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!
I have created a beading pattern with the right-angle option and when is getting created the beads colours and symbols are scattered across without overlapping correctly.
Maybe that is something you might want to fix
Thanks
Congrats on learning cross stitch...it's such a
fun thing to do and there are so many options for
projects!Kathy,
I wasn't thinking of all the options.
First, in answer to your question, most graphics programs try to do what's called antialiasing. This is smoothing out jagged lines. To do this, they add shades of gray or sometimes other colors when re-sizing your image.
In Photoshop, a solution for this is to work in an "indexed image" mode. In this mode, it will not introduce additional colors.
This made me think of something. Gif images are not compressed and use a limited and fixed palette of colors. You can change their size without having it add new colors. It's as close as you can get to what's called vector images without the complexity.
So, I just took your #1 image that you emailed me a couple days ago and used Photoshop to save it out as a .gif image. I checked it and it still had 4 colors. Then I loaded the .gif image back into Photoshop and re-sized it down to 155 and re-saved it. I did have to touch up the eyes since shrinking it dropped out some of the blue pixels in the eyes. So after making them symetrical again, I saved it and ran it through the program and it does appear to work.
I'll email you the .gif image and you can try it out. You should also be able to work with the .gif image in a graphics program and it should not add any stray colors.
Let me know if this helps.
Terry
I am looking for input from Stitchboard members as to what types of stitch patterns they are interested in having charted.
I am also looking for charts which members would like to have decoded.
Please try to select charts which are free so that everyone can access them and participate. Thank you!
I will sort through the requested materials by complexity, and then prepare additional tutorials from them.
Thanks!
family sacred? hmmm i think not blood might be thicker than water but your family can turn out to be your worst enemy of all
