Can anyone recommend a good, easy-to-use software that will take a
scanned photo and turn it into a nice pattern? Preferably one that will
allow the user to chose the number of different yarns needed. I've found
quite a few mentioned, but can't find any threads discussing them. Thanks.

Just about all the software for sale meets your requirements. Personally
I use Pattern Maker by Hobbyware. However, be warned. Turning a picture
into a pattern is not an easy thing to do. Any picture can be turned into
a pattern, but finding a picture that, when you have a pattern, you find
that pattern to be worthwhile to stitch is a horse of an entirely
different color. Producing a pattern from a picture that you or anyone
else wants to stitch is a major challenge. Jim.

Thanks for the warning. Can you please explain a bit about what makes
this such a difficult task?

Oh oh... Thanks for your efforts, Jim, but my e-mail address isn't a
working one. :o( Sorry that you went to all the trouble, but I
appreciate the try.
