Step 1 - choose a photo with as simple a background as possible - put the emphasis on the foreground.
Step 2 - make the photo the same dimensions in pixels as the desired pattern - the closer to 1/1 of pixels to stitches, the better your start.
Step 3 - Import using the desired number of colors - know there are only a limited number of shades of gray/white/black and be prepared to change things.
Step 4 - tweak!
You'll never get the "crisp" edged you think you see in the photo. The computer sees things differently. You'll need to change colors, either en-masse or individually. I did a black/white image and one shade of "gray" was a bright yellow,
It will take time - take the time. The import is the first step. I like having the original image side-by side with the imported pattern image and adjust what I see from that.
Final tip - relax and enjoy yourself!
