Art QR Codes from The Met & Getty Museum

Just wanted to share that both The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Getty Museum have QR codes available from their art collection! I think it's pretty neat that they reached out to AC fans like this. I can't wait to deck my walls with some art!

I've tried the pattern tool they use, and the result isn't too good.

A lot of it does come off as wonky, but I've had a few paintings work for me. I found out that simple paintings with a zoomed up feature (like focusing on a face, a ship ect.) comes off better with the picture tool. If a painting is too zoomed out or busy it's becomes too muddled. Here's an example of the paintings I used:

In those cases, I had to zoom in on the ships and the man's face and the colors contrasted enough so the image shows up. I like the low-res myself, since it looks a little spooky which is exactly what I'm looking for!
