Took a while to realize it was about graphics and not docker, maybe that's my bad.

I actually thought the same thing. I thought this was a tool to compose Docker images transparently in some way.

Ditto, thought this was a guide to multi-stage Docker builds or something.

I did too. BTW Buildah for building docker images without docker.

I had the same thought. BTW buildah for building docker images without docker.

From the ‘About,’ I thought that it would use various images of different colors.
detaro
It does?

As far as I can see, it uses the same image, painting it different colors. I think it would be cooler to mix various images but with the scaling. There are plenty of ‘mosaic’ tools like that, however they mostly use images of the same size, essentially as uniform pixels.

Look at the minecraft tiles example. The readme also describes an extra tool to make differently-colored versions of a single image to feed into the program.

Seeing Minecraft pixel art always makes me nostalgic

What a waste of effort and talent.

This looks so cool! The results are great.

The '@'-symbol derived Github logo and the paperclip pie are fantastic. This could easily be used to create high quality logos or t-shirt designs.

Kudos to the author(s).

I just thought about building something like this. Will give me some good input. Thank You!

Shameless plug: Here's my take on building images with images. It uses a genetic algorithm. https://github.com/iver56/emoji-art-generator

Doesn't someone have a patent on this? I vaguely remember this at one point.

Does anyone know of an app to mKe one of those animated gifs pf a face stabilized selfie montage?

I cant seem to figure out how to find one.

Funny I thought this about containers and kept on reading README, realized only when I actually saw example "images".
