Question hi again, thanks for your answer.. but i dont think i explain myself very clear... what i want to do is a picture of a face or an object, but instead of actual color for each pixel, i want little small different pictures that make each pixel of the big actual picture of the face or an object. i hope you understand what i am trying to say, its like a picture of -let say a face- but when you look close you can see that is made with many different small pictures. well thanks for you time.. i hope i dont confused you.
elias.
Answer Hi Elias,
To do this in Photoshop you would need to look at all of the pictures and assign a lightness/color value to each photo and then make a grid on your photo and put the small photos in according to the values. This would be a long project.
For example you have a picture of a polar bear on the ice this photo would get a lightness value of 1 and a color value of 0 or n for neutral then you have a photo of a football field and that might get a value of 5 and G for green. And a night shot of a black cat would have a value of 10/n. You would have to make up your own system and have a LOT of pictures.
Photoshop does not have a filter or anything to do this automatically for you. I think there may be some program that can do this but I don't know what it is.
