The resulting 358 photographs were processed using custom-written software that read the RGB color value for every pixel and wrote those values to a text file.

This file was then used in conjunction with a second piece of software to rebuild a single image, containing every pixel from the 358 photographs, sorted from black to white - a total of 42,607,656 pixels.
