Tips for great photo conversions
Start with a clear photo
High-resolution images with good lighting and a clear subject produce the best diamond painting patterns.
Fewer colors = easier project
30-50 colors works great for most diamond paintings. More colors add detail but increase complexity.
Run confetti cleanup
Photo conversions often produce scattered isolated drills. Confetti cleanup removes them for a much cleaner result.
Check the FLOW Score
The FLOW Score tells you how smooth and enjoyable the pattern will be to complete. Aim for 60+ for a pleasant experience.
