Beadiful 19.11

Beadiful is a tool designed for creating fuse bead pixel art from photographs.

Users can select an image from their photo album, with options to zoom and pan, and generate a bead pattern based on the chosen Hama, Nabbi, or Perler bead sets and pegboard size.

An enhancement option is available to improve photo clarity and contrast, which can result in more accurate pattern generation.

The application allows users to save the resulting patterns as images within their photo album. Saved patterns can include a grid with bead codes, a list of the beads used, and overlays of bead colors on the original photo for manual adjustments.

Color matching between the photograph and bead colors is performed using an algorithm that considers human perception (https://www.compuphase.com/cmetric.htm), augmented with criteria to better match blues, greens, and grays, while avoiding overmatching purples.
