When I try to import an image, which I've been doing for years, all I get is a brown square in the preview area. Is there a way to correct this?

Check the zoom factor on the preview. If it's zoomed in too close, everything kind of blurs into nothing!

I tried that first thing. This isn't even blurry, just solid brown. :(

The first thing I would try is another image - any image - to see if that one comes out normal.

Another thing is to check the size of the image you have. It should be small -- very small! To get the best conversion, you should have it sized as close as possible to 1 pixel = 1 stitch.

Also, check the "maximum colors" setting.

Sadly, I've done all these things too. I've been using imported images for years, so this is really puzzling. I might try uninstalling and reinstalling if I can find my disk.

If it's just that image. I would suspect that it's the problem. Look at it in other software and see if you can make any mods or even just save it again to see what happens.

I have tried several images, resizing, numbers of colors, size of stitches, and rebooting. I've sent a message to support as well.

I am delighted to say that Jennifer contacted me and it the problem was that somehow I had changed the floss type to Variations. Life is back to normal.
