I repeat the question: how can I digitize a photograph?

Press RESET immediately, All! That is, for a face to be made up of letters and numbers, it is necessary to display it on alphanumeric terminal. I have AAlib with programs. It turns out sucks. Maybe there is some kind of script or plugin for GIMP, or just is this program? * Originally in zx.grafix *Crossposted in RU.LINUX
