Pictures within a picture
Early this month, I started toying around with the idea of making photographic mosaics from all of the images that I’ve uploaded to my flickr account. I made a montage generator program that was simple enough to make something, but the quality was just not good enough. Sure, I could make out the photomosaic, but I kept feeling that it could be better.
I’ve searched the internet before untertaking this project. I couldn’t find anything within my budget of “free”. Now since I’ve sort of abandoned the project, I stumbled upon the very program that would have given me great satisfaction if I knew about it in the first place. It is called AndreaMosaic. My favorite part is that this is a freeware program!
I first tried it out on a picture of one of my paintings since it had many colors accross the spectrum. Check out the results!
I can make out the image very well here. Rather then counting each photo as a picture element, it has split them down further to match a section of pixels. It has so many different options too. I can put in black borders between the images or specify how many images to use per row. I was even able to tell it not to duplicate any photographs. I am in awe.

Hiya Lewis!
Just a heads up, my Symantic virus scan fired when i attempted to run both installs downloaded from the AndreaMosiac website.
Could be a false positive, but just thought I would tell yaz.
See ya,

AVG identifies AndreaMosiac as a trojan. I’m not sure if I want to use this program anymore.
