on a white layer, select two pixels, diagonally opposite from each other, fill them in with black, select the 2*2 square that you have made (which looks like a bit of a chesspoard) & define pattern.
Go to your chosen image, make a layer mask, select all & fill it with your pattern.
Every other pixel on your chosen layer will now be transparent.
Then you are on your own; there can't bee too much contrast on the 'hidden' layer, otherwise it seems to show through.
Not sure how the hidden image pops up; to do the one above, I made one, inverted (the colours, not the image) on my layer mask & then did the 2nd (the one you see above); it was a bit trial & error.
The chosen colours might have something to do with it as well.
Maybe Fnord has a bit more info...
