Title: color and black and white
Post by: jeevalges on December 01, 2020, 12:10:22 PM

Hi! Is it possible to show just shades of gray instead of the range of colors? My file is a color foto but I would like to do the cross stitch in shades of gray.

Thanks for the suggestion. How many shades of gray would you like to have?

DMC recently released a set of pure grey colors that can be used in patterns with nine different shades. Those colors are 762, 01, 02, 03, 04, 317, 413, 3799 and 310. Other variations of grayscales with more shades are used in patterns, but those thread colors are not pure gray.

As a test, I created an extra floss choice called "DMC grayscale". Can you please check if this generates the results you need?

The floss type "DMC grayscale" is now removed. Instead, it is possible to select "grayscale" and "sepia" with all the floss brands.
