If you want true colors and clean lines for the realistic bead option, which is shaded beads, I recommend PNG format. BMPs are clear true color files but very big. They work best with 256 colors or less and it's what I use most often on this page for patterns. GIF have very limited palettes to work from but are very clear. JPG files are true color files, usually fairly small file sizes for the size of the images and work very well for photographs, but can have what's called artifacts, so they are best for photos like the one above where a the little bit of dithering doesn't show. It offers all the usual file types for export. After the graph looks the way you want it, you can either save it in native BeadTool format, or you can export it for use on the web or in other material. You can adjust individual beads and colors in the pattern, but for the sake of this article, I decided to just go with how it translated so you could see how nicely it worked. There are a bunch of stitches to choose from, peyote with offsets from 1 (regular peyote) to 9 beads, loom, brick stitch and even right angle weave.Īfter you get the picture positioned and sized the way you want it on the graph, you click the Transfer button in the tool bar and it creates the pattern. There is a lot of colors and good contrast between the oranges and the greens which is why I chose this photo. I used this one of Amanita mushrooms I took earlier this summer. After you get the graph set up, just click on picture up in the tool bar to import an image. For my photo I used 50 beads wide by 48 beads long, 32 colors, Miyuki Delica palette. You start a new graph with the size you want. By default, Bead Tool uses a Miyuki Delica palette since they are consistently numbered and easily available. What most people will want to do is convert photos to bead patterns. It's simple and intuitive to use, but has enough options to make any designer happy. I almost guarantee you will like it when you try it.
