General Considerations

The PhotoStitch Assistant is most easily used with photos in which the person’s face is well defined, and the background color, if used, contrasts well with the face and hair.

Removing the background can not only remove objects that draw attention from the subject of the picture, but can also enable Autolevel to enhance the color.

Before tidying: there are unwanted items in the background of the picture

It can also create an embroidery with a much lower stitch count, for ease of stitching.

For PhotoStitch, best results may be obtained where the background is almost completely removed. Removing the heavily contrasting background colors may bring out subtle color variations in the person’s features.
