Mary,
Welcome!
Working from a photograph with only 60 stitches across is simply too small. You won't get much resolution, because there isn't much room.
If you can take a look at your photo with a graphics program, you can see how small of an area approximately 60 x 70 pixels is, and that's not even taking into account that you may not want to have your stitching all the way out to the edge. If you zoom in, it will be such a negligible amount of the photo, it will likely not look like much of anything, more of a blob of color.
I'm not sure what to suggest to work with that small of an area and a photograph. You can try reducing it, again with a graphics program (the freePatternWizard doesn't work like a graphics program, so it will indiscriminately choose pixels regardless of what you want), though the results are likely to not turn out well.
I'm so sorry not to have a better answer for you. If you're on a Windows computer and don't have a graphics program, I can give you links to two very powerful, free programs that have been around for at least two decades, so you can look closely at and/or edit your photos.

I'm a beading, knitting and crochet addict. If that means I'm admitting I have a problem, then I admit to nothing. Please refrain from helping me.
