Welcome to Stitchboard! Feel free to sit and stay awhile. Check out our new Premier features.

Sirdroid,
LOL! No need to suck
up, we'll answer you anyway! 
Okay, a couple
of things I can think of:
Are you using
"Black and White" or "Shades of Gray"? Those are both very
different.
Another important thing is not to
use the freePatternWizard as a graphics program. If you're working
with an image that's, say, 5000 pixels x 5000 pixels and you bring
it down to the default of 80, it won't reduce the image size for
you; it will simply try to pick out 80 pixels. That's best off done
first in a graphics program. There are two powerful ones I can
recommend (free!) if you're using a PC. You're best off reducing
the image to the size of what you're trying to make, so if it's 80
stitches wide, you need to make it 80 pixels wide using a graphics
program first.
This may be a bit dicey,
though, since a jpg format, if that's what you have, already has
colors added to it. Resizing the image will add more colors. So
it's not as simple as having a black & white image and
reducing it to make a smaller black & white image. Certain
file formats (such as GIF) are better than others, but simply
changing an image from one format to a better one doesn't actually
improve the image as much as it only changes the format...with all
of the extraneous colors already in it.
So
my first suggestion is to decide what size across you want the item
to be, take the image and run it through a graphics program,
resizing it to the finished size (number of stitches = pixels) you
want, remove the extraneous colors you'll be able to see by zooming
in and then try it out with the freePatternWizard, being sure to
set the number of pixels in #6 to the number of stitches you want
across (so if you want 100 stitches, your image will be 100 pixels
wide which will become 100 stitches across). What you'll actually
see in your graphics program is what the freePatternWizard will
see. 
Oooh, we're
Flintstones fans here, too! LOL, Fred and Barney were pretty good
actors...wonder whatever happened to them?
