Mosaics from Photos with Mac OS X

Brain Nitz has introduced a nifty little Mac OS X application for Mosaics composed of other pictures. Enjoy. Thanks Brian.

A GNU desktop mechanic: "Fun Image Processing and Mosaic applications
Duncan asked me what program I used to create this photo mosaic. I used an excellent free application called MacOSaix Thanks Knarf! MacOSaix sorted through about 5000 photos on our 400mhz pismo powerbook. I don't remember how many hours it took, but I started it one evening and my wife was still watching the computational tetris the next afternoon. Poor little powerbook, if only I could run the mosaic building application on this V20z!

Well it turns out that there is an alternative mosaic sourceforge project called Jimage-mosaic Jimage-mosaic is written in Java so you should be able to run it under Linux, Solaris, Windows or MacOSX. I should be able to run it on the V20z if I have time before I have to return it :-("

Finally I have found a nice overview of some available apps and Webservices on that topic. Learning About Photo Mosaics
