I would like to see a better tighter resolution when you import a pic to chart. I have never imported any image that came out anywhere clear enough to work with. My images are normally very simple but I end up with no clear edge of the imported image, and so many colors that I just give up because the image just isn't workable for me.
also, since I first purchased PC Stitch, years ago, I have had issues with NOTE. I finally figured out by myself that the HELP of the program seems to be missing a piece of the puzzle. When I have inserted a NOTE on a chart, I have sadly put it right over my charted area *my bad*. or I no longer want the note so I try to delete the note. but in my opinion, a step is missing in the instructions . This would be my suggestion to correct my inability to delete. You must use selection tool, surround the NOTE only then Delete (suggestion that you move the note before doing this so you don't delete your charted section behind that note).

Your image is most likely too big! You are correct to make the image simple rather than complex. The simpler the background, the better. However, if the image is too big for the size of the pattern (stitches width and height), the software has to merge multiple pixels into a single stitch color. That usually results in a badly blurred pattern.
However, if you make your initial jpeg as close as possible in pixels as the desired pattern is in stitches, there can be a 1 pixel to 1 stitch relationship that results in a more accurate pattern. Yes, the image looks TINY - imagine a pattern desired as 8 X 10 in 14 count being 112 x 140 pixels, but it works.

I used a single Image photo and can never get a clear workable chart. I could understand if I used a complex photo. the image i tried to import was a single figure (a college logo with just the center piece. very simple design. small image

Small is one thing, when I say "TINY", I MEAN "TINY"!
Also, what you see and what the computer sees is very, very different. I once did a simple black outline cartoony figure. The image that you could see was truly black outlines. What came through the conversion was a fuzzy black, brown, gray, yellow line outlining the figure.
That's why I ALWAYS say that the import of the image is JUST the first step. Even for a simple image, you have to expect hours (at least) of tweaking to get what you want.
