Lisa,

Goodness, I can completely understand how hard it is to count and write patterns by hand!    I did that pre-computers...ouch, you're not kidding about eyestrain!

As for your questions:
1) You've been upgraded! 

2) Please let me know if I'm understanding your question correctly.    You've taken a png of the output of a stitching program - an already-created graph - and used that as a basis for creating a pattern?  If that's correct, the answer is actually simpler than that...all you need to do is take your original image and run that through the freePatternWizard.  That will get you the most optimal result.    In other words, this lets the program do the work for you, rather than using another program first to do the work.  Now, you'll still likely have to experiment a bit to figure out the length of your pattern (you can only enter a width, because if you were to designate a length, too, it would skew your pattern), but that can be done in a graphics program by adding borders.

We do have plans to add some editing functions, which may or may not help with what you're doing, but those are not available at this time.

Hope that helps!    Let me know how sending the original image through works for you...it may even work out that you don't need to add borders, but that depends on your image and isn't something I can really say.
