I imported a planet I made with some Photoshop filters. The color on the bottom is a bluish-purplish-greyish color. When I imported it that color was mapped to a grey floss color. Are there any colors that don't map well to floss colors?
Ina 24 bit color image, there are over 16 million different rgb possibilities for representing different colors. When you convert these to 400 or so floss colors, there are always going to be colros that don't match as well as you would like. As a general rule, grays usually end up with some kind of tint toward a very light pink, purple or green.
Hi Casey, I have created a photo journal/blog to help stitchers with some of the basics of photo to cross stitch conversion. I hope the entry at this link helps. http://www.journalvillage.com/laydenwithstitches/ Sometimes blending your own colours makes a world of difference. This is a technique used by Golden Kite and they describe it on their site. http://www.goldenkite.com Sincerly, Elaine
