#13 – Creating Cross Stitch Patterns In Adobe Photoshop
Instead of buying a separate program like PC Stitch for making patterns on your computer if you are that kind of crafter, did you know you can make any image into a cross stitch pattern with Adobe Photoshop in just a few easy steps? And after the first, you’ll have part of the process saved, so it saves time from there. The one thing that’s more difficult is that it will not map out the threads you need and their colors – but you can find the RGB color and get it’s DMC Floss equivalent from different sites. Most of these only have certain colors, so I am working on making a comprehensive chart to go along with this tutorial, which is really useful because a friend of mine is trying to do artistic cross stitching to bring in extra income because they are behind on bills… but being behind means she can’t afford the money for the program. The whole catch-22 of needing money to make money… So I thought this might help hobbyists save some money, and some hard drive space if another art program is already on the computer.
