High-detail color preview · Maple
High-detail color preview 360 × 360 · 115 DMC · 15,196 isolated cells

360 × 360 cells · up to 128 colors · refined matching · small-detail priority · gentle dithering. Each cell still represents one stitch.

More detail means more work: 129,600 stitches. Dithering improves distant gradients but increases isolated stitches. Turn it off or choose a smaller grid for a more manageable project. Screen colors only approximate physical thread.
