If you want to change the design into real beads afterwards you should chose the brand of beads you have available such as Hama Beads, Perler Beads, Artkal Beads, Nabbi Beads or Pyssla Beads. If you don’t have all the colors then just make your own palette with the colors you have, where mixing beads from different brands is possible. Use the different tools available for placing single beads at a time or drawing/painting with the brush tool. Making mistakes is part of it; this is where undo/redo and the eraser tool comes in handy. Generating boards from photos can make some marvelous designs, and you can control many aspects of the image before conversion such as dithering, coloring and lighting. Use the crop tool to select which area of the photo you want to convert, just set the size of the board you want to make first (such as 58x58 beads) and then the aspect ratio of the cropping area is fixed. You can now select the area and zoom in and out to your liking; it’s really simple and easy to use!
