Yes im using murapro to break the picture into whatever size I want. Then open them with anicro. If you're having trouble with obtaining the .acs file from your picture you have to open the piece in anicro desapro and select the ACCF pallete from the dropdown. Click on the pattern that best fits the picture you want, then double click the small icon in the bottom right, below the palletes (see pic 1). Then after double clicking, click the Show ACS Form (see pic 2). After clicking the temp name in the show acs form window, click Save ACS (see pic 3). Then finally open up Pattview 1.3 and click File then Convert, then use the Open button to select your .acs file (see pic 4). A side note, you have to manually give the file you just save an extension of .acs. by default it doesnt give the file any extension. Then after adding .acs, Pattview should recognize it. Once the .acs is opened, the .pat will be created automatically in the same folder as your .acs was in. The pallete will automatically be selected that was used on the .acs so no worry there. I hope this helps anybody that was having trouble, or may have trouble when using Pattview in the future.(BTW pretty much my first tutorial ever, tell me what you think)
