Ya know those pictures where they use lots of little tiny pictures to make one big greater picture? I saw a Star Wars one the other day where it had lots of little images from the star wars movie in it and when you stood back you could see a picture of Yoda’s face.

Is there anywhere on the net I can get these?

I remember seeing a book of those at a Books-A-Million over a year ago. Try looking up “Mosiac Pictures” or something along those lines.

BTW, have you seen the Darth Vader one? Very Cool.

The pages I’ve seen refer to them a montages.

Have a look for those. The Linux Montage Project at [http://linux.remotepoint.com/](http://linux.remotepoint.com/) lists the free tools they used to create their one, so might be worth a visit if you want to roll your own.

Just in case you want to, I got PhotoSuite III & it says you can do your own montages with it. It was free software when I bought ME.

Where it says “Announcing the pre-1697 version of LIMP.”

Click there (or goto [http://linux.remotepoint.com/pre/pre-1697.php3](http://linux.remotepoint.com/pre/pre-1697.php3) ) and the image is at the bottom of the page. Click the other link for the full size thing, and you’ll see that the picture of Tux is made up of loads of small images.

That’s the only one they have…try a web search for others though.
