I would like to convert a photo into Ascii art. I want to reproduce the effect shown here: http://purtyy.com/?/web/darevancouver/
What's the best way of doing this? I have tried some of the online Photo-to-Ascii services, but the outputted images are too big, so the text is too tiny.
The services I have tried are: http://www.text-image.com/convert/ascii.html http://www.glassgiant.com/ascii/ http://photo2text.com/Default.aspx
Is there a better way?
