WHAT YOU CAN DO • Image → Bead Pattern: Import a photo, choose a 14×14 / 29×29 / 58×58 / 87×87 grid, and pick "Cartoon" (dominant-color BFS) or "Realistic" (average-color) pixelation. • Cross-Palette Conversion: Switch a pattern between MARD / COCO / Manman / Panpan / Mixiaowo using a 290+ row mapping matrix. No more guessing equivalents. • Inventory Tracking: Record bead codes, quantities (accurate or estimated), and brand labels.
