Putting the mo in mosaic

Today I'm channeling my inner Chuck Close and searching for a bit of perfection in that last piece.

It's mosaic time here in the Bender household, as I learn to monkey around in PhotoShop, Bricksaic, and a number of photo manipulation software programs in an attempt to digitally manipulate a photograph to be a coherent representation that is 96 studs wide and 96 studs tall. I'd love to produce a final product that looks like Brian Korte's Yoda mosaic, which currently hangs in the Toy & Plastic Brick Museum in Bellaire, Ohio.

In layman's terms, I'm trying to turn a photo into a LEGO mosaic. In reality, I'm currently failing quite badly. On the positive side, this project requires me to buy more LEGO bricks, which is never a bad thing...

I'm currently attempting this also, how is yours coming along? I would love any tips that might make this a little easier. Of course moving 3x in the last year doesn't help.
