Once a design has been created from the Bead Faerie, you can adjust the Color Conversion.

The default from the Bead Faerie is Exactly. The slider bar lets you re-draw (or render again) a pattern from the graphic image.

Sharpen - The best color conversion, based upon the 5.0 algorithm. It causes the program to match the beads to the sharp color of the image.

Exactly - The shift between colors is a harder break, instead of a gradual blend between the colors. It causes the program to match the beads to the exact color of the image. As a result, you will see jagged appearance, especially where straight lines are involved.

Smooth - Imagine Vaseline on a glass lens, where the colors are not as defined. It causes the program to perform color averaging which tends to smooth out straight and curved lines.

 

Color Gradations (initial and current color)

This is for adjusting the Hue, Lightness and Saturation of any design. You can individually control each of the parameters separately by changing the numbers of by moving the squares.
