silvertiger!
What a great name!Feel free to share pics of your work...we always want an opportunity to drool!
Gayle,
I'm not sure what you're getting re: colors, but one thing I do know of is a problem with jpg files. These files don't have "true" colors...colors will tend to be mottled and smudged and thus, won't remain true.
Better file formats for "true" colors are pngs and gifs. But if you're going from jpg to one of those, you likely will still end up with colors that aren't exactly what you want, meaning you may have to clean up the image manually. I know that's not exactly ideal, but again, the problem is caused in the first place by the inefficiency of the jpg format.
For instance, have you noticed that in the image you attached, the bill has a faint "w" in that part of the image? (You may have to move around so that your vision is at an angle, but it is visible.) Unfortunately, something like that can help throw off the result. It's not only in the beak...that's just the most obvious issue. If you import this image into a graphics program and use the program's eye dropper to mouse over only, say, the yellow, if you watch the RGB numbers, you'll see they vary constantly.
Because the jpg format is so common, something like this is rarely noticed until you need an image that has solid, true colors.
Since the image is fairly simple, you may be able to lasso the various areas and apply a flood fill to make them solid colors, then save the results out as a gif or png.
If you don't have a graphics program, there are two very powerful ones for PCs:
gimp (https://www.gimp.org/)
and
paint.net (https://www.getpaint.net/)
If the problem you're experiencing is other than the colors not being "true," then please explain what's happening, as I'm only able to guess at this point.
