Huh, that's actually quite interesting - but for an entirely different purpose.
My better half enjoys a bit of cross stitch. For a cheapo little gift I've played with outputting custom cross-stitch patterns based on pixellating images and reducing the number of colors to something more manageable, but it's often a little janky in GiMP and requires a bunch of manual tweaking - for anything remotely detailed it quickly becomes more hassle than it's worth.
This, on the other hand, might just do the trick!
- Obi_Juan_Kenobi 9y agoThis was my first thought as well. I've gotten decent at using photoshop to do this with generous use of cutouts and indexed color modes to custom forced palettes, but it's a very laborious process. Playing with this, it's very effective for solid-color graphics as it quickly settles in on a nice limited palette. The line-work also does a reasonable job, limiting the manual fixing to areas where lines converge and so forth. I'm working on writing up a post for /r/crossstitch comparing some different methods, so check over there in a while if you're interested.
