This is very cool! I know several people this will be good for!!

[trandoductin]

Several? let them know I'd love to know how useful it is to cross-stitchers since i dont' cross stitch.

[Nidhogg]

Yay, this is cool! I don't cross stitch but I will try this with someone who does.

And for those who find that the auto color match isn't good enough.
It is possible that some colors might mathematically be closer to a color but visually are not the best match.
There is a manual method where you get to manually match each color to a DMC color.
More details here --> https://gimplearn.net/viewtopic.php?t=520
(involves 2 scripts and a Codeskulptor program for the manual matching color process).
I streamed a video (now saved to youtube) showing how i would do the manual process of using both scripts and the Codeskulptor program in the middle after running the first script.
Please share with your cross-stitching friends.
Cheers.

This is a very useful script! Thanks for making it.

[trandoductin]

do you cross stitch 2-ton?

I used to do a little of it, but my eyes aren't what they used to be, and I never have time for such hobbies because I have a computer with Gimp, lol.

I had someone on twitch.com asking if i could print the generated CS pattern (a large image).
And since i don't have a printer or anything to test.
I wrote you could export it as a .pdf file. Then open it up in Acrobat Reader (not version 9, which i have and is free) and print as a tiled poster.
So any of you know of free alternatives to printing a large image as tiled poster as multiple regular pages so you could piece/tape them together?

Edit: I just found out Acrobat Reader XI (11) is free and can print tiled poster.

Tin also wrote a script to just have the Cross Stitch Look for a photo or image. I really like it.

That is a really good idea Tran. We had something like this in gimp or G'mic once without the numbers. Was called a mosaic. I know there are still mosaics but not like this one. I ran it on a photo of mine and put it up as my cover photo on Facebook and had people asking me if I'd done it. (Which of course I hadn't)
