Publisher's description
From STOIK Imaging :Color By Number lets you to convert photo to a paint-by-number pattern. Just scan the photo or load graphics file from disk, choose the brand of paints/crayons to be used and the program will convert your photo to a paint-by-number pattern optimized for the palette you have chosen. You can print the pattern together with color key New in version 2.5: - The pattern may have now up to 255 colors This greatly enhances program ability to find best matching colors for your photos. - Option to use mixed colors. It often happens that particular paint palette contains too few colors to properly match colors in your photo. If you check 'Use mixed colors' option on the Colors dialog the program will look for best matching colors not only among pure palette colors, but among mixes of up to 3 colors from the palette. - Option to convert to the best matching RGB colors. This option allows the most accurate reproduction of colors, because the choice of best matching colors will not be limited by the colors available in the selected palette. You should not however that when you use this option it is not guaranteed that the colors in the pattern will be available in any of the paint palettes you may have. - Added Shaded palette The shaded palette (Shaded Carandache) contains several shades of each pure palette color. This allows better reproduction of photo colors even of the number of colors in the photo exceeds the number of pure colors in the palette.

Version: Color by Number 2.5
"Works as I expected: produces outline, key, color pic"
Pros: It works as you expect - selecting different coloring media types (e.g. acrylic paint, pencils etc.) produce coloring outlines with different degrees of detail (more detailed for pencils, less for painting) & color keys reflecting the media selected.
Cons: Generating an outline that is easy to color in is quite dependent on the selection of the original photo and the coloring material (pencil type, acrylic paint etc.) - very detailed pictures can have too many areas to easily color.

Version: Color by Number 2.5
Pros: If you have some photos that you want to break into patterns this is the product to use.
The colors delight and the patterns are beautiful.Cons: I can not think of problems with this software..
I do not use the numbers when I paint.. I just use the colors I want to use..Summary: I spend hours transfering the patterns on to tracing paper so I can transfer the pattern to my watercolor paper.. and I never get bored..

Version: Color by Number 2.5
Pros: The rendering of your image into a color by number template works okay -- not great by passable.
Cons: The colors don't match up with the original artwork. But the most important thing is that the numbers are in a 2-point font: you can't read them and there's no way to enlarge the numbers, so you can't really do anything with the final output.
Summary: Maybe there are other usage for this software -- but it's clearly not a color-by-number program. I wasted 2 hours exploring the software & trying to make it work.
