I want to go to her... - Jon, the Beartato of FF
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. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Did you just have to manually split the photo or is there a super cool feature that can split the image? - Jon, the Beartato of FF
I like that the negative space is accounted for. ++Haggis - Josh Haley
very cool - Neal Jansons
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! - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Clever boy working working out the amount to remove to make it seamless. :) - Simon Wicks
That's some nice 'shopping. - Neal Jansons from IM
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... - Andy Bold
And Haggis - Awesome! :) - Andy Bold
where's the rest of the boxes? 12 is all we get? - MicahBear78
I see these and think of the puzzles... - CW™
Awesome! - Dee S.
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? - Jon, the Beartato of FF
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 - Haggis (Sean Loyless) from IM
You could use them to make one of those sliding tile puzzle things. - Robert Hafer
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
hey man You Rock! - Alp
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 - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Thanks for the instructions. :D http://friendfeed.com/joshhal... - Josh Haley
this looks really cool flinging it across in my android app! Not as cool as it does on here though :) - Tim Hoeck
This is pretty much the biggest win in awhile! - Jon, the Beartato of FF
Woww good idea, very nice, Thank Haggis - Nimaa
An interesting idea to expand on this meme would be to do this to other FFers.. - Jon, the Beartato of FF
Like I said, you really like her :) - Ryo / Fuck Facebook
Like that! - Safa Paksu (Spaksu)
Really impressive - Joe Dawson
Be still my heart - Mo Kargas
Clever - Roberto Bonini
Very cool! - Kenny
Nice! :) - Steven Perez
Color me impressed ; ) - Fossil Huntress
This came out great! Thanks for the tutorial, too. Is 150x100 the maximum size for each tile? - Michael Fidler
