I was thinking that if you assigned each tile a shade of gray, you could use the
value of each pixel to tell you what tiles to place.

here's some old code I wrote for the diamond square algorithm:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/wbr4h93jssm6pfn/dsquare.tar.gz?dl=0

comments are almost non-existant, and it's somewhat messy, but it's functional.
I included the makefile so you can build it easily.

usage is lScape5 width height

really, I could have just used one parameter, since the image has to be square.
Also, the dimensions have to be one pixel higher than a power of 2 for it to
work: eg. 257x257 or 513x513
