Kathy,

I finally got a chance to digest what you wrote and look at the images you sent.

Both images are more than 4 colors.  Here's what one eye looks like when enlarged in Photoshop:



This is the larger mage.

The smaller one enlarged looks like this:



The additional colors would have been introduced somewhere on your end.  It might have been done when saving the image.  It almost always would also happen when changing the size of an image.  If you can, try enlarging the smaller image you sent and see if you get the same thing.  I also looked at the larger image and see the same thing.

The PatternWizard is sensitive to all these different shades/colors and along some lines thinks there are green pixels where you want blue.  You can see in the image above that the bottom edge of the eye looks like it has green in there.

SO, you may want to see if you have a sharper image that doesn't have the shades when enlarged.  Regular line art has sharp lines and you won't need to adjust the sharpness.

Let me also look at it again tomorrow and adjust the image to true 4 colors.  I can send that to you to try again.

As for the pdf issue you saw, let me look into it.  The pdf I created looked fine.  I can tell you that the next version that will be enabled soon has a couple changes to the pdf creation code to make it more compatible with different versions of pdf viewing software.

If the image I create and send solves your color problem (which I think it will) and you still have pdf issues, you can let me know and I'll let you try the upcoming version to see if it's a pdf viewing compatibility issue that gets fixed with the update.

Not sure what time I'll send the image but I will at some point tomorrow (well, actually later today Laughing).

Terry

How do I get it to use only (and all) the colors I've selected? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Joan,

Welcome!  Smile

Hopefully this will set your mind at ease.  Smile  A word chart of a graph is just like any normal crochet pattern.  You still need a turning chain and you still need to turn your work as you would with any other pattern.  A word chart merely assumes you have prior knowledge of crochet, so it doesn't spell everything out; it's there to clarify which colors go where.

So you're not wrong...you're absolutely correct!  Smile
