From geekology, This 262-megapixel (24,168 x 10,864) mosaic is made out of 69,550 screen captures from the Star Wars series. The piece was made by Avinash Arora using some mosaic software and a tweaked algorithm. As you can see it's stunning. It was printed out at 3'x6' because the printer Avinash went to was unable to open the 712-megapixel version (3GB compressed, 40GB uncompressed) he wanted to use to make a 5' x 11' print. Over two weeks in the making, Avanish spent 30+ hours adding finishing touches in the end. Congratulations, it looks great. You could probably sell these to Star Wars fanatics for a good chunk of change. It's certainly better than my Last Supper was. Which, incidentally, didn't agree with me and came back up in the middle of the night.

Well, that's sorta cool, but when I've looked closely at some of those mosaics before I've noticed that the program actually tints the tiny pics according to what it needs. You think it meticulously finds pictures that have the right color tones and then you spot the same little still in two different places with two different tones.
I'm not saying that's necessarily going on here, but it could be.
