Clone the Fractal-Mosaics repository (or, if you don't have git, just download the [zip file](https://github.com/s-ben/Fractal-Mosaics/archive/gh-pages.zip)). +2. Navigate to the /code folder and unpack the 'FractalMosaics_package' zip or tar.gz file. This contains the demo example. +3.

If you want to optimize it, please do ;) -The demo example creates a black and white mosaic. This is because color takes ~3X as long. To create a color mosaic, download the color image set and set Fractal Mosaics to color mode (see the [Variables](https://github.com/s-ben/Fractal-Mosaics/wiki/Variables) page for info on this). Due to file size limits in Google Drive, the color image set is divided into two zip files ([image set 1](https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3M2Bu_2k-QSSnhSVzNWRERtenc/edit?usp=sharing), [image set 2](https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3M2Bu_2k-QSTkxxbEVGay1Gcjg/edit?usp=sharing)). +The demo example creates a black and white mosaic.
