hello metalerik,Micah's script is blazingly awesome!! Yesterday, I've tried that, and it simply diminshes the language gap, let people from all over the world read, talk to each other on ff. I shared the script to our Chinese group http://friendfeed.com/chinese... , and hope friendfeed team can make it a default setting on all pages...thanks for your commenting:))

Thanks to Simon Wicks for pioneering this. I brought the photo into Photoshop and split it up into 150x100 boxes and removed 8 pixels to the right and 6 pixels to the bottom of the panels so the photo is seamless.

Did you just have to manually split the photo or is there a super cool feature that can split the image?

I like that the negative space is accounted for. ++Haggis

Manually. Cropped the picture at the total width of the 3x4 panels at 466 x 418, then got out my marquee selection tool out and set it to 150x100 and then just drew guides around the boxes until they were all drawn. Lastly I used the Slice tool (Slice from Guides), deleted the slices for the "margins" and named all the pics in numeric order (01, 02, 03, etc). Then just did Save for Web and chose JPG. Ta-da!

Clever boy working working out the amount to remove to make it seamless. :)

Jonathan, I hear that Fireworks can do this kind of thing. But if you don't fear the command line then you can grab Imagemagick and use it's convert tool. I posted some details over at --> http://friendfeed.com/andybol...

Working on one now and am not quite sure how to draw the guides around the boxes. Just put in new guide and specify the position?

If you have "snap" turned on, you should be able to pull a guide from the top or left ruler and it should snap to the edge of your selection box

You could use them to make one of those sliding tile puzzle things.

Ok. Got the guides set up, but there's some extra shit to the bottom and right of the image. How did you adjust for the margins when you sliced it?
- Jon, the Beartato of FF
For example, I left an 8px space after each column and a 6px space after each row (except the last column and last row) and just deleted the extra "slices" after I sliced from guides
