## What is Beadiful?

Beadiful lets you create fuse bead pixel art from photographs. 

Select a photo from your photo album, zoom and pan it, and generate a bead pattern using one or more of the Hama, Nabbi and Perler bead sets and the size of peg board you choose.

There is an option to boost photos for clarity and increased contrast which can improve the pattern. 

Save the generated patterns as images to the phone's photo album. You can save the pattern as a grid with bead codes, a list of the beads used for the pattern, and with the colors of the beads overlaid on the photo for manual tweaking. 

Color matching from picture to bead is performed using an algorithm that takes perception into account (https://www.compuphase.com/cmetric.htm), with additional criteria to match blues, greens and grays, and to avoid overmatching purples.

## Key features

- Photo to bead pattern generation

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-03-06*

Wouldn’t let me turn my image into a bead design

### 4/5 — Simple, but works

*2020-06-12*

This app is pretty simple, but it works well if that's all you need. You're able to to change the brand of beads you use as well as the peg board size. You are not able to change the size of an individual side only both so the format will always be a square. It saves the colors needed, perler design with or without grid, so that's pretty cool. There isn't a lot to do in this app, but if you just wanted a square perler design then this app is fine.

### 3/5 — Okay

*2020-03-16*

The app lacks. What about specific bead brands? Not too bad.
