The dream catcher is an ancient object. Native Americans would weave small, strong ropes in a net-like pattern inside of a circular frame. They would string a few small beads on the rope as they tied it together. Then, they would hang feathers from strings on the bottom of the frame. The net inside of the frame was said to catch all of your dreams.

Make sure your map IS greyscale, and that the canvas size is 513x513 in pixles. Also make sure you're doing this on one layer, and try not to have spaces on the image name.

Ok(I have a Mac too, yet I'm not much of a map maker) so see if this post from FastWolf helps;
Hai, the name's Fastwolf. I've heard from random websites some people are having trouble with the things in the title, I have the answer to that. c:

FeralHeart Won't Load Up!

So I've heard you've been endlessly clicking on that icon on your desktop named 'FeralHeart'..?
Well, that's easy to sort. Go to the top bar on your desktop and click on 'Spotlight' (That lil' magnifying glass.), then type in FeralHeart. Whatever you do, DO NOT CLICK ON THE ONE WHICH SAYS "Desktop" NEXT TO IT. Otherwise, this means you have not read on and you'll be sad that it won't open. Click the one named, 'FeralHeart -- Downloads' that will work, if it doesn't, I'm very sorry but I have no idea.

My Downloads Aren't Appearing!

Alright, once again you go to spotlight, type in FeralHeart, go to the 'Feralheart -- Download', then that will work and you'll have an epic interface, items, maps, markings, presets, etc.. etc..


I hope I helped all you MAC users. c: (By the way before you say I copied this off the internet, I seriously didn't. I figured all this out for myself ^^)
