By changing Old Glory.tiff, this is fairly easy to hack with other flags -- such as Finland, the USSR ensign or Jack Rackham's jolly roger. However, the algorithm seems to adjust the effective image size and blur the result. It would be cool to see other versions of this with different flags, provided it was done right.

I stuck the flag of England in it and it is not blurred, no more than the original US one that was in it.

Just tried it with a Jolly Roger, I think the more intricate the picture the more blurring will occur, it's still acceptable tho.

How exactly would you go about changing the flag?
