Converted color Order

Hello, I know this question has to of been asked a million times...... I have a owner of a Tajima Neo who had owned a Brother machine prior. When converting her files to DST we lost the color "order". Is there anyway of telling after conversion of the COLOR sewing order when looking at a representation of the file? I know the files after conversion look like a "negative" of the previous file. What I am looking for is there anyway to tell by looking at this "negative" of what the Tajima sewing order will be? As per the first color to be sewn the second to be sewn etc.

Hope this makes sense. Any help you can give me would be appreciated.

Thank You

The color sequence is still correct. The DST format doesn't include a color palette. You have to either re-edit the design or use the original color chart.

Following is my response to a similar question in another group a couple of days ago:

Some design formats do not contain specific color information (known as a palette). In particular, commercial formats such as .dst rely on the user having access to color charts - so the designs only contain information such as Color #1, #2, etc., without indicating what color #1 should be. That info is on a color chart. For this reason, programs use a default palette, where Color 1 is always Black, Color 2 is always Blue, Color 3 is always Green, etc. That's where the "crazy colors" come from.

Home formats such as .pes and .hus DO include the information - their internals say something like Color #1 is Red, Color #2 is Nile Green, etc. If a design has been converted from .dst without being re-edited, they will have been saved with the Black/Blue/Green... palette.

If you leave a design in .dst format, the newly edited colors will be lost. Once the colors have been corrected, the design should be saved in a format that includes color palettes.

You are exactly on what I was looking for. The exact colors does not matter to me as I would imagine the color just like a coloring book. What you did mention though is the "Default Palette" where color #1 is Black, #2 is Blue, #3 is always green...... Because Color #1= Sewing order #1, Color #2 = Sewing order #2, etc.

This is what I am looking for. where could I find the "default Palette" for the Tajima format.

Thanks for your quick response by the way. This is a perfect example of what these groups are for.

There isn't one - that black/blue/green sequence appears to be a semi-standard in embroidery software for palette-less formats. (And it seems to vary based on the number of colors used - a two color design I just looked at shows up as blue, green in Viking's customizer, but a green, blue in Wilcom's TrueSizer.)

You're welcome

Aww shucks thought this would be fairly straight forward. several thousand patterns to go through. Would be nice if there was a way to know what order they were in. Alas guess the old fashioned way is in order....

In Embird, open your design, select Color Palette, then Palette Type, then select the palette from the list. After you make your selection, there will be a bar at the bottom of screen that says Apply Color Change. When you hit the bar, the colors in your design will change to that Palette. You might have to try all the palettes until you get the one you want. Select Save color palette, and Embird will ask if you want to rewrite the design with the new palette. It will write an EDR file with the design with the corrected colors.

appreciated.
