Combine two images

README

Blind Combine
=============

Combines two images together by replacing every other pixel of a source image with a pixel from another image
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(well, it will do eventually)

Developed as a way to epxlore remixing as part of the Archive Remix project http://archiveremix.tumblr.com/

Dependencies
============
- Imagemagick

#need some method to make both images the same dimensions if they're not already. An attempt below:
