Mrs B Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 This is why I love The Refuge - it gives me somewhere to come to ask about anything when all other avenues have failed. Mr B has decided that he would like to buy me a software program for Christmas, which turns pictures or photographs into cross stitch charts. I would never have thought to ask for it for myself, but I'm quite impressed with his innovative thinking - but we have failed to work out what would be any good - either we're looking in the wrong places, or people who cross stitch are too busy doing that to review programs or put helpful information on the internet! I know very little about what these programs do, but would like something that is adaptable enough that I can choose to use 10 colours rather than 110 - and I'm more likely (at this stage) to want to convert small simple pictures for cards and so on, than complicated photographs (Tigger and Daisy, you will have to wait a while). Oh, and it needs to run on Windows 7. I'm sure Mr B would pay a reasonable amount, but I suspect there is little point in him spending £100 on a professional program - unless someone can convince me that's what I need. I don't seem to be able to find either a definitive listing of programs, or any decent reviews of them. Anyone able to help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruthi (borrowadog) Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 PC Stitch is generally regarded as pretty good. And you can download the programme to try it out. www.pcstitch.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
