Making a graph in Photoshop

Hey, stitchers,

I just found this. It's a FREE download. One of the folks at Knitter's
magazine, David Xenakis, has put together a wonderful article. It tells
you in detail how to make a REALLY GOOD chart from a photo, using Adobe
Photoshop.

It is a PDF file, so you'll need Adobe to read it. And you'll find it
3/4 of the way down this HUGE page, which takes forever to load. But
it's well worth the wait.

Highlights:

suggestions as to picking a photo
controlling grid size
Making part of the grid black (for over light colors) and part of it
white (over dark)
adding symbols to help tell similar colors apart

!!!

Pretty cool, what? Now if I can just learn to count my stitches...
