Looking for specific software

17 years ago

I am looking for some software that will take a large number of pictures and make a picture out of them...I know this is clear as mud, LOL! But I have seen some ads where they have hundreds of pictures (think thumbnail size) and together it makes a picture of something else.

Anyone know how to do this or what it would take to do this? Or what it is even called?

Thanks

Ann

This is no help but I know what you are talking about. We have a book with large pictures composed of smaller bits of pictures. The pictures are fascinating. And a few years ago I read how it is done- mosaics, if you will. Possibly the book explains the process. I haven't thought about the book in several years. Maybe I can find it. Worldstart.com has many forums. Those people are very helpful and can possibly point you in the right direction.

gmom74, Thank you!! I couldn't put the word with my thoughts. Mosaic! That's what I'm talkin' about, LOL.

Off to do some searching.

Have you tried Microsoft Works Spreadsheet? An Excel-like program, but not as many whistles and bells. If you have Windows, it probably came with it.

iowagirl, if you check back- actually phototakers.com is the site I was thinking of. Worldstart is good, too, but try phototakers.

Right away I thought of Picasa2's multi-exposure in making a collage...but I don't think it does a large number of photos...Then I found one where you take different exposures of the same shot and create one nice photo...

link to Picasa2... http://picasa.google.com/features/features-create.html

Also on the Graphics and Scanning Forum here at THS, someone there may have an answer for you...

Here is a link that might be useful: One photo with different exposures

I found a freeware one called AndreaMosaic. It works really well, although I think I need more photos, with different colors in them. I tried it with 100, but I think it would be better with more. The picture I used converted the 100 to over 800 (reusing them) so I think the detail would have been better using more pictures. Very fun to play with!
