Very cool program:

I've always thought about writing a program that could do this, it's cool to see that someone has.
Assuming monochrome, for example, if you wanted your "main" image to be say....256 colors, All you would have to do is get at LEAST 256 images (probably more), and order them from lightest to darkest. That would be the hardest part.
From there, it would just have to use the small images according to how dark they were, and just treat them as if they were a shade of gray, black, or white.
