Filter to implement the creation on a new image (dimension is a user option), with a WARHOL's painting look (single outcome), starting from an RGB* input image where colours are quantized using the temporary conversion of the image from RGB to Indexed (nr of colours is a user option), then back to RGB, and each color area filled with a SEMI-RANDOMLY GENERATED COLOUR (default option). You can restrict colors to a palette or gradient of your choice, and ask for grayscale nuances.

- Crochet on Source (more coloured)
- Source on Crochet (even more coloured)
- Combo Crochet (similar to the second, a different look of a crochet done with coloured threads)
