I know I was slow .. don't rub it in.
It don't have time to read the group every day anymore .. at least I noticed
it the first time.

Reading the archives for this newsgroup with google groups is a good way to
start.
We have discussed this subject before .. mostly between Markus Gebhard and
others (me f.x)

> Or someone could show me a good Converter.
Markus Gerhard have programmed and developed JavE that draws , plots, 3D
renders, converts, and edits ascii-art .. A sort of ascii-photoshop

After many suggestions from us , and his own ideas and hard work , it have
developed into a excellent convertor.
It's still clear that humans draw better , but a good convertor is a great
help.
It gives you a form to work on, something that makes it easier for many
people that can't visualize the final image when faced with a blank page.
As such a tool it helps overcomes writers block.

Try running it through Jave4 .. but beware .. it have so many options that
finding the best way to convert your image is an beginning to be an artform
in itself :)
It seems there are some ways that work really well for one type of image and
crappy for other types.

If the Metallica logo is a B/W graphic then try the felt pen , edge tracing
and edge detection algorithms first .. they seems to work very well for that
type of images.
