I have been using GIMP for quite a while now and I wonder if there is an easy way to use GIMP to convert a photo into a raster image like this:

Any help will be appreciated.

Exactly what I wrote my luminosity-tiler script for(*):

Script here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-to...s/scripts/

Doc here:  https://gimp-tools.sourceforge.net/tools.shtml

I don't know how to use your script. I have installed it correctly (in de plugins directory), it shows up in Filters > Artistic > Tiles from Luminosity...
Then it asks for a tiles image. I created a test.png of 4x4 pixels all black:

After I click OK it shows a popup window saying: 'There should be at least two tiles'.

I get the same error with a black and white test2.png with two black squares of 8x8 pixels in it:

You need to also open in Gimp an image that provides the tiles. For instance with a tiles  images that contains this:

   

You go from this:

   

to this (click for full scale):

   

And yes, there appear to have been a small change in the pixellize plugin in 2.10, so :

• I fixed that problem in the script
  
• I repackaged the script as ofn-luminosity-tiler.zip (same place)
  
• The ZIP contain the script (.py), the doc (.html), and a directory of sample tiles image
  

Enjoy
