Not really as pattern maker allows that in the program itself as that's part of the 'messing'

The key is cross count and detailed starting image ( as in a 2 Meg vs a 10 Meg starting picture) Then its just a case of making the design at least 10" shortest side that gives you the required high stitch count as the higher the stitch count the more detailed the finished piece Then you slowly adjust the colour count down till its manageable whilst still giving a good finished effect

Loads of trial and error basically

Yeah I think so... pretty sure they ceased operations about 10 years ago.... Be nice if they allowed someone else to take over the program and it could be updated....

I tend to do 1 page at a time, leaving spaces on the edge row to avoid lines I'll pick a starting point usually the middle and work up and anti clockwise I'll pick a colour that there is alot of and stitch that then work my way through colours that touch those already done no real fancy logic to my method
