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!

Hi, Carol,
This enhancement is most apparent on the edges of lines in an image. Here's an example:
I ran the program with the original image above. Then I set the "smoothness" setting to the sharpest setting (-15). You can see it sharpened lines. This can also sometimes introduce some stray pixels. Then I set is at its smoothest setting (+15). You can see it in effect did some blurring or smoothing of lines. In this small example it's a bit hard to see that the pattern generated with the "smoothest" setting is different than the original image but it is. It will be more apparent if you try it with your own image. It's actually similar to the blur function but there are differences in how it mathematically does its work.
I usually tell people to try adjusting the smoothness and blur settings to see if it helps you get the result you want. I also suggest trying the "antialias" feature as this also enhances edges of images.
Hope this helps.

i'll let you know if you use a phrase we're not familiar with
Debbie,
Thank you for your kind words and understanding.
It's nice to know someone
appreciates the amount of work that goes into maintaining and
updating the entire site!
Hello All, my name is Kelly and I just joined stitchboard today. I found you from a link in Ravelry. I just love to crochet, it consumes me, mind, body, soul and wallet! I live in NJ and I'm 43 with one daughter who is almost 6 (next month!) I'm married to my best friend, Jim, who is an automotive transmission mechanic and also a school board member. We love to do all sorts of family things on the weekends. Here we are again, it is upon us and fall is one of my busiest and most fun arts, crafts and family seasons! Glad to have found you all! Have a great weekend!
