If the app can read the pattern properly you can select a symbol (colour) and it highlights all of the instances of that symbol and yes, you can tap or swipe the the symbols you've done and it will mark them as done.

Are the symbols just for color or else style of stitch?
Enquiring minds want to know! How about a quick photo?

You can, but overall PDF works more seamlessly than a picture. For a picture you also have to make sure the paper is as flat as possible, which is hard with a folded up pattern (a scanner flattens it when scanning).

This one took me almost 300 hours (including back stitching) and the one I'm preparing,
Day Dreaming, has even more stitches since the Mucha one wasn't full cover. I love Merejka's kits, but they're not the easiest ones (big, with back stitching and blended colours).
I have some time getting it sorted, I still need to finish the last third of my current project (approx. 50 hours) and I'm doing two small and easy Silence of the Lambs patterns next.
