When converting an image to a pattern, is there an easy way to merge isolated stitches or do I have to highlight each colour to see where they all are?

There is no automatic conversion of confetti stitches. The image conversion program goes by your parameters for number of colors and these kind of stitches are inevitable. The best bet is to look at the pattern a section at a time and change these stitches to a nearby color as best fits the actual image. This is just part of the "tweaking" step of creating a pattern.

If the image is simple (especially a simple background), very small, and the number of colors not too large; the creation of these confetti stitches is minimized.

By very small - I mean to try to make the image the same dimensions (or nearly so) as the dimensions in stitches of the final pattern. One pixel to one stitch is the goal.

Thank you, that's what I thought, it's not so much confetti I'm worried about but literal isolated stitches, I'll just have to highlight each colour and scan the pattern.
