Here's the result I said I'd post. It's an image of my ex-girlfriend (about
4 years ago) with that puzzle effect added. I think it's ironic that I
tried this technique on a picture of her (if you don't get it, never mind).
She was trying to pretend she was a blasted model. LOL

Anyway.......

I achieved the effect, I think, but the pieces are a bit too small. That
was the first try, and I had to fill in the missing step. I had to play
with the levels on the last two a little bit, and it could have looked
better. I just don't have the time.

Oh, I also lightened it a bit with the contrast bar in the levels dialog
box too. That made a big difference. Again, first try.

If anyone has, or comes up with, a better-looking version, I'd love to see
it. But please tell us how you tweaked it to make it better. :)
