Program to create/edit mural painings?

Has anyone ever seen a program around that'll take an image and do the following:

1) split the image into variably sized blocks(to simulate the blocks in a building), to get an estimate of dimensions and whatnot when the painting is put onto a building. and then allow each block to be printed out to give to each participant.

2) perhaps convert the image to 256 colors or less and return how much of each color is contained in the image. so buying exact amounts of paint is easier.

I would think a photo editting program might be able to do this, or surely there'd be something on the market to do this?
Thanks for any help!

hey Jason, I'm pretty sure photoshop can do the mosaic effect (blocks) that you want. I don't know about returning the amount of each colour for buying exact amounts though.

hehe, it seems like some programs can break it up, and some can find the color, but I can't find one that can do everything. Hmm, if only I was confident with my C++ skills. :)
