Hi, I am a research student who is doing a research about paintings. I need to create control conditions for the experiment but dunno how to do it.

I want to cut a painting into tiny pieces and then randomize the position of the pieces all over the canvas. Therefore, participants cannot resognize that the control condition comes from the original painiting, but they still see the same colors and brightness of the original painting. Is there any filter or plugin in photoshop which I can use? If not, could you please suggest other software?

Thank you very much!!! ^_^

I have a sample of the effect, but the ideal effect would be like 1*1 pixel per box

If you slice the image, you should be able to script the "random" rearrangement.

Check out the PS scripting forum for more info.
