■ Creating Beautiful Photo
Embroidery
• Select a photograph that shows a large image.
(A photograph with an intricate image, for
example, one that contains many objects, is not
suitable.)
• Increase the contrast.
• An image with a width and height between 300
and 500 dots is suitable.
• Check the photo.
The following types of photos are not
appropriate for creating embroidery patterns.
• Photos where the subject is small, such as
in photos of gatherings
• Photos where the subject appears dark,
such as photos taken in a room or taken
with backlighting
• If the embroidery pattern is not created as
expected, change the settings in the Photo
Stitch 1 Parameters dialog box.
Brightness: Increase the brightness of the
image.
Max. Number of Colors: Increase the number
of colors that are used.

“Color Option” on page 131.
• If the created embroidery pattern contains colors
that you do not wish to emphasize (for example,
grays in the face), change the sewing order in
the Sewing Order/Lock dialog box so that the
undesirable color is sewn before all other colors.
